What do you think????? He is far enough away from other corals, I know he can reach out and sting stuff. Of course I was looking for a cheap small piece that I could exchange the brain for evenly but I saw this guy and just had to have him!!!! hope you guys like him

Well.... it's been a concern, but he seems happy, I feed mysis shrimp,Phyto and flake food. Some how he lives, but I never actually "see" him eat. I hear allot of stories about them starving to death but i have had him foe a little over a month and so far so good

Can anyone tell me what this is?????

I am sorry to say I forgot the name of this coral, and he seems to be doing poorly, all of a sudden he is getting "dark spots" and over all just dont look good, so I am trying to get more info on him and see if I can save him. My water tests good and everything else is doing well, but like everyone I am concerned due to the small amount of water in these tanks, I know it wont take long for one piece to effect all of them!! Please help A.S.P thank's

I love the frogspawn! Your picture detail is niiiiice!

The other coral looks like some kind of brain to me...
It doesn't look bad to me. It's hard to tell in the pic because the color looks so translucent, but is there any part of the skeleton exposed or is the flesh receding?

That is a old pic, I tried to take a new pic of it but the damaged parts dont show well, It looks like the flesh part in the middle is tearing off. like I said it also has some dark spots where it used to be bright white. It looks pain full! in a couple of spots's there are "holes". like the skin was peeled and now you can see into the next layer
I still have him bagged and I think I will just bring him to the LFS today and see what they think. thank's for the comment and the help, nobody else care

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Did you ever get a chance to take it back to your LFS to see what they thought, or did you just call it a loss?
But you know... sometimes things just don't make it for whatever reason. Our water quality could be perfect and stuff still dies or fail to thrive.

So, whatcha going to get in its place?

I got a new fox coral today. I've never tried one of those, so we'll see how well it does in my tank. I ordered a "custom zoa rock" and a ric rock from an online retailer and I am finally supposed to be getting it next Tuesday! I can't wait!

anyway on ward

HI all!!
I was up late last nite and looking at my tank with the moon lights on, I had a feeling that i had a un-wanted hitch hiker lurking...so I had my handy mini mag flashlight. So I was looking in all the caves I normaly cant see during the day....and.... wow!!! I found a Gorilla crab ahhhhhh!!!!!!! little ba$%^#$ . sooooo of course he was in a rock on the bottom of the tank so I had to re-arrange the whole tank!! then I couldn't get the jerk out of the rock so I had to break it in half, now he is in a bowl waiting to go to the LFS. He is a evil little guy , but I still didnt want to kill him! thank god I dont have a social life and was able to get him out of my tank!!! I wonder if he had anything to do with the mystery death of my coral piece the other day???? for that I schoiuld kill him!! o well I guess I just dont have the "killer mentality
" another day...well nite... in the reef
