These are a common morph that occurs between Eagle Eye/Whammin Watermellon and RDE under bright lighting. Unfortunately, they are short timers, and eventually morph back to the parental stock becoming Eagle Eye's or Whammin Watermellon. Hence they are not a true morph.

Flow should be high enough to cause the skirts to wave, but not high enough to cause the zoas to close up.

I wouldn't however spend any money on the highend or collector zoas with that type of lighting.

For some types you will be ok in the upper portion of the tank.

I always try to get a piece of the rock from underneath the zoas that I am cutting out, so that when I superglue them to a new plug, I am not supergluing directly to the flesh, which can cause the zoas to melt.

Protopaly sp. similar to, but different from brown button polyps.

Calcium isn't too important for zoas, although it should certainly be within the acceptable range. Alkalinity on the other hand can be extremely important, I recommend that you test for it.

Take some Kalk paste and drop it on the oral disc of those suckers, and they will shrivel up and blow away.

I have both top and topless tanks; as others have said, it depends on what you're keeping in the tank.

Only thing I would add, is that in regards to the colonization of a new system, UV can considerably slow down the colonization of both beneficial bacteria and algaes (such as coralline) as the spores or bacteria cells do move/transfer through the water column. I wouldn't put a UV sterilizer on a...

CUC has no direct impact on nitrate levels. Only things that affects nitrate levels are consumption by plants (hence the recommended use of macroalgaes in a refugium), bacteria conversion into nitrogen gas (occurs in anaerobic zone of a deep sandbed or in the deep areas of LR - Nitrate levels...

Maybe yes, maybe no; we've done multiple sumps on multiple tank set-ups, with both acrylic and glass baffles - all were correctly cut and correctly installed. For every acrylic one that has stood up to the test of time over the years, we have another one that has failed. None of those done with...

Personally for the larger/heavier LPS I would stay away from the cordless ones, they tend to bog down in a long cut. Also, if your going to be doing a fair amount, you're going to want a carbide cutterhead (not typically commercially avialable). As Robert said, most of the branching LPS can be...
