thanks for all the input. as far as anything eating them, I do not suspect there is anything in the aquarium that would eat them. I have not found any nudis in the tank, and have had this system for about 2 years now. I recently tried adding new armor of god palys (reading that they prefer high...

Awhile back i switched from using (2) 24watt 50/50 pc lights to a 20k 70w HQI. Since the switch all my zoas and hairy mushrooms began to show significant lose. All of my zoas have completly died off. However, all of my LPS corals (frogspawn, brains, blasto, acans) have shown positive growth. Is...

Well my clownfish all day today has been gaurding the frogspawn fiercly and keeps sticking the polyp tips in his mouth. Is this odd behavior? He still will not allow the polyps to fully touch him.

thats awesome! I really love the pics. My clown spent the entire night hovering inches away from the frogspawn, so im inclined to believe that he is in fact being hosted by the frogspawn. I really wish I could get an anemone, but I only have a 12g nano with 48 total watts. Plus there really is...

It appears that the coral is stinging him. The polyps try and grab hold of his body. What can I do to help my clown build up a tolerence or build up his protective sugar mucus coat?

My new Singapore true perc has just recently showed interest in becomming a guest of my large frogspawn coral. However, He will not actually swim in the polps. Instead he skims the suface of the polyps. I can tell he really wants to swim in them because he will swim under the bottom heads and...

yeah i have 48 watts PC 50/50 on a 12g nano. has far as feeding goes i have not even attempted to. what is the best way to feed this species of brain? will it take frozen food?

I ordered it online and have no idea how many watts. I have over 4 watts per gallon, and all my water conditions are near perfect. Has far as flow goes I have tried to place the coral in an area that gets medium flow. I have lately started to see a little bit of green fleshy tissue appear.

I purchased a Lobo Brain about two weeks ago and have yet to see it open up. The skeleton still has color to it and has shown no signs of bleaching. What could I be doing wrong? I have it placed at the bottom with direct light and strong moderate flow.

so im guessing that what i have observed is a form of hosting behavior?

My false perc clown has been acting very strangely lately. I just got him almost two weeks ago. Recently he has dug out a trench in the sand at the bottom left side of the tank. Now he has been acting has if he is hosting in it, rubbing his side on it and nudging passing hermit crabs out of his...

maybe this is a better pic. if not ill post a better one tomorrow...

i paid $25.00 for him... he was labeled as a tank raised true perc. I really doubt he is a black and white ocellaris. the black and white oc. have a yellowed face and fins.
