We love ours, Mine also grows on individual stalks. I started with about 4 heads and now have about 12. These guys are very expensive around where I live. Averaging $20 per head. If you find them at a good deal, you should jump on it.

Hey guys, I have had this scolymia for about a year, lately he formed a split along one side in the soft tissue. At first I thought; uh-oh he is receding, but now I'm not sure. He continues to act healthy, will swell up nicely during feeding and the slit in the tissue looks to be rather healed...

I am not going to imply that I approve of pulling fingernails out or electro shock to the genitals as a normal procedure for interrogating prisoners, but.... As other have made the point, sometime extreme circumstances call for extreme measures. Does this make us just like them? Maybe is some...

Just to offer some input if others ever have this problem. I was having a bad bout with brown wafer algae, my wife was using a stick and fingernail to try and pull off as much as possible, but this seemed to be a loosing battle. I had heard on the forum that the only thing that would eat it was...

I'll try for a better pict. but won't be home for a few days.

I have a Blue Hippo Tang, Foxface and Lawnmower blenny, but none of these guys have anything to do with it.

I've had a green ricordia and a orange ricordia for 6 months, maybe longer and neither has split. They both seem happy, I'm just waiting to see what happens.

This brown algea has started taking over some of my LR. I have been told that it is a form of brown coralline. It does grow in circular patches, we have a large circle on the back wall in the photo. It grows across the rocks just like coralline, has a slight slimy feel, and does not scrape...

Thanks essop; yep, I scraped at it and it has a soft slimy feel, it will scrape off. So your probably correct. It is only appearing on the LR on one side of the tank. I have been having a little trouble with the MH light sometimes not firing on that side. My tank setup is approaching 6...

Our coralline algae has been developing over the last 6 months in our new 75G reef tank. Noticed this week that the purple coralline algae on one side of the tank appears to be turning a dark brown. Sometimes when testing the Calcium levels it drops in the 380 range, otherwise it usually tests...

Just got my first Stony corals, 1 acropora and 2 monti digitatas, am unsure about my current lighting schedule. I have 2 x 250w MH and 4 x 65w Actinics. (Total 760w) 75 gallon tank Currently set for Actinics to come on at 1pm and off at 9pm. MH set to come on at 2pm and off at 8pm. This...

thanks all, I don't have a tang yet, tank is still very young, 3 months. So my plan was to let tank mature before adding a tang, but I understand that most tangs would eat this type algae. I have been told to monitor it tho, cause if it gets out of hand it is much harder to deal with. I will...

Thanks for the replies, I will have to look up some of the names you guys mentioned. The coral was purchased as a purple capanella. Colt coral I believe.

I Have this starting to grow in 3 spots on LR. Is it macro algae (kelp)? Is it ok to grow, tank is 3 months old. Or should I get rid of it. Thanks

Here is a picture of what appears to be some type of algae/plant growth. Been like this about a month, growing slowly. Currently about 1" long. 1/8th dia. Any help in what this might be and if it is good or bad, I would appreciate.

Can anyone tell me what typical RO water should test out at? I recently tested the RO/DI water that I get from LFS. Using Pinpoint monitor I get pH of 9-10 depending on which jug of water that I test. Alk test show 5 dKH! I would have expected the RO water to be somewhere close to the neutral...

Thanks BG, your comments are very helpful, sorry not getting back. Been traveling. I will leave the iodine alone til sometime in the future. Will work on making my own homemade meat blend of natural seafood. Think I have seen some recommendations on other posts. Read a good article relating to...

Thanks, I'll continue to read up, don't think from what I've seen that it is the red slime or cyanobacteria.

This has started to show up on LR, tank is about 6 weeks old. Some is being eaten by hermits and lawnmower blenny, but it doesn't seem to be their favorite, should I be worried????
