The cyno algae is growing on the rocks as well. How do you get rid of it?

A few large wcs and cranking up the flow should take care of it

I read somewhere that if you turn your light off for three days it would help in getting rid of the cyano. I did turn mine off for a couple of days and I'm only turning on the actinics at night for a couple of hours right now. I also stopped feeding my 4 line wrasse (hoping he doesn't eat all my crabs and snails) during this time. Im seeing a dramatic difference. I did start back feeding only once every other day.

I have a blue tubbs zoa that morphed into a green color. Has anyone ever experienced this with zoas?

Yeah, that'll happen from time to time.

 

[Bdonaldson]

Thanks Hank, i was going a little nuts trying to find my blue tubbs and then i realized it morphed.

There should still be the original color in there.

 

[Bdonaldson]

The skirt is the same but the blue turned to green.

On all of them? Well then we're talking about something different. I was talking about them growing and changing as they go on. That is very interesting.

 

[Bdonaldson]

Yes it is very interesting. Ive never seen one that completely changed color before.

Ive seen it happen before. Not sure what causes it, and it usually dont happen often.

 

[Bdonaldson]

Has anyone ever placed a small fish in their sump until it got big enough to put in the display tank?

since they get their coloring from the symbiotic algae, a changing in lighting spectrum or intensity can elicit a color change, at least that is what I have read.

Seems to make sense.

 

[Bdonaldson]

The lighting has been kept low because of the agae issue i was having. Im just starting to ramp it back up.

So does that mean once my lighting is back to normal will they change there color back to the normal color.
