    on a side note, what do your other corals look like? happy? what are your phosphates at? at the beginning of a phosphate problem i had a long time ago, the bubble coral was the first to wither up because of it.

    BTA lost bubbles

    BTA's often lose their bubbles in captivity. this makes no difference in their health, they still will grow and be happy, provided your tank is right for anenomes. tvwong, bubbles dont form when the anenome is stressed, they are like that in the wild, i have seen them with my own eyes and can...

    Questions about dipping corals

    i have not heard about any corals reacting poorly to an iodine dip. if you are trying to rid your tank of ick, it is good you are doing hypo, but remember to run your DT fishless for 6 weeks before re-introducing your fish. it should time out to be about the length of the hypo process.

    larger peppermints have a better chance of eating them. get 2-3 to increase your odds, and make sure you drip acclimate for 3 hours or so , to keep their health optimal. i did this, and they destroyed all of my aip. give them a little time too. sometimes when you start trying to squirt the...

    schooling bannerfish

    heniochus are not guaranteed reef-safe. these fish survive on worms as their primary source of food, so you may find any mini feather dusters, nice big hawaiian feather dusters, coco worms, and other worms eaten. they may or may not pick on your corals. there is probably about a 50% chance...

    the stage in the ich parasite's life where it would have burrowed into the LR or skeletal calcium on a coral (rare case) , is not a stage where the parasite would be suceptible to low salinity levels.

    My Lunatic Wrasse Toying with Death VIDEO

    pd, just a question - did you cut off all of your pumps when you made that video? the water seems like it is not flowing at all. the wrasse has a strong a immune system and a thick slime coat so it probably is not really effected by a quick graze from an rbta.
