  1. ID Help: Hammer? Torch? Other?

    Thanks Thirty5. Not bleached at all - in fact it iridescent green. Here is another pic under blue LED. You can see the stem that contains three heads.

    The coral to the right of the red zoas. Thank you.
  3. ID Help: Cocoon-like thing?

    Anyone know what this is? And if it should be removed? It's light aqua in color with a circular opening, and contracts when touched. Thanks.

  5. Overnight cap bleaching

    Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it greatly...as I am about as stressed as they are at this point. Any advantage to doing a 20% water change right away? PS. Just did an API Carbonate Hardness (KH) test; result 8 dKH.
  6. Overnight cap bleaching

    Thanks. Going forward, if I am able to increase the alk, will the caps recover? Or are they permanently damaged? Should I leave them in or remove them?

  8. Overnight cap bleaching

    The water change water matched in salinity and temperature. What other water parameters are you asking about? I don't typically measure ph. What should I do now that this has happened?

  12. HELP!! Bizarre crocea clam situation (attached to a snail)

  14. Photography help (LED lighting)

    I just added an LED kit to my tank (thanks Lazibonez) and my zoas and rics look amazing. However, I have no idea how to properly photograph them under the blue only lighting. I have a Canon Powershot SD600. Any feedback/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  15. Ricordea and rubble

    Thanks to all for your suggestions. I've placed it in a small plastic container covered with mesh that is secured with a rubber band. So far, so good. It's been 3 days and it's starting to open up (it was curled up in a little ball). I plan to leave it for at least a week to be safe, maybe more...
