Same lighting and about the same distance down as yours too. The rest seems very healthy, Just those two spots.

I've had this coral about three weeks in my tank and other areas where brown slime has cleared up but this won't seem to. And another spot hasn't cleared up either. It varies from brown to black and a polyp has never come out of either spot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you two so much. Just want to be able to care correctly. The two I were unsure about were the pagoda and the Mille. So thank you. They are only a week old In the tank, so still acclimating.

The guy at my LFS told me the third was a millepora (sorry if I spelled that wrong). But I'm looking at some online and I'm unsure. I think I'm gonna get a vortex wave maker in a few weeks but I wanted to see if I needed to take that financial plunge or not

I think my second one is a stylophora, not an acro. Thanks for the confirmation on the first and making me look another direction for the third.

I'm pretty sure what two of them are but I'm unsure if the one is a turbinaria. (pagoda coral) Regardless if I think I'm right about the other two, I'd appreciate any input. I'd rather know I'm wrong and care for these the way they should be than take care blindly. Thank you for any help. Daniel

I can't put the protein skimmer in the first chamber as it won't allow for it. Unfortunately with the model I bought its somewhat blocked off. So it either has to go in the 3rd or remain in the DT. As for what I'm putting the the fuge do far magic mud and I dunno what else yet. As for fish in...

So I just bought an aqueon proflex model 2 sump and am turning the middle section into a refugium. A few questions. 1. A) How do the Copepods not get killed by the return pump on the way back to the dt, or do they? B) Do I have to manually transport them by exchanging LR? 2. Regarding a...

Thanks for the question and I made me do research. Here a page. But I'm not going to say its definitive. It's just one source. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/07/23/vermetid-snail-stony-corals/

You're thinking stomatella snail, or however it's spelled. Google the pics of vermatid snails, you'll see they are the same.

I am usually getting the same picture on google, but mine is gray and I'm guessing a juvenile. Barely owner a quarter inch in size. Maybe they change colors as they mature. He's got the little "fans" that he extends to gather food, so I'm pretty sure he's an anemone crab. Just curious on the...

The dog doo swirl looking this are vermatid snails. They don't move, and shoot out a slime and reel it back in to feed. I have them in my tank too.

I figured that's the type it was. Thanks again. I'll read up on them. Still clicking in the tank and can't find the source. No mantis have popped out to "play". I don't want to have to soda all my live rock. But I want to find out whats causing it and get rid of it before I add my fish.

Been trying to snap a pic of him/her for months. Finally it sneaks out for a peek almost fully. Harmful or safe? It's has the fur of its legs like an emerald crab

I guess time will tell. Thanks again.
