One of our branching frogspawns has grown over the neighboring anchor. Instead of rearranging the tank, I would prefer to frag the frogspawn because it has tripled in size within the last year. I have never fragged before and the skeleton of LPS is daunting. Will the frogspawn live if a piece or...

i'm reading through the latest issue of FAMA and now i'm intrigued about freshwater shrimp. it's not too difficult to breed some that don't have a larval stage. i think it would be fun to set up a small tank and if the shrimp breed, i can use the baby shrimps as food for our tank. good idea or no?

Last night I noticed brown spots on one of our frogspawns in the white area between the soft tissue & skeleton. Today I sucked some out with a tiny hose and after the soft tissue withdrew, I saw these was also spots on the soft tissue & found one on a striped mushroom that was nearby. They do...

Haven't been on the boards in a while...just remembered there is a special forum for this so I posted my question there.

LFS had it labeled as an indian mimic but I'm not convinced.

We first noticed these weird growths about a month ago. They have been growing quite steadily. We've had the gsp for 8 months now and the mat has spread out. These growths are lighter in color and aren't visible during the day when the polyps are open. It seems strange they didn't show up until...

We have a 92g corner bowfront. I didn't want to have any rocks leaning/touching the sides of the tank and with 130# of rock, there isn't a lot of sand in the front. We have 1 elegance coral & would love to have a 2nd one but it's likely their tentacles would touch. Is this detrimental or can...

What kind of euphyllia is this - a branching anchor? 2nd pic taken a few months after the first...

we've had a rusty angelfish for 1 1/2 years with no problems and our tank is full of lps & inverts. i love the electric blue strip he has at the end of his tail fin!

Can a galaxea touch another galaxea without harm like frogspawns & hammers can? I'm guessing not but still need to ask.

our green star polyps were big and beautiful until they were attacked by an anemone that is long gone. the gsp never quite recovered. this green mushroom looking macroalgae started growing a while back and it's taking over the gsp rock. we do have an indian mimic tang and rusty angelfish in the...

last week after i tested calcium, i was rinsing everything out in the kitchen sink. i didn't notice the little bitty measuring spoon for the regeant b powder had fallen into the garbage disposal. i found bits of it later that day when i turned the disposal on and heard a strange noise. it's the...

did a 10% water change yesterday and then later, tested. results: salinity at 1.026 with refractometer, nitrite 0, nitrate 10, alk 9.3, calcium 360. i have been adding kent part a/b calcium supplement which also buffers. i started dosing full recommended amount for our tank every other day...

during early/mid june, we switched out our lightbulbs. we have a tech fixture with 6 x 39w T5's. we used giesemann again with the same types: 2 pure actinics, 2 aqua blues and 2 actinic +. we switched 1 bulb out every 2-3 days over a 2 1/2 week period. the tank is deep - 92g corner bowfront by...

just an update - the sebae is still in the back of the rockwork beneath an overhang. the clowns still carry pieces of food back to it during feeding time. our male clown stays under the rocks with the sebae most of the time, the female is out about half the time. with the flashlight, I can see a...
