Um, can we please keep it a little more "g" rated for the kiddos? My son has a bubble and I was showing him the thread because this one has made an amazing recovery. I'd prefer to not have to explain or discuss it being called a "good point" coral please.

What smartori?
If the fish store took the coral out of the water, this will cause the water inside the bubbles to release deflating the coral. Handling is important as this coral should either be made to expel water while in the tank or kept under water while bagging and unbagging. Looks like it will be fine IMO.

so medical terminology is inapproprite? nice. whatever...................
All you darth lovers are children yourselves. Go start your own club somewhere. That way you can talk beer, and farts, and guns all you want.
Why do you have to get so sarcastic when you don't agree with someone.....if someone feels something is inappropriate and it is within reason...then YES, it should be removed

then go back and delete the entire post made by my wife as it now has been deemed inaproprate.
Its not that the sarcasm isnt warrented. Last I checked this was an adult board and you have to be 13 to create an account. I gave my daughter permission to post on this board and I am well aware what gets posted. I keep her out of the aquarium for a reason.
At somepoint smartorl, you will have to tell your son what a testicle is.

First, I took a deep breath.
You have no right to tell me what I need to do with my child. Period. He is well aware of what a testicle is, we live on a ranch. It is a fact of life.
However, your "testicle" coral comments had no relevance to the post. This was someone, a newcomer, with a question about their possibly sick coral. If you and wifey want to have your little joke on your thread, hats off to you both.
Frankly, I see nothing, testicle like about a bubble coral and don't really see the need to yuck it up everytime a bubble coral is shown. Talk about immature.
Also having no relevance to the post was your attack on me personally. You don't know me. Your little name calling and posturing has gotten a little old with me and is perhaps the reason I took more offense to your post than if someone who didn't have a stick up their butt posted it.
As far as Darth. I don't really know him, as I usually avoid the political threads, I don't have much contact but I did find his little tag lines amusing over the years. He was a part of the "village" around here for a long time. Love him, hate him, it's irrelevant, he was a fixture and will be missed.

You know I asked respectfully. I was not rude. This is a new poster, they aren't into the little jokes. I was respectfully also asking because I thought it was unneccesary. Simple. No one has to agree with me.
I was showing the thread to my son and I didn't find the comment relevant to the thread at all. He is looking at a Bubble Coral thread and the next thing I know he wants to know why it's a testicle coral. Had I known this thread would go from informative to elementary school bathroom humor, I may have been prepared. But then again, I can walk through the produce section at the grocery without giggling at the cucumbers.
There is a time and place for everything. Am I maybe a little jaded, I am, I have found the name calling that took place recently to be across the line. So many I wouldn't have been so offended had it been someone else, I openly admit that. I also know had it been on the thread of someone who was used to the forum banter it wouldn't have come across as so distasteful to me.
I immediately saw red at being told what to do with my child. It wasn't funny to me at all.
Your sarcastic pm to me is yet another rude unneccesary commentary on your lack of manners.
It is a forum, people will disagree on how to do things, and their point of view.
I apologize very sincerely to the original poster that this is what their thread has become. I was very interested and excited at seeing that coral recoup.

Well, let me apologize. My husband was making a reference to a post I had made about our bubble coral a while back in the Aquarium section. I put it there because it was an off topic type of thing and figured it was okay there. He has a unique sense of humor and doesn't realize that not everyone thinks the same things are funny the way he does. So sorry this thread got off track. While I don't think his original comment was really offensive, it should not have blown up the way it did.

I never saw the post about this argument. But anyway, Smartol, I thank you for the apology. I agree this whole thing went off topic when this has nothing to do with me asking for help about my Bubble Coral lol. As I always say **** happens.
Back to my Bubble Coral. Today it seems like more bubbles formed but they are smaller in size then yesterday. That was when I woke up. I noticed some algae buildup on my glass, so I went to clean it and I noticed my Coral looked worse
. So what I plan to do is tomorrow I will clean the algae as best as I can ALL over my tank (even the back glass behind the rock where it's a pain) and perhaps a water change just in case. Would that be a good idea? or is there something else I should do?

Got a new picture of the coral. Most often people rush to fix "something" but they are not sure what to fix and end up making things worse. Letting this coral stabilize to the new environment without too many changes may be the best thing to do here. Still, would like to see a new picture.

I would imagine you used a magnet to clean the algea off the glass yes? When I use mine, and go along the front, the vibrations + the extra current bother our bubble coral. After all the algea settles, no more floating bits, the bubble returns to normal. I doubt you did anything to harm your coral. Just keep in mind that they are sensitive critters.
Like when I feed my tank the plankton, the bubble noticies right away and starts deflating the bubbles and out come the feeder tentacles. Whats even cooler is when we feed it mysis. The whole thing kind of colapses in on itself to ensure it gets that mysis. My skunk shrimp has tried several times to get the mysis out of the bubble, but he doesnt like the stings he receives.

I actually have a scraper/sponge. I think I REALLY should get the magnet because I have to take my light off to clean the glass, which is a real pain. .. Will take a pic right now.
