    Do Green Carpets stay closed when not hungry? (Pic included)

    Hey peg, my Flame Angel died today. He was perfectly healthy and swimming yesterday, but not eating, but today he was torn to shreds (nobody was picking on him at all. Can't understand it). Anyway, he died about 5" away from the green carpet so I figured, what the hell. I nudged him over to the...

    do saltwater sponges look like white mushrooms when they reproduce

    Yeah, there's a bunch of them. All over the tank, and most of them just growing out of nowhere, not previously known shrooms that were looking good, i.e. the one I originally inquired about under the green rhodactis (look at me, I'm learnin', I'm learnin'!). If I turn the rock so more light...

    Show off your tank(s)!!

    Clorox bleach! :confused: Well, I don't know which of these things keeps the bed white, but I have all the windows in that room blacked out, no sunlight direct or otherwise on the tank. I use Chemipure Elite, bio-pellets in a Phosban Reactor, and I occasionally have to clean the front of the...

    do saltwater sponges look like white mushrooms when they reproduce

    I do have a couple of fuzzies on a rock with about 10 of them that are, in fact ,losing color and turning white. They're the ones most facing away from the light, ironically enough, like they're not getting enough light. Notice the one on the right bottom of this rock.

    do saltwater sponges look like white mushrooms when they reproduce

    I've had other "baby mushrooms" appear fully formed, only really small. That's why I'm confused. Lighting conditions haven't changed, and powerheads pointed away from my rockwork. the only flow that directly hits them bounces off the front glass. I don't really mind them, I want my rock work...

    do saltwater sponges look like white mushrooms when they reproduce

    But this one appeared under my green rhodactis, which is still attached to the porcelain stand after 6 months. Now suddenly the bleached out one is there. It grew from underneath the green one. It didn't sidle over from another part of the tank. And why are so many of my mushrooms suddenly...

    do saltwater sponges look like white mushrooms when they reproduce

    No, they look like mushrooms. In fact I have one rock with about 9 or 10 fuzzy mushrooms where a couple of them have turned white and look like the ones I'm finding around the tank. Here's a pic. Its the white thing under the green mushroom. It looks exactly like the green mushrooms on either...

    do saltwater sponges look like white mushrooms when they reproduce

    That's what my LFS says. I have these things in my tank that look exactly like fuzzy mushrooms, only they're a translucent white. I'll try to take a picture. Any idea what they are? Bleached mushrooms? Sponge babies?

    On closer inspection it appears the Majestic is done for. Discoloration, patches of velvet, not eating, eyes glazed over... another case of bad quality fish from my LFS. It seems 2 out of every 5 are healthy beyond 4-5 days.

    He's insane! He's out of his mind! He's right! ;-) Although, I do have plenty of water flow in the tank. The funniest thing is watching one of my yellow tangs insisting on grabbing that one piece of mysis shrimp that gets sucked into my powerhead and is stuck at the exit, while easier to get...

    I always aim for the funny bone. My aim is true.

    Couldn't have put it better myself, flower. It's a display to me, not my pet collection. To be able to recreate an environment as delicate as the ocean in your home always fascinated me. I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I did pick up a huge mushroom on a huge purple coraline...

    Do Green Carpets stay closed when not hungry? (Pic included)

    Do fish get constipated? Seriously. The Majestic, I've noticed, will eat normally, then only pick at a few shrimp the next day, then not eat at the second feeding and look listless, then suddenly explode in a cloud of poop. Yesterday he let the Queen approach him and he tilted over, and the...

    Do Green Carpets stay closed when not hungry? (Pic included)

    OK, thanks! Now I have to wonder what's wrong with my majestic. He went from perfectly fine and eating to looking like he's about to become anemone food, in one day. Grrrrrr.....

    Did you? Sorry, I was multitasking and didn't notice you answered previously. That's it, no more chewing gum and reading for me. As far as the picture I meant why are you building a sump that looks like a Japanese hotel? ;-). Then I noticed you have it on its side.
