I think they are green implosions. I have a ton of them

I just got a Canon XSi kit with the 18-55mm IS lens ($820) and a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 macro lens ($349). I am satisfied with both lenses. If you're worried about the price, you could go with a XT or XTi. As you see the XTi takes awesome pictures too.

It may be pods that are eating the tissue overnight -- It has happened to me before. Take a look at them with a flashlight after the lights go out. Try to raise them off the sand bed/live rock by putting it on a frag rack. Or on a high rock in the corner of the tank. If it was smelling funky...

Beautiful tank keep it up

Look nice ... The PDs will spread out in no time... It may help if you take it off the plug and glue it onto another small rock. I've noticed they grow/spread out faster that way...

Are those the ones i sent you rebel? They are looking pretty good. The lower lighting the PDs get the more purple they will be. If they get a ton of lighting they will start turning brown. So keep them at the bottom of the tank. The PDs also spread like crazy in my tank. The NGs are kinda slow...

Here are some pics... I have a colony of 20+ or a single polyp/3-polyp frags. This is what they look like now. Here are more pics under a better lighting system... Under higher lighting they will become speckled and look like this...

I have a colony of about 20-25 (i think)... They kind of look like the picture above... If your interested i will take some pics later tonight. PM me if you want them...

Originally Posted by m0nk That was likely amphipods and/or copepods. They'll eat dead and dying flesh, so if this particular coral was dead or dying (even if you can't really tell right away), they'll go for it and clean it up. I've had pods eat up my healthy zoas. This is why i took them all...

I'd like to take him... How much total to 22980?

Well i just got a sixline wrasse anyways. So hopefully they won't be a problem if there is any.

Couple more of my Nightmare Palys

I want it... Sent PM

haha, i love this camera... is so worth the money. The pictures almost always come out excellent. Here are a couple more of my neices i am visiting in Dallas. And then they decided to torture me some (not taken with my XSi)

I have had pretty good luck with the Auto-Focus on the Sigma. It is a little noisy, but i haven't had to do a manual focus yet. If it won't focus/has trouble focusing, i just adjust the camera front/back a couple of inches and try again. I am happy with it so far. I wanted to go with the Canon...
