no, he's talking about a filter sponge. There would be beneficial bacteria growing in it if it was in...

hold down the "ctrl" button and scroll your mouse wheel down.
Well I just checked the water I've been using for water changes and it has .1 ppm Nitrite so I guess that solves the mystery, so question is, can I still use this water or is that level harmful to fish and inverts? and is this the cause of the diatoms or something else?
Hey guys, I have a 12 gallon tank. Only 2 weeks old, no cycle because of aged rock and live sand. I currently have a Paracheilinus mccoskeri (McCosker's Flasher Wrasse) in it. [Although I'm pretty sure he's a Flasher Mutt so maybe Paracheilinus flavianalis x Paracheilinus mccoskeri] {I digress}...

While my understanding is that Pink Tips need less light than other anemones, I still think you're falling short, although for it to die that quickly is uncommon if lighting is the problem. I would check your alkalinity, and recheck...

Thanks, the tank has been up and running for a while. It's been a lot of work along the road :P
hmm, from that picture it could just be red mushroom polyps, which are fine, and in a lot of cases, desirable. I may be wrong though, kind of hard to tell from that close up picture.
My 210 Gallon Reef:
Blue Hippo Surgeonfish
2x Anthias (Pseudanthias)
Pajama Cardinalfish
3x Percula Clownfish
3x Yellow Tang
Red Sea Purple Tang
Diamond Goby
A few Green Chromis
Fire Shrimp
2x Large Clams, 1 Medium
LOTS of hermits and snails
LOTS of coral

I'm not sure, I was thinking maybe another goby, like a Amblygobius rainfordi but I'm not really sure about compatability issues with 2 gobies in the same tank. I've read that Clown Gobies can usually avoiding getting picked on, and I have the right kind of rockwork for a clown goby to have...
woa, very similiar situation here, not selling anything but found my old tank (the exact same one as yours) in my garage. I set it up yesterday and bought 13lbs of live rock and 15lbs of live sand. waiting for the cycle and still trying to decide on a stocklist I'll post a pic in a minute, I...
