First thing to do is test your water. You should have no algae at all on top of your water. Your nitrates, or phosphates are out the roof.

Are there days when your brain coral stays closed? Do you know why this occurs?

Stay away from Kalkaswasser! Use sea chem products and your tank should be perfect. Reef Builder, Reef Advantage, Reef Calcium, and Reef Plus. You can't go or should I say grow wrong!

Go buy a peppermint shrimp, if it is Aptasia he will eat it.

My wife just gave me a green open brain for our aniversary. Its been a couple of weeks and it seems to be really thriving....knock on wood. I have heard that lighting does not really matter... VHO's at least or PC's. I have mine about half way up in my tank under 2 160 watt URI VHO's. I use...

On another board someone said it maybe Heliofungia or Plate Coral. Any opinions?

Play sand is a diatom factory!

I have tons of them in my sump and on the bottom of some of my live rock. I am pretty sure they are some sort of tunicate. They are beneficial filter feeders and should be welcomed in your tank. It means things are well.

I have a couple of distinct patches. It grows just like coraline and it's a rusty orange to dark brown color. If anyone knows anymore info on this stuff please give me the links or info. Gracias!

Has anyone ever seen a hard, calcerous, brown algae growing on live rock?

What if any, type of food do you feed corals and other invertebrates? And how often do you feed them? I use all seachem supplements but it seem to me they need a food source on top of the supplements. [This message has been edited by chuck (edited 07-18-2000).]

Could be tunicates.

Thanks I appreciate your responses.

Did you have it placed in the substrate or perched on a rock?

I recently purchased a green open brain coral. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these? Are they hardy and do they require anything special outside of excellent water conditions and lighting?

Snail eggs.

Has anyone ever raised their own brine shrimp? Is it possible and what means do you go about in doing this?

Get rid of your phosphates and it will dissappear.
