I have a chance to save it? wait sorry i completely jump right past what you said and right to your complement. I could save it and even though its not closing anymore? wouldn't mind trying to. something like a sugar dose or drip in my hospital tank?

cheers I know they really are beautiful arn't they. Just hope I can keep up the vigilance it requires, cause every i've read seem pretty sure that they die off in captivity if not in a 1 species specific tank. HA love a challenge.

Is this a case of aptasia too? ever since I introduced the pink carnation into the tank is has had this ugly snappy stem but looks like is hasn't been spreading and is even coexisting quite well , to my knowledge, with the branch its beside. It would be nice to get rid of it because is...

yeh I will not be trying to catch, and I assume he is eating enough because he grazes the live rock all day long and I'm sure he's eating some of the stay krill I feed my coral/anemone. Thanks for the insight and I will let it known if it progresses into anything worse.

Hi, I have a Copperband Butterfly fish, newly acquired into my tank and has developed a pimple like spot on the right side of his head. I've kept a persistent worried eye on him for atleast 5 days and he doesn't seen to he acting anything strange, just timid but active and feeding. Just now I...

Is this dangerous or is the anemone just checking the sun coral out. Can anyone tell me if I should be thinking about moving the sub coral elsewhere?
