Thanks for the reply does anyone else out there have any personal experience they can share (how often did you feed it?) length of time it survived?

Before I purchase one (FD) of these could someone please share any information regarding length of life. What is the longest anyone has heard of someone keeping one alive in their tank?

Found my own answer on another web forum where the author stated that 1 to 2 months is not unusual for leathers to close while shedding .

My TS Leather is now going on almost 1 week close. Everything else in the tank is healthy and before this this coral was expanding daily and appered to be growing. I know they go thru rest period but what can be a normal amount close before one should start to worry?

Oopps! Damn public school education it's my parents fault. Please ignore the extra p that should read stripers.

We have grass shrimp in the waters here in Cape Cod. By reading the link above I can tell you i'm 100% sure its the same species. They grow to about 1 to 1 1/2 inches and are almost clear . My house on Cape cod is near a marsh and I see thousands of these things in large groups everytime I go...

I like mine at 1.025 the best way to change it is slow. Just mix some water and salt to about 1.017 then use that to replace water that evaporates. As the water evaporates and you replace with salt water your levels of salt content will rise. Again, do it slowly.

I know this is off subject but I wanted to get an Emeral crab but was told that they eat coraline algae is this true?

sorry no digital camera else I would post.

I have seen white before . I'm sure that the white is coralline but the lime green color is what I have never seen before that's why I am hoping some on the experts on this board can tell me if it is or is not?

OK for those of you wondering about LR from this site. I got my 25# order of LR from SWF.com today. I would like to say that I was skeptical because their price was so D#mn cheap compared to LFS 9 to 10 per pound prices. I was expecting rock with lot's of purple and pink coraline but got rock...

I'm no expert but what I have heard is just remove it with your hands but be very careful not to burst it in the tank since it will release spres that will then compound the problem by creating more.

One more question regarding Ich. If Ich goes thru a cycle in which it is in the water column until it attches to a fish's skin. Is it posible it can be eaten by corals feather dusters which filter the water?

OK I have a 29 G reef tank with about 30 lbs of LR 4 inches or 45 LBS live sand. Right now I have 3 soft corals (Leather, Xenia ,Colt). 10 Astrea snails and the fish load is 1 Royal Grama 2 False Percula Clown. All three fish are under 1 1/2 inches. I would like to add one additional fish. The...

Ok then please expand. I have been monitoring this web site for only 4 weeks but I have seen the number 3-5 Watts per/G . My math shows that I have about 4.5 Watts /G. That should put me in the range everyone shoots for. Id PC Watts different then VHO or MH watts?

I have the same question. In my case I have 130W of PC. 1 65W 10K bulb and one 65 W Actinic. The tank is only 29 G currently have soft corals but was very interested in gettin a open brain or frog spawn . Can this be done?

Thanks on my way to CVS right now.

No no base Are you talking about normal everyday super glue? If so does the chemicals present any danger to the water chemistry?

Just bought my fisrt coral (Colt) I am having dificulty getting it to stay inside a crevise in my LR . I thought about using rubber bands but fear that they might put too much preasure on the stalk or that it too could become attach after sometime to the coral. Looking for others idea on how...
