Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

great purchases! great color on the brain. ditch the starfish, I think they are bad news. the black tenticles do look like aptasia. kill it ASAP or it will spread and take over your tank. they are terrible. great anthia as well

Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

congrats on the new corals. the brain is my fav. I don't think the black thing is aiptasia. for one it's black, and it looks too big for aiptasia. It my be some type of sponge.

Nice additions! That mystery piece is glass anemone AKA Aptasia. Try to get rid of it asap. Thats a pest anemone and it can take over the tank easily. You can use aptasia control, Joe's Juice or just touch it, when it hides fill the hole with epoxy.

Great additions Melon.
Heres another method of dealing with aiptasia.Take a good sharp hyperdermic needle,mix up some good strong kalk water,then give the lil devil a shot of kalk.

Re: Melonbob's 46g build!

You can also try with the needle boiling some saltwater from your tank and give it a shot of hot water. If you boil it with kalk better!
