Oy oy!!! Tell me it's not aptasia!!!!! Attachment 219918

OMG!! I love your avatar!! I am cracking up over here.......NO!!!!

They are filter feeders..........I think they are nice. You could add some phytoplankton in there for them to eat periodically.

Congrats!!! Looks great so far!! what kind of equipment do you have?

I believe they are very simple to care for. They are filter feeders and will dig into the sand and clean it. I think only one or two would be appropriate so they don't starve to death. I don't think that you will ever really see them though. So if that is a problem you may want to find a...

wow, that is amazing looking!! i personally do not know. maybe expelling the water and swelling back up, like an anemone?

I would say I agree that anemones are prolly eating something meat related in tanks whether you give it to them or not. They may catch it from the water column or from somewhere else. The same with frogspawn and other corals. You are using phytoplankton right? Well all the corals eat that. Even...

Thanks! i like it too!!

They don't make a bulb for this fixture any brighter. I have the brightest one. It is the high output one that GLO makes. Is there another place to get one that will fit? I am okay with some areas of the tank having less light so that I can keep different corals. I would also like a rose bubble...

Another question is i have some weird snotty looking stuff starting to grow on some base rock that I have. i bought some small pieces of live rock and set them on this larger piece. it is kind of whitish and opaque and is spreading in little patches. it came off easily when i pushed at it. is...

Can someone give me insight as to ease/difficulty, attractiveness of these corals and are they appropriate for a 29 gallon (with fragging if necessary). zoos-red and super green leather-toadstool yellow candy cane bird's nest -pink blue echinata brain coral- glass goblet purple mushroom coral...

No. I believe that is normal actually. They swell up and then recede. maybe it is digesting?

i know what you mean. i have moved my rocks like 6 times already and everytime i get one new piece i have to move it around again...LOL. and mine is not even halfway through the cycle...ha ha

The handful of sand is to seed the nonlive sand with beneficial bacteria, anthropods, etc. Then, they multiply and it becomes live over time. Same thing with live and nonlive rocks. You can get a bunch of base rock and some smaller live rock and "seed'' your live rock. This a cheaper and more...

Looks amazing.......good call on the cheaper rock........it is crazy how much it costs!!

thanks! i am lucky to have some really great lfs near my home. I wouldn't be doing so well without all the people here though so pat yourself on the back, lol. I have some algae growing on the rocks already and I can actually see what I think is some sort of coral growing. It is so tiny that I...
