Thanks, I have been reading alot to it.
I'm going to siphon the water from that area and try to remove it because I have alot of lps in my tank right now.
I'm also going to start treating my tank with vitamin c and try to get this to work. :/
It has a strong flow so I don't know why this is happening... hmm..
just my awful luck I guess..
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. I will take some pics and post it tonight.
Thanks for the quick response Lois. I know I can count on you for a quick one. :)
Oh and the pipe thingy that comes out from my clam looks damaged but it still opens. Angel no longer bothers it... what are your thoughts? Should i remove the angel? Do you think my clam will make it?

Can't tell you about the clam....no clue how much damage there is w/o seeing it
as far as the coral, you can break off the "infected" head and treat it.....I can't remember the treatment...LOL......BUT if you have been reading about it I am sure you found it ;)
THAT'S ONLY IF IT IS BJD

Thanks Lois.
Keith, Keith, Keith, you always know ways to make things bit easier lol.
Spanko apparently agrees(?)
Update.
My torch coral was creating a new head and for some reason, it's not looking too good..
I see small amount of brown film. That means bad right?
okay ya...... lets all agree with the smart guy. Lol

Ok it was bjd.. that head was completely gone. I siphoned that area and then put power head over it completely.
Hope that will do the trick...

lol you guys.
It's ok, it was really small head any ways and I will just hide it in the back and I will keep my eyes on it so that it won't return...
Another 10g water change will be done tomorrow. I have put another green brain coral (Australian, it's SO BRIGHT GREEN I LOVE IT!) because one that had was bleached by my old MH lights and a feather duster that I have been looking.
I think it's time for some picture update and it will be coming up soon.

Thank you ,Krista.
I just hope that duncans and top part of hammer will open up.
I'm wondering also on the bubble's location... I wonder if it's too close to the zoos...

Oh yes, forgot about the bubble. Place then atleast 6 inches from everthing else. Man..... your tank looks good.

Lois - bubble is in the last picture lol.
Duncan hasn't opened yet so didn't take any pictures.
I was observing last night to see if they are opening up and found that 2 heads on the hammer looks to be dead. I don't see any flesh on the heads and I'm getting upset.

I purposely paid for more branches... T_T
My water parameters
1.024
Calcium 480
Ph 8.2
ammonia 0
phosphate 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0
Alk 9
Do you think that's covered on swf's 15 day live guarantee?

lol keith. I get alot of inspiration from here.
For example, I got my monti caps and sun coral type after looking at your tank and luv's tank.
I got the buttons after looking at Joe's tank, got swaying LPSs after looking at Jeff's tank.
Zoas and palys and some other softies from luv's,1guy, flower and Lois.
I'm learning alot from you guys and it's really helping me pull through.
Thread's name is Recovery and this is exactly what this is for me.
This month my tank will help me recover from my lows and come out stronger then before.
If my tank looks good, I have to give you guys due credit also.
