Hmmmm.... I'd key an eye out for if. If it starts to shrink a lot that's another bad sign.

I'm assuming its hard then ?

Does it expel a brown mucus from its mouth ?

I used to put a blanket over my tank or most of it, when and if I lost power. It helped maintain the temp for longer.

Snails, sea hair (rent or borrow if you can) and phosguard. I nuked my algae problem with that. Specifically hair algae. Emerald crabs helped me a lot as well. I've also noticed that my GSP and Duncan's will close up while growing new heads or flesh. So keep that in mind for the future.

If it's closed like the first pic regularly, I wouldn't worry to much.... Mine does that all the time. When I did lose my first nem it looked like a drooping slime of a nem. If that happens take it out ASAP. However I have read that some nems come back from near death and major bleaching.

My star fish lost a leg... I blame my emerald crab. I do not add anything to specifically feed my star, and have had him for 1 yr now. I thought mine was going to die when his leg was taken, but he is still alive, and oddly enough his leg is still in the tank(about 6 months) and hasn't faded...

My two emeralds are bubble algae eating machines.... Do you have any ?

Does it srink up at night ?

That's what I thought. Thanks guys

I've heard and read that mushroom corals are part of the same family as nems.... So could one place a bubble nem near or amougnst mushroom corals ?

Thanks guys... What, in your opinion would work with a diamond goby?

CAn you have a jaw fish and sand goby in the same 30 gal reef?

What I found to be the best in keeping my sand clean was a diamond goby, and nassarius snails. Diatoms will need to run their corse and will prob look worse before they get any better. But my goby is always gill raking my sand bed and moving it around without disrupting the aqua scape to bad.

Perfect , thanks
