hello, I just bought a big Bubble Anemone yesterday and it shrunk down to almost nothing when my full spectrum lighting sys was up. Then at night, it bloomed big. This afternoon, it did the same thing. I have to turn the whole light sys off now to get it open back up. I thought it's a gonner...

if you do, how often do you go in and brush or blow or whatever methods to clean the rock? I just went in and used the tank toothbrush and started brushing off those green mossy problem I've been having for months now and gosh, the rocks are dusty!! No wonder my 2 filters are so clean. All the...

I just got a piece of Moon coral. There are quite a few polyps that have like a coat of white powder around them. Just wonder if that's normal? If you know what it is, and if it's some sort of fungus, could you give me the name of it so I can search on? thank you.

Thought they were some sort of Ricordea when I saw 2 polys on a Tonga branch with some neon green Zoas for $40. I decided to buy that piece. Brought it home, set the branch in place, still thought those were some green Ricordea. Next day, they slightly moved off the spot. So, I went...
