  1. Name That Coral!!

    I got a few frags the yesterday and wanted to post some pics! Also I said a question on my last blog about this new bright green thin algae only growing on my dry rock I put in my tank. It doesn't grow on the live rock though. I had brown algae for a few weeks and then it went away. (still have a bit on substrate) What do y'all think about the algae? Is it normal for the maturing of dry rock?

    OK, see if y'all can name these corals!!!

  2. Frag question!

    I bought some frags yesterday and I have a few questions:

    1) the frags thatare on them pegs that you push into the sand-if I want to mount them on a rock, how would I remove that little "tit" that you push in the sand?

    2) I have that 2-part putty, it really doesn't hold to good I think. What do y'all think? Should I just use super glue gel, are use both?

    3) I have a frag no on the frag peg, do I just mount it on a rock? Any advice?

  3. How to keep Manderin Fish?

    Hi, I recently tried keeping my first Mandarin Fish. I had plenty of tiny creatures in my sump, assumed to be copopods, and added corals on live rocks weekly to keep the copopod population high. Initially, I thought he would adapt to my aquarium well, he regularly nibbled at rocks and substrate. After a few weeks, he went missing for a few days, and when I located him he was terribly skinny and weak. He died. Do you have advice on keeping Mandarins? Would cultivation and addition of phytoplankton ...

  4. POD Eating my Palys!!!

    So recently My palys skirts have been looking really bad, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. I looked for Sundials, Zoa Spiders, Nudi, Nudi eggs and couldn't find anything! Well tonight while I was checking on Livestock while lights were out I saw the biggest pod ever! And he was munching on the skirt of these palys! Which is sort of a relief to me, since I know its not any of the other pests, but how do I kill this Monster! I have some CoralRX coming in soon, maybe I'll give it ...

  5. Rip to my reef tank explanation!!!

    For all of those who read my previous blog sorry, I guess I didnt explained my self well. What happened with my tank? Well I was in a job training and my wife wanted to get another dog. Well me knowing how my kids are I said no. Not that Im being mean or anything. it is because three times I bought a dog and had to give it away because no one takes care of it. Thats not fair to the animal. If i wanted the reponsability, I buy one.Thats why I had a reef tank because it is something I take care off. ...
