MUD, what do you mean by sporulates? I have some grape calerpa and I noticed that the ends are pointed and translucent. What does that mean?

I bought some new live rock tonight and placed it in my curing tank. I have a nano cube set up to cure live rock as I get it. My LFS has about 8 tanks set up to cure live rock. The tanks are marked with the date that the rock came in so you know how long it has been curing. Anyway the rock I...

My feather duster worm left its' tube and is now laying on the sand. I would like to have it growing out of my live rock. Would putting it on the rock hurt it in any way?

It's a possibility that by now, it is fish food. I have had quite a few fish disappear on me.

OK, I was wondering because I didn't see any pics either. I thought maybe I was missing something. LOL
