Thanks guys. Hopefully the polyps do open up today. I noticed that they had a lot of new growth on them, could that have been another possible reason as to why they didn't open up completely?

As for the high salinity dip the problem is that the rock they're in has some coral on it so couldn't that hurt the coral? Yea, I didn't really care about them until today I noticed that my Green Stars didn't open up and I noticed that a bristle worm was crawling on and around them. Do you think...

Yea, I've seen the traps at my LFS but was wondering if they actually worked or not. I've heard the Coral Banded Shrimp will eat them too but would I have to worry about a Coral Banded Shrimp attacking any of my other inverts?

I've noticed today that my green star polyps were a bit irritated and a little while ago I noticed a bristle worm crawling around the rock that they're on. Can someone tell me an effective way to remove them?

I've been thinking a lot recently of building a sump for my 75G with money that I've gotten from graduation. Also, what is a good design for one? I know that there are a lot out there and basic designs and that but how exactly should I go about it (Chambers, sizes, etc...) I want to be able to...

Okay, thank you guys for that information!

In the main right now I have two Clowns (percula or false percula's can't tell.), snowflake eel, and a strawberry gramma. The guy in QT is a Firefish.

I've had a fish in my quarantine for a couple of days now and he seems to be doing fine. There are no abnormalities on him, he's eating regularly, swimming normally, everything seems to be fine. Is there any reason why I shouldn't go ahead and put him in my tank? Thanks.

I was thinking about getting a leaf scorpionfish for my aquarium but I was reading and it said that more aggressive fish may try and nip at it and could get stung. Would this be a problem with my snowflake eel or would it be okay? Also would my Clowns and Strawberry Gramma be okay around him as...

I ordered one off of ebay for about 30 bucks and it seems to be working fine. I calibrate it before I use it every time to 1.0 using purified water and I haven't had any problems.

Ok, I'm not seeing any heavy sprinkles but for the next couple of days I will keep a look out. I was probably just being paranoid, I tend to do that sometimes. I'll keep you guys notified.

The more that I look at the fish I don't think that they have ich. None of the other fish are showing signs and I don't see any on the gramma. His fins just seem to have a naturally shiny purple tint, is that correct?

I know that a 20g would be better but If I do have to would a 10g suffice, that is all I have right now and don't really have the money to buy a new tank for it unfortunately.

My QT is set up with some live rock and argonite, is that okay or should I remove the LR and argonite and just leave it bare bottom with PVC. Also, would the two perculas, the Gramma, and the eel live in the 10g okay for the time while they go through treatment if there is ich.

Thanks, The button mushroom was open more earlier when I'd first put him in there but when I went to take pictures he was closed like that.
