The first coral looks like an A. millepora. Graham

oscardeuce, Thank you very much for your prompt response. One last question: Can a person faint or loose consiousness from the lightheaded and dizzy feeling? I've seen many different doctors within the past year for this issue and all found nothing to be visibly wrong -- I never thought to take...

From what I can see, it's dead. The brown growth is most likely diatoms. Graham

Originally posted by Bang Guy That Birdsnest Colony was grown out from a 1" frag under VHO. I'm not a fan of PC but theoretically a Seriatopora should grow better under PC. I've had a similiar experience. One of my older S. hystrix fragments grew twice as quick shaded at the very bottom of...

The M. capricornis doesn't have any evidant corallite structure, nor does it has large polyps. I'll guess it's a Turbinaria Reniformis. To be sure, we would need a closer image of the coral. Graham

Steve, I agree that you should try running ROWAphos. For the past 3 days I have been running ROWAphos and my phosphate has gone from almost 1ppm to 0ppm within those 3 days (the phosphate was originally from the water I used to setup the tank).

I was playing around with the camera while the lights were off on the aquarium and I found some interesting shots. To start, I found this quite humorous. At least 15 hermit crabs were piled upon this A. micropthalma:

Originally posted by Neowind Ok here it is after about 30 minutes after acclimation. For the most part, the coral is dead. However, you may have some success if you attempt to frag healthy branches on the left side of the coral (from what I can see, the left side seems alive). Unfortunately...

Thanks for the great comments! what type of lighting to you guys keep your squamosa's under? i've read that they don;t require as much light as maxima's would a 400mh be enough if it was kept on the bottom of a 22in tall tank? Mine is under a 400wt 10,000k Ushio (on PFO HQI ballast) and gets...
