Hey all I just thought that I would give everybody a heads up. I went in FS&M to buy a bucket of salt today. I decided to take a peek at the acros while i was there. Low and behold their frag trey was COVERED with red bugs. I confronted the salesperson, and he said that he was reluctant to...

Green Horn Coral (hydnophora) getting white tips...advice? We've had this frag only a couple of weeks, and I had originally put it near the top 1/4 of the tank under 175W MH/VHO actinics. Just today I noticed the white tips. I moved it down about 1/4 from the bottom of the tank, still under...

What are the signs of rapid tissue recession? I lost my bubble coral last weekend:( Now, my green open brain only has a small piece of tissue on him:( I dont understand what is going on? It keeps getting sand kicked on him too ...... Would it help to move him to the back of the tank of the...

My favorite SPS a acropora of some kind (purple polyps and fast growing) has been ravaged this last week. I first noticed a white patch minus its polyps with a limpet I thought was the culprit close at hand. I was told I should move the coral and blow it down vigorously with a turkey baster as...
