    Bubble Coral...sick or angry?

    I have recently added a bubble anemone to my tank whihc is about a year old. Sometimes (usually at night or early am) it is all tight-knit bubbles. As the day progresses, however, it opens way up like, say, my long-tentacle, although its tips are still bubbly. Is this normal behavior or a sign...

    Sohol has "Sores"?

    I just noticed that my Soho has two dark-ish spots that look like sores. They are not open, and they are not bleeding or anything like that. I am concerned that this might be some sort of bacterial infection and want to nip it in the bud if so. I just added a large Purple Long-Tentacle Coral...
