I thought chaeto isn't supposed to grow out of live rock.

Can I get an Id on this. It's slowly growing in a spring like motion. It looks like a green stem.

Thanks, mine looks a little different. Less branches much longer stems.

Yes I read that, I figured there are different variations.

The branches are flowing and bouncing all over the place, I'm assuming that should be good?, thanks for the help

Thanks, hopefully it's hardy, looks good in tank, all polyps open and it's bouncing around with current.

Here is a closer pic

Anybody know if it's photosynthetic or I need to feed it?, it's polyps all seemed closed this morning before lights came on and now they r open, so I'm assuming it derives most of its energy from the light.. Any answers would be much appreciated.

Do it the right way... I went in thinking it was easy and bought my 6 gallon tank (if I researched would have gotten a 30-50 gallon) for my daughter for her Bday. Overpaid for tank, and obvious limited space in 6 gallon. Plus my daughter lost interest after a week and it became my expensive...

Thanks for the response All of the polyps just opened up.

Hey just picked up this gorgonian. Can somebody help me with a few questions. Does it need to be fed?, the LFS said no but I've read conflicting stuff. Also I have it with medium light and moderate flow, is that good?, any thing I should know about it?, predators, weaknesses, etc....

Start them off on the sand and slowly move them up.

Looking good

This is how it opened up today. Does it look good?, any recommendations?

Why is the mushroom folding up when the lights go off?, I figured it would be the opposite.

Thanks, it's come a long way. The lights are great for a small tank.

Tank survived the night. Cloudiness gone, fish look calm and corals opening up.

Wish I would have looked at your post before I did the project. Right now everything is back in tank but the water is pretty cloudy. Is this normal, ok? What should I look out for next?, should I do a water change tomorrow?

I'm finally going to do it. Can't stand looking at the crushed coral anymore, so today picked up some fine reef sand. I think / hope I know what I'm doing. Anybody with experience please chime in with advice, pointers. 1. Wash sand in bucket of salt water. 2. Have 2 other buckets 1 for fish and...

Yeah I can't wait, it's opening a little more each day.

Thanks, yeah it's pretty awesome. How quickly do they multiply and is there a way to speed it up?

Hey I just picked up this single mushroom and I'm trying to figure out the ideal set up for it. It is folded up right now, what does that mean? Do I need to feed it?, no right Low light, low flow?

What type of tank is it?

Since my original star polyps disintegrated picked up another piece yesterday that's doing great.. Fully opened this morning.
