I will manually remove the xenia then and the mushrooms, but I would rather not mess with the zoas. I'll probably toss the two rocks they are on and replace with some dry rock. Thanks for your advice.

Hello Everyone, sorry I haven't been around much but I have a few questions and am not sure where to turn. When I started in this hobby, the first coral I bought was a Xenia (big mistake). It has gone crazy and covered the rock it came on, plus it detaches and tries to spread. I also have...

And thank you.

They really don't have stalks, I guess I will aim for the center, where all the tentacles converge.

Do I need to actually insert a needle into the mouth. The videos just show them being sprayed with

I have these on a live rock I added recently and fear aptasia, but the photos I see of aptasia show like I trunk with tenticles off the top. These are attached to rock in the middle and only the tentacles are extended off the rock.

I was always interested in having a saltwater tank, and the show Tanked gave me the push to try it. I quickly learned that its not as simple as they show. I just recently lost a couple fish and a coral and that part sucks, but the process of finding out why things happen in the tank will make...

I'm really at a loss, the only thing I have added is 10 turbos to help get the algae under control. The previous times I did the water changes, they did not have problems with it. I have used the same salt, Instant Ocean. I'm trying to finish it up before switching to reef crystals. I let it...

Hello, I have a 75 gallon tank with two clowns and a firefish. When I first started the tank in June, I was on top of the maintenance, but then I got really busy and missed a couple water changes, my corals were doing well, opening up, and retracting every night, and my parameters seemed good...

I have that one too, from amazon. Mine came calibrated, but you put fresh RO/DI water on the lens and I believe it should read zero. Just test it once you get it, they give you instructions on how to calibrate it. The only complaint I have with it is that the part you look through untwists to...

If you get yourself a TDS (Total dissolved solids) meter, you can test how pure the water is that you are producing. I got mine from Bulk Reef Supply here: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/dual-inline-tds-meter-dm-1-hm-digital.html It has a tee that you splice on your water input before the...

The rim broke on my 75 Gallon, and I woke up to a bow front tank because of the water weight pushing out on the glass, I had to use clamps to relive the stress on the glass, it pushed it out about an inch in the front and and inch on the back. I'm sure the water weight will not be as much on a...

Whatever it is some Astrea (12) and Turbo (2) snails have been feasting on it for the last 2 days and have it almost under control.

Hello, I would not build a setup on a second floor that large. I would try and not exceed the weight of a bathtub full of water with someone standing in it, just to be safe and watch out for cantilevers. The posts FishyReef is suggesting for support could be used, but should be placed on a...

will it eventually choke out the xenia, or just fill the rock around it and then stop?

Will the Xenia be ok there too?

They are attached to the rock that the Xenia came on. should I try and remove them to put them in the sand bed on their own piece of rock?

Do you have to feed them anything, or just lighting? I'm assuming they have enough light since they started growing, but hopefully some will start on the rock below them and then I can move the xenia to a new spot. Guess I cannot complain about 2 for 1 corals.

Hello, I purchased a Pulsing Xenia Coral from my Lfs last Saturday, since it has been doing well. Yesterday when doing my inspection and maintenance I found these: They were definitely not there when I bought the coral, well I guess they must have been in some form, I dipped, scrubbed and...

I believe it may look like that because the first two pics show rocks that were the live rock I seeded my dead rock with. They have purple coraline on them with brown over it. There is a spot in the second picture where a snail cleaned off part of the brown and you can see the purple. The third...
