Oi! If it is brown in colour, there is a good chance that it has zooxanthellae, and loves light, if the tenticals are white, then it is a good chance that it is 'feeder' like pwj1286 said and loves food. Cheers! nigle !~!

Oi! Close, but my point was that most reefers seem to think as it looks like you do too, that when the ammonia and nitrite are gone [after as you said a few months] that it is time to start adding things. I wish you agreeded with the diatoms, cyno and start up algae, because that was my point...

Oi! I have been reading "The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium" series of books and I came across an idea in the first volume [I recommend that everyone have all in this series not just volume 2] that has put into perspective something that I have seen in all the on-line reefing communities for...

Oi! Well to answer you, I had about 25 colonys Black/orange/pink and others I don't know how to describe, mostly gone now due to a 4 day electrical poweroutage, killed a lot of others too but it was a real shame with the Tubastera. It has come back somewhat as polyps all over the rocks in...

Oi! Well if my comments seemed harsh, then I'm sorry about that, ChrisRD sent to me a PM stating that comments were a bit over the top and to calm it down a bit and to that I'm sorry that my comments were taken like that, I didn't intend them to be like that, but that is the difficulty with...

Oi! Oh heavens, now that IS interesting, if it ain't one thing it's another, HA! I don't know if xenia actually 'changes' from one 'kind' to another, but it will change shape due to conditions like many soft corals will do from tank to tank. I have bought softies that looked great in the LFS...

Oi! Odd that you mentioned a blue sponge, of all the sponges we can get in our tanks, the blues are actually the most toxic of sponges that are considered toxic. In Dr. R. Schmiks new book 'reef inverterbrates', although when I talk with him at IMAC this year I have many many questions about...

Oi! Yes ctgretzky99 to use my words it is stupid, so that is why I stated it like that. Yes I know that this is in no way RC so RC comments need not be used. As for the CSBM, stupid IS the correct word for it, no ifs ands or buts about it, it's just stupid, sloppy and in no way any kind of a...

Oi! Well I don't know what happened, but I didn't want it to post 4 times! Maybe 4.4 times, HA! Cheers! nigle !~!

Oi! Yes you are correct 4.4, and I'm so ammused by reefers that talk about their 0 nitrates, [when if they were actually 0 nothing would be alive to create nitrates, but that is another jag for another time] or 10 or 20 when the test kits they are using is not testing for “total nitrate”...

Oi! Well I didn't think of that, that could be it I guess. Cheers! nigle !~!

Oi! Xenia is tricky, some have it like weeds, some have it like weeds and then they die off in a day, some can't keep it to save their lives, and then they get another and it lives for years....... xenia is tricky. As for the 'yellow' that's new to me! Xenia doesn't like change, if you try to...
