I hold my frags with small "multi-purpoose ties" those for electrical jobs. I used rubber bands before but sometimes they cut the frag in two pieces. good luck.

Oops... I know this forum is only for fish and invertebrates And I enjoy it to much, but I have a small problem but this time is not with my corals now it's with my parrot! I've been looking for a good forum about parrots without any success, then I thought if you guys love fish, you love...

Thank you for your advice Chucker but this thread is not the only way that I have to learn, actually that's why I asked for its real name; to find and read all the information that I can find. like I told you before my tunicate is really happy and it's growing a lot and by now I know more about...

Thank you so much guys for your replies. Now I've been reading a lot about it and I think it's a very interesting "sea squirt". I just bought your book "Invertebrates" Julian and I'm waitting for it thank you for your reply; I'm going to save the thread in my hard disk to show it to all...

Hi guys. Like I told you before in this thread I bought my uv sterilizer to cure my blue tang, Ick disappeared and I was affraid to turn it off because personally I don't think you can erradicate Ick from your tank. well, I turned it off three days ago and guess what? ... My Blue tang has Ick...

My coral still fighting... but it's weaker, I add more phytoplankton today and i'm trying to feed him with some brine shrimp but he is refusing the brine shrimp. I think is not a trachyphyllia. It's a lobophyllia, it has not tentacles. Thank you for your replies guys. Now I think it was in the...

Yes I feed him once a week, the last thing that I did.... I change my power compact bulbs last week, maybe it was to much light for it, it is right at the top of my live rock (8 inches away from the light source) by now it is desintegrating and i don't know what to do, maybe it's going to be...

I've just bought a "lollipop coral" ( that's what the guy told me in the fish store when I asked for its name) I got it immediately because in that store you have to "fight" for the corals because they have a lot of customers looking for the best corals. I'm acclimating it right now but i've...

My small coral has three mouths, one of them is open and it has like "acontia" (white spagettilike bodies) coming out. I'm really worry about it, I can even see a part of its skeleton if I looking trough its mouth. Could you help me guys to find out what's going on? Thanks.

Personally... I love my UV sterilizer, I'm not an expert but I had been fighting against Ick for months because you can not eradicate it, unless you threat your whole tank with medication (ne ver do this if you have live rock or invertebrates). Ick has a cycle; it infects a fish and after some...

"Flying fish express" use to sell them, they are pretty expensive, I think this slug feeds on flat worms only, Am I right? . I don't remember their web address but I hope you can find it in any search engine. I hope this can help.

Hi Davelin. A friend has a black tubastrea too! I'm green of envy ( I have a orange one), you have to feed it daily or at least every other day with brine shrimp otherwise it will die sooner or later. you can take frags, you can even take only one polyp out but be careful. My tubestria...

My leather coral (Sarcophyton sp) has been closed this last week, and I think he is not receiving enough light, I have two power compacts in my system ( Actinic and Daylight 65 watts each), this coral is right at the top of my live rock (10 inches far from the light source) . could you tell me...

Thank you, ok, I will wait a couple days.

I bought it 10 days ago the first 7 days it was perfect... I can tell it was growing! the water current is intermittent ( 10 seconds subdued current and 5 seconds strong current). it's a Sarcophyton species, maybe a Sarcophyton glaucum or S.trocheliophorum. it's 8 in tall and 6 in diameter...
