I wish my Green coraline would go away!!!! My rocks used to look so cool. I think in a few months my rocks will be mostly covered in purple coraline. Or I hope atleast!

What's that growing out of your zoos???? It looks like a pest anemone. You may want to remove it...

Tank is coming along nicely. Cannot see the top of this but it looks like you may have a pest anemone here in the middle of this zoa colony.

All those zoas turned to goo. I don't think the anemone caused it though, i had a frag of those same zoas at the bottom of the tank and they started to die at the same time.

I have like 10 ceriths and 6 nass snails....I was thinking of doing a new CUC order soon but idkkkk. Iv been fighting it with water changes and less lighting. I had it under control but im guessing that while my brother-in-law was watching my tank he probably over fed. So I came back to a small bloom. I am not going to do anything diffrent for a week or so and see if I can get it under control. I light 10ks for 6 hours and actinniks for 8 hours (BTw how do you spell actinnicks? LOL). I did a 15% WC last night and plan to do another in 2 or 3 days.
I'v also heard that i could wrap my tank in paper or something and not turn on the lights for 24 hours so the tank is in COMPLETE darkness. Iv been told that can knock out some algea. Any thoughts?
My cuc right now is..
2 turbos
2 magaretas
cleaner shrimp
emerald crab
10 ceriths (Estimated)
6 nass (Estimated)
2 blue leg hermitts
