    Moon lights and acclimation time for Buttons and Ricordea Yumas!?!

    Last night after the light went out, i saw a Zoa eating nudi on my colony. Quickly took out the zoas and sucked the damn pest with a syringe and got him out of my tank. I just hope there aren't more of them on there, which probable there are. What should I do if there are??? Quote: Originally...

    Moon lights and acclimation time for Buttons and Ricordea Yumas!?!

    My zoo buttons still haven't all opened up. Maybe like 85-90% of them are open and hanging out, but the rest are still closed. How long does it usually take for them to fully open up??

    Moon lights and acclimation time for Buttons and Ricordea Yumas!?!

    Yes, its on a small piece of live rock. It might have been in a spot with too much flow, so I moved it last night, and checked it this morning. Its in the same spot, so I hope it likes it where it is for now. From what I've read about their photo acclimation, I placed it under a shaded part of...

    Hi, I just got two corals, one fragment of Palythoa Buttons and Ricordea Yuma Mushroom corals. I was wondering how long I should acclimate them for? Ive been drip acclimating them from 8pm, and now its 9:20. Should I do more? Also, do these need a moon light at all times of the day/night to be...

    55 Gallon Build Thread! Will Need some advice/tips along the way!

    I think its settling down. I will take a short video later tonight and upload it on here. I have been turning the lights off everytime I see her chasing and running into him, which I think has helped. On my QT status, I noticed a small brownish spot on one of the Chromis yesterday....not happy...

    Think My Clownfish are fighting!!!!!!

    I have the lights on from 4PM-10PM as is to cut down on some allege. Should I keep them off for a whole day?? And no, I haven't tried the rocks yet. Maybe I should do that.

    Think My Clownfish are fighting!!!!!!

    I see. Yes, I have a 14G which is set up as a QT, and a 55G DT. I will give it another day or two and see if she stops being like this to him. If not, I will have to give him away to the LFS because I already have 3 chromis in the QT, so theres little room.

    Think My Clownfish are fighting!!!!!!

    No they haven't yet. Its been about 10 days or more now. I have 2 ocellaris clowns that I got together about 4 months ago. They lived in a 14 gallon tank for about 2.5 and I recently (1.5 months) moved them and the yellow fin angel into my 55 gallon. I have never seen they fight before, but now...

    Think My Clownfish are fighting!!!!!!

    Ok, I just came home from a 2 day business trip, and I think the fighting has gotten worse. The male looks terrified, and has notable marks on him, and one of his fins looks like it took a beating a little. I don't know what I should do?? I don't want one of my clowns to kill the other one...
