I am new to the world of corals and it is entirely fascinating... The rock that my yellow polyp colony came on is getting crowded. While most look like they grow right out of the rock (not sure if they do or not), a few near the edge have grown little "feet" and appear to be peeling off and...

New pic!

This lounge is looking a little weak as of late. Anybody interested in helping me make a database of coral suitable for nano tanks? If so, let me know. Maybe the mods can make it a sticky and it will help out any future nano-reefers on this site.

Hello everyone - I'm pretty new to this hobby. This is my first tank of any sort, set up May 24, 2007 - but I've spent a lot of time researching and planning it. It is a 150 gallon acryllic 60x24x24 with a 6" DSB. 65 gallon refugium with chaeto. Running an ASM-G3 skimmer, an 8 bulb Tek T5...

Hi, I have been reading post about how people have cut back their feeding schedules to three days a week. I would like to cut back, but I am not sure how much to cut back. I currently have four fish(2 clowns, 1 pygmy Angel, and 1 sixline wrasse). Three are omivore and one is carnivorous. I...

I have a few medium sized pieces of LR with a ton of yellow button polyps that I want to get rid of. I figure for a piece of the LR plus the yellow polyps $20.00 each. There are about 18 to 25 polyp's per rock and I have 2 of them that I want to get rid of. Here is a link to a few pictures of my...

I am having a problem with hair algae, but only on the small rock that has my yellow button polyps on it. No where else in the tank. My Yellow Tang appears to not have any interest in eating the algae around the polyps, although he has eaten it from other places when I had it. Also, the...

After reading so much about aiptasia and majanos on the board I am a bit paranoid. We just got some new LR and it has these on it: The pictures aren't great, so a little description. They are a brownish yellow with bright yellow mouths. Are these the dreaded anenomes or just some lovely...

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July holiday--just love those long weekends... OK, I purchased a small/medium sized piece of lr w/about 30-35 tiny yellow button polyps on it...is there any special feeding that needs to happen with this? I purchased a bottle of "Snow" a few weeks back...
