    Basket Starfish

    I did the drip acclimation, but only for about 2 hours. :( The starfish had JUST arrived at the LFS the night before as well, so it sounds like he might quite possibly gone from one bad acclimation to another. I take it once his arms start falling off his chances of survival are very, very...

    Sickly Frag

    Hello everyone. I just picked up a frag of an orange Montiporo Capricornis (whorling Montipora) and he's looking a little rough. :( I got him late, and decided to place him somewhere calm in the tank and leave him unattached over night. Unfortunately in the process of doing a little...

    Spreading Corraline

    One of the pieces of LR in my tank has some very pretty orange plating corraline algea on it. Is there any way to encourage this specific algea to spread and grow on my other pieces? :?:
