I have a quick question what is the difference between Zoa's and Paly's they look almost exactly the same to me?
from a reef site:
The difference between the Zooanthus (Button Polyps) and the Palythoa (Sea Mat) species is that Button Polyps, although colonial, do not share a common mat. They grow as individuals where the Sea Mats have a fibrous encrusting mat. Individuals of the Palythoa species can not be separated without cutting through this fibrous mat. Most Palythoa are sold as Button Polyps as the two species are very similar.
Button polyps are yet another easy to keep, and beautiful, addition to any nano reef. They are hardy and can adapt to many different conditions in nano reefs. These make a great beginner coral if you want to get your 'feet wet' in coral keeping. If you have a moderately lit system, you should place the button polyps in the lower portion of the aquarium. For low light systems, the button polyp colony can be placed virtually anywhere.

What additives do you guys recommend adding to keep corals happy. I have a 24g nano cube and it has been running since last April. The only thing I have ever put in it so far has been Purple Up, however now that I just added a Monti and should be adding some other hard corals in the next couple months so please let me know what everyone uses. Thanks!

When I got home i noticed 1 of my snails on the sand has not moved since i left for work this morning. So i reached down to place him on a rock or something and turns out he was dead. I placed the snail back where it was, and a couple minutes later i noticed a hermit making a meal of him. Guess he needed a new home so he decided to take the snails!
Too bad it had to be my biggest snail! Guess i can chaulk up my first death of my tank...
