    What is this on my coral?

    Thanks! Any idea what kind of coral it is? My lfs had it marked as carnation, but as I look at it I'm not sure that it is.

    Moved it to my sump when I did my weekend water change, now I can stack up the live rock on the left side for a pod hiding place!

    Hoping someone can identify this

    I'm pretty sure it's not killing your star polyp, usually they are beneficial and a sign of a well established aquarium

    Sircastic's 55 gallon reef

    Is there a benefit to having it in the sump? Or is it just aesthetic? I never thought of putting it under, but I just might do that!

    Anybody have this light?

    I have the 48-60" orbit marine, and i have to say i like it. It's adjustable, and comes with a built-in timer and different weather patterns. A little pricey, but i couldn't be happier. As for coral growing, my hairy mushroom and my yellow rock polyp seem to like it.

    ID crab!

    It looks like a Gorilla crab to me, because of the black tipped claws. I can't see in the photo, is it hairy? if it is then it's definitely a Gorilla, and those are pest crabs!

    I've had my cichlid here for about 2.5 months he's housed with African cichlids his size. They all seem to get along. Today I noticed this discoloration in some of his scales, only the one spot.
