If he was dead, and you have a good sized CUC, they would be all over him most likely. Id keep a CLOSE eye on it, as it WILL cause an ammonia spike when it goes. It does look like its going, or about to go. Start testing for ammonia and watching to see if anything starts picking at him. If you...

Im willing to bet the clown died and drifted over to the coral. Matt

Hello all, I got a nice Superman Montipora frag over a month ago and noticed about a week ago it was beginning to bleach. There are small spots that look like bare skeleton now. :-( Some details: I didnt do any light acclimation since it was under MH at the LFS. Despite being about 12in away...

I wish my AOGs and Nuclear Greens would grow like weeds! Matt

Id also keep him! Neat little guys that like your taste in zoas just as much as you do. :cool: Matt

Oh man, I know what you mean about too much HW! Got engineering tests and everything. My tanks have got the filmy dusty algae thing going on like no ones business! Got to find some time to get them cleaned up. Still doing the PWC though. Go get yourself a new coral...Thats what motivates me...

I cant imagine a nano tank with enough space to fit enough powerheads that could cause TOO much flow... How big a tank are we talking, and how many (and what kind) power heads do you have? A better question would be whether or not your setup is ideal for a particular fish. Matt

Are these clowns young? Mine developed spots on them when they were young. Little sea anemones sound like Aiptasias and they are very bad. Can you get a picture of them, and the spots? I believe clowns are not immune, but more resistant to stings than other fish due to a thicker slime coat. If...

Thats strange...All of mine are colored like that and none seem to hang around the corals. They are usually where the algae is at. I will keep a closer eye on them now though... Matt

Sounds like he died and is being eaten by critters. You ought to see a large foot coming from the bottom. If he is dead, id remove him as he will just add ammonia which will wind up as nitrates. Matt

Id be skeptical of anything from aquaCON. They are known for shennanigans. Id google those and see if they show up anywhere else. Matt

Yeap, I actually found that Liquid Nails makes a silicone alternative that is crystal clear. Works great for what I need, just takes FOREVER to harden such that the tackiness is minimal. Its not for aquarium use, it was for something else. I got ahold of a beta light (tritium vial) and wanted...

I believe its $6.00 per car. Once you go in, you cant leave and come back (as far as I know). Its much nicer than the public beaches in PC. PC is kinda trashy in my opinion, but going to the park is a MUCH better experience! A guy at my LFS had a little trap made from acrylic with a sliding...

Looks like green star polyps. If so they will spread all over that rock once happy. Maybe a good reason to keep that starfish! ;-) Matt

Lets hope so... I just lost a mini acropora colony to RTN for some odd reason. Something might have done a bad touch. :-( It was my least favorite, but still... So how would you say your leds are working out for you? Corals coloring up well? Matt
