I feel your pain. I have a rock that had 6 mushrooms on it. Mexican Turbo Snails kept knocking it over and now it only has one.

I was assuming that it it a branching hammer coral. You can cut it off with a drimel tool or just use wire cutters if there is no flesh close to the cut.

It can take a couple of days to open up, but if you are sure it is dead then cut it off. I had a frogspawn that died one head at a time until I cut the dieing heads off. Then it stopped, but I lost 1/3 of my frogspawn.

WOW! This is the first thread I've seen on here where aiptasia is spelled correctly. The second pic could be colonial anenomes, but the pic is too blurry to tell for sure.

I'm having the same problem. Mine are stretching out and have white spots on them. The stalk becomes pinched and breaks off. I'm thinking it might be Zoa Pox.

I've looked EVERYWHERE the shrimp could have been. I'm sticking with the alien theory. I just wish I knew exactly what happened. I'm scared to get another shrimp now.

Yes that's right, aliens took my Coral Banded Shrimp. It was in my 7.3Gal nano yesterday and now it's gone. I took out all of the LR and searched for it. I checked in on the floor around the tank. I could't find any trace of it. It was a pretty big shrimp. How could it just disappear? The tank...

The first one definitely looks like an ocellaris. The second one could be a true perc (notice the black lines are wider) but is not a B&W ocellaris. Also, the second one looks to be in very bad shape. I would think twice about purchasing from that LFS in the future.

Go AWAY!!!!

There are laws against posting without pics!

Here's my Black Ocellaris (who has recently hosted with some orange zoos , haven't been able to get a pic yet) and here's my two Orange Ocellaris clowns (who still have not hosted with ANYTHING )

They didn't start stretching until they became pinched with the white spots. Notice the polyps laying in the sand on the right side? It's 260w PC on a 55gal and this particular frag is at the bottom. It has spread to a few other frags in the tank. Even ones close to the top have started stretching.

Anyone?

The pic is too zoomed out to tell. I've heard that sometimes if there is just a little bit of the flesh still living that it can regenerate. I've never personally seen this though.

Does this look like Zoanthid Pox? If not what could it be?

Sounds normal to me. Corals will inflate more when the day lights are on.

I built this 7.3 gallon nano out of acrylic. Just get acrylic sheets and use Weld-on #3.
