I agree and feed that brain, hahaha!!! Both are nice looking

If you don't want to risk it.....I've read that with small ones, that adding a peppermint schrimp to the tank will do the trick. I dont think they'll nuke a large infestation but small ones they'll take care of. Anyone else heard this???

$25!!!!! Wow! to the steal. Yeah, when are you gonna frag your frag? Beautiful piece and a great coloration also!!

Yeah, and as long as the water didn't smell horrible! Def. acclimate slowly. Good luck!

NP, I hope the advice helps. Yeah natural seawater has a KH of 8 or alkalinity of 2.9. Numbers to shoot for neway. I use the Salifert test kit. It's a little tougher to use and involves some math, but from what I understand, its one of the more accurate test kits. Good luck!

The other thing to is that I use tap h20 also and at the beginning I had high trates (as well as high phosphates) and make tank was not doing real well. As a last resort (trying not to take the plunge into a RODI unit) went onto either QVC or HSN and purchased an on-the-counter water purifier...

Jamie, dont worry about your shroom falling of the rock. They will do that as they try to expand the colony. It will prob leave some of itself attached to the rock that it is falling off of and a new shroom will grow there. Once it fall you can either let it gather sand and use super glue gel...

Nine days! Nothing like nuking your lifestock!

I put mine in at about the six month mark. Agree with above, let everything really stabilize. I have mine placed high under PC's and they are thriving big time. I orginally purchased three heads and I now have 8. It's getting to the point that I may have to trade some bc they are getting...

Mine eat every other night and I try to feed each head. They are found in caves, etc. in the wild, but if you place them in that type of area in your tank, they may be alittle hard to feed. I have mine out in the open sand bed under no cover. I have PC's and they are doing great! Again...

Looks cool, but its hard to tell. It has individual polyps and the interesting thing is that each polyp has eight feeding tentacles (from what I can count). It definately looks like an octocoral which puts it in the leather family. Again, cool find!

Yeah, dont worry about the overlapping. I have about 4 different types in one area of my tank and there are no problems. Sometimes they will slime especially after an h2o change but they dont hurt any neighboring coral. They will overcrowd and fall off and you basically just need to get a...

They are pretty easy to take care of if you have the time to give to them. Like the others stated above, they need to be spot fed since they do not produce their own food. I feed mine frozen mysis every other day and I use a turkey baster to feed them. As stated above also, my cleaner shrimp...

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm gonna go with the "rock out of water" technique, mostly because I don't trust my fragging ability. The colony of zoas are small and dont what to do them in with a mistake. They are pretty sweet, bright red/orange centers with bright green ends. Anyway...

Bump, anyone got anything to help out???

A few months ago I purchased a combo rock with some pink/green shrooms and dragon eye zoos. Also on the rock is some type of sponge (light green color) which seems to be growing faster that either of the two types of coral. Anyway it seems to be crowding and inhibiting the growth of my dragon...

It won't open per say. That's it, the way it looks now. However, the flesh will expand and get swollen looking. I agree with the above post. As long as there is no skeleton showing your good. When was it added to the tank?
