yea i got the 2nd frag from my lfs so i had no clue what they were lol.hopefully someone will chime in with an id on the blue polyps.they are nowhere on zoaid bump

also are you sure there are no predators?Some types of isopods can eat zoanthids.I have lost a couple HUGE colonys to them.Try checking late at night with a flashlight,you might find something unexpected.

i would buy at least a couple test kits.Some tend to be more accurate then others.Even if they are slightly off this can sometimes cause a problem with corals

also the small colony of polyps isent brown its more of a fluorescent red.I am just bad with my camera lol

just wanted to know if anyone could possibly id these polyps.I have like 200-300 of the blue ones and need to sell some soon lol

all i can say is

i can almost assure you they are babies.And if you have alot of live rock you might not even notice them for years.Sometimes they show themselves and soemtimes they dont.Do they have a main disk with arms coming off of it?

i forgot to mention TONS of extra polyps

awesome trader,some polyps opened immediately,highly recommended

mods close down this thread please.its making our community look bad lol

if they are multiplying that is a good sign.They are harmless and help to filter your water,someone please chime in and correct me if i am wrong

im pretty sure its a type of non photosynthetic mushroom but i forgot the name.i used to have 5-6 in my 12 gallon nano cube

no they are not reef safe.They sting corals or anything that touches them.I would recommend getting a syringe.You fill it full of liquid calcium and inject the aiptasia,You have to make sure to directly inject it and pump it full of calcium.If you dont there is a chance it can reproduce.hope...

i have seen those on the glass and swimming in my tank about a year ago lol but havent seen any at all recently

i was talking about the asterina he captured in the picture lol and the chance of finding an asterina that consumes coral is fairly rare.It is like finding a bristle worm that is a coral eater aka fireworm.

what is the medusa phase?i am just curious i have never heard this term before

i believe hydroids have a stinging capability like aiptasia and pest annenomies(sorry for the incorrect spelling) someone please correct me if i am wrong

i personally belive that they do not eat corals unless they are diseased and decaying.They are like any other part of your cleanup crew.They dont go after live coral unless it is dying anyways

there are very bad for your tank.I had an aiptasia before sprout out in the middle of one of my zooanthid colonies.It killed 7-8 polyps,then the rest got diseased and i ended up losing the entire colony.Mojanos if im correct are just about as bad.If you have a syringe,you can fill it full of...
