thanks elf, it seems as though we are talking about the same stuff. i remember the other red algae, from what i remember, that stuff is a lot lighter then the coralline. thanks again. brian.

thanks for the input guys. i was just very surprised as its a beautiful deep deep red algae on the rocks. i keep it off the glass. does anyone else have this deep red color algae?

how do you know if a bubble tip anenome is dying?

thanks a lot! brian.

what do people feed bubble tip anemones? how often? thanks!

thanks for the advice, how much exposure do they need to the lighting. my point is, if its at the bottom and not 100% of it is getting light, is that ok? thanks.

does he always stick his foot in a hole or is it ok for him to just stick to a rock? my bubble tip seems happy where he is but his foot is only stuck, not put into a rock, is this ok?

will i hurt him if i move him? what is the best way, he is stuck to his new rock!
