Looks like a Berghia to me also. There is good news and bad news. The good is if in fact it is a Berghia they only eat aiptasia. The bad news is that it is a night feeder if you are seeing it in the day chances are it is having a hard time finding its only food source and will die of starvation...

Thanks I know even less about photography then I know about saltwater. But I turn off my tank lights do not use a flash but set up a shop light believe it or not and move the light until I like the look of the coral

However I would be remiss if I did not tell you that I have had this coral for a long time and it is doing very well.

Alveopora as well as Goniopora are difficult to keep in the home aquarium IMO. That being said, low flow low to medium light they are found in nature on soft substrate., while photosynthetic they are also planktivorous. Again i must state that IMO they are very hard to keep in the home aquarium

Wendy PM Cranberry and have her or her husband Greg(lion fish experts) take a look at your thread.

Not sure if I can reach the bowel from the sitting room

At my age henry I am not so sure about my aim

That is my thought also. I advised Lois to not only syphon the sand where she was having a problem but to also actually remove some sand from that area for that same reasoning

Yea but once I syphon the cyano off you would think that the flow would prevent any more growth of the bacteria from forming even with nutrient leaching

It is hard to see I admit but if you look at the center of the first pic you can make out the cyano. In the second and third if you look at the Zoo in the center you can see it to the left center of the zoo. This is the only area I see any cyano and it is in a high flow area. Why same spot why...

Henry don’t leave yet. I was not going to mention this because it would seem like I was making it up. Last week I had some cyano form on a rock that was in a high flow area. I syphoned it off the rock. It is back now in the exact same place. I will try to take some pics BRB

Quote: I just don't want anyone thinking that high flow is a cause of cyano. And I don’t want anyone to think that cyano cannot continue to multiply in areas of flow. This is what I think may happen in my tank. There is a spot where the bacteria begin to multiply. No for arguments sake let’s say...

Henry are you saying that cyano can NOT grow in areas of flow

Taking an idea from my friend TommieLynn I am starting a thread on buying cheap corals. Below is a pic of a frag I picked up at my LFS for $35. A nice neon green candy cane with 12 small heads. Would you have purchased this coral? Let’s see some pictures of other reefers cheap acquisitions
