Well, I guess I expected it to be green, not a fleshy tan color.

Can someone help me here. I just received a "green leather toadstool" from SWF.com yesterday and it has no green polyps at all. The entire thing is flesh colored , including the polyps. Is it normal for a green leather that is under stress to be this color and then turn green later, or is this...

So you prefer KZ over ATI? I have been using the ATI Aquablue Special as a 50/50 type bulb and the ATI Blue + for my blue bulb. I have also 1 Geisman Actinic for the 420 supplemental light. What would you replace and with what KZ bulb? I have a 6 bulb setup and I believe I have 4 Blue +, 1...

OK, wow. Thanks alot for the help with the ID of these suckers. I knew they were some sort of pest. I wish we would have discovered sooner, but such is life. I'll pick up some Aiptasia-x and get to work. We'll attach the ones that are affecting other corals first and slowly move on to the rest...

Can you guys take a look and tell me if this is indeed aptasia? I noticed them EVERYWHERE in my father's tank. They don't look exactly like the ones I see online or in my tank occasionally. They have little balls on the end of the tentacles. PLEASE help me identify this as it is choking out all...

Man, i have had one in my tank for about a week now. At first, I would see him even when the lights were on. Now I have not seen him for 2-3 days. Should I be concerned , or do they just disappear into the rocks? I have looked everywhere in the rockwork as well as I can. Do they bury themselves...
