Pretty cool to compare these two months apart.

Guess I’ll keep the photos coming, as things are doing pretty well. I recently was able to add some very nice Acros which I generously received from another member’s tank breakdown. None of what you see here would be possible without BAR. I also recently switched from a small RedSea gyre to a...

Two days ago I accidentally fragged a green slimmer. The white you see below is newly exposed skeleton…. with poyps sticking through! Maybe this is more common that I realize but I’ve never heard of it happening before. I’ve always assumed the flesh needed to grow first.

I’m open to having my folks again depending on when it is.

Did you feed every couple days, or less? And were you doing water changes?

@JVU @SupraSaltyReefer I have a lot of baby brine but don’t want to go overboard. How often can I feed the Aiptasia?

If anyone from the South Bay is picking up I would love to participate.

@SupraSaltyReefer why did you mention bristle worms? Are they bad for Aiptasia, or Berghia?

I would be in. I have a 5 gallon tank dedicated to intentionally growing Aiptasia right now, and they’re not growing as fast as I would have expected. Started feeding live baby brine at @JVU’s suggestion. I’d be interested in what you have and the knowledge.

That's awesome. Looking forward to seeing if they can become as abundant as something like Biota Yellow Tangs

There are so many things that are still not understood about corals, but like most living things, despite their current environment they can be affected by where they came from. Was the one on the left aquacultured while the right came straight from the ocean? Is the one on the left young and...
