what is fine? what about ammonia? nitrites? if you want help you cant be so general about the information you provide

does it look like this? Astrangia- acommon hitchhiker coral in the gulf

what are you water parameters? and temp? wasit acclimated?

does it look like this?- if so it is a hydroid jelly- not really a big deal- unleyy they cover all of your rocks and sting your corals- but that isnt a common occurance

Hey i havent been around for a while but i was curious how the lagoon is going? I was totally inspired when i saw yours. That is the first thing im going to do when i get my place- I cant quit thinking about how cool it will be.

if worse comes to worse and it is an infection, weather bacterial or fungal and that area does not recover you can cut it out with a razor and ti will heal and regrow over that spot- but just keep that area clean and it should be fine

the snail isnt eating the coral- That looks like a long tentacle plate coral (Heliofungia). The coral most likely stung the snail when it fell and the snail may or may not live- Relocate the snail and see what it does

it wouldnt worry too much - IMHO i think it will be just fine

Originally posted by BeachBumTX However, your's looks as if they lost their zoozanthelle. far from it. It looks like they are actually more colorful since they were first purchased. lighting isnt the issue for this case- also eric they are GSP- there are many different color forms for these...

it looks like a cyano overgrowth on unhealthy tissue- brush it gently with a soft toothbrush and move it to an area with a bit more water flow- it is by no means lost.

you beat me to it. i wouldnt worry too much right now- they also look like that if they are injured. Mushrooms have wonderful regenerative properties.

You candycane coral "Caulastera" ia actually a Mushroom coral- looks like a Rhodactis species. Sometimes they do shrivel up like that to expell excess zooanthellae, which is perfectly healthy- however, whem mushrooms are stressed or dying they will do the same but the strands are often white or...

here is an example or why i dislike the WPG rule- Someone came in last week to the store and said that they have a little over 250 watts on an 110 gallon tank. With the WPG rule that works out to be about 2.5 WPG. Which dosent sound like anything at all. However 250 of those watts were on one...

congrats- that is a fine example of responsible reef keeping

WPG should be thrown in the trash- It all depends on depth of the tank wattage of the light(intensity or lumens) and the desired corals- What are you looking to keep

they handle lower to high range light just fine- they get huge, we have some at work with a 9" span and have no problem eating bits or whole krill

nassarius snails for smaller tanks have my vote for sure- hardy guys too- get to about an inch and are easy to feed

ummm jelous for sure- especially with the purple and green nana- those are not cheap- Very nice score

i run 250 20K XMs and yes i do as well- i dont know if it is specific to the xm brand but i thought it would have been intense enough to do the job. but other than my feeling of relation i have nothing more i can offer you there

what is your ph at- i wouldnt use that for anything- that is a temp fix- tell us more about the tank- there is a reason why it is so high- we should start from there
