    Best PAR, Best look without actinics...??

    i think my 10k xms without actinics make corals pop just fine. I do prefer white light though. It of course doesnt exaggerate the colors like blue bulbs, but the true color is there. if your corals look brown under 12 k reeflux, you might want to invest your efforts into the excess nutrients...

    Hitchhiker ID?

    cant tell from the pic, but from your description it is a harmless filter feeder. a mollusc or bivalve of some sort next time you want you want to spend overnight trying to get smething out of your rock, instead of killing the majority if not all of the beneficial bacteria in your rock by...

    Anyone have success with porites and Xmas Tree worms?

    i feed my sps tanks nothing but the fish get fed lots, and have a couple of different christmas tree rocks thriving. I did kill a couple of christmas tree rocks when I tried to keep them under pc's in the past

    how much rock

    I think less rock is more. that old rule of needing 1.5 lbs per gallon is hooey If you seriously can even fit 2 pounds of rock per gallon in your tank you have one of a couple things going on here. 1. It is dense garbage rock and/or 2. It is stacked WAY too tightly together to even...

    Hairy mushrooms

    They will glue...but its kind of brutal...you need to take a bunch of q-tips and keep rubbing the slime off until it doesnt slime anymore...the goal being you want the glue to burn and stick to flesh...not slime. AFter rubbing the slime off, stick the shroom in a glob of glue and leave it on...

    How big will it get?

    Ive seen them as big as nearly 2" across. Make sure what you have is indeed a emerald and not just a look alike. Look at the tips of the claws......good crabs will have disks at the tips, for grabbing algae, instead of sharp jagged things for grabbing meat.

    Huge zoo colonies......

    If the rock easily splits that makes this an easy task and no remounting necessary. Like already said, take an exacto knife and cut in between the polyps to the size you would like each frag...then take the screwdriver and hammer and split the rock in between. You may have a few casualties...

    Acro I.D.

    Yeah, they are defitnely cool looking. I recently killed both of my colonies along with everything else but just added a couple frags smaller than yours. As far as how fast they grow....medium IME

    Acro I.D.

    looks like a efflorescens to me. As well as one thats true colors are not even showing. You will have fun watching it grow and color up. :) no biggie...but a little suggestion.......I would take it off of that plug and glue it flat. It will start to grow out much faster for you than if...
