I think your frogspawn was more expensive because of the nice blue-green coloration. Most frogspawn is green with the white tips. So that price is either right on or a few too high.
Pipe organ coral that I got for $10, not opened up yet.. might not ever. Taking a risk with it.
All of your tubipora's calcite tubes appear to be completely vacated; it's essentially an empty skeleton lacking polyps or coral tissue and looks 'dead'; it should not have been sold as live coral.
When the polyps are retracted the pipe organ polyps should still be evident: (please excuse the two renegade anthelia polyps)
Yeah, my tank wasn't ready for a nem. plain and simple.
I'm not sure what it is. Not debris though. Maybe calcification? I'll get a better picture inside of it tomorrow.
Thanks carey! Look at me I'm a reefer!
I'm interested here. Why not? Bad water parameters? Not enough light? Read a couple other posts of yours in other threads, seem you've come across some bad luck.
