    Not to go on and on forever, but: no.

    Hey Beckmola! How's the tubastrea doing?

    Superglue Gel Underwater?

    I think if you are really worried about them falling over you need to dry off those two rocks and do something more structural. Maybe drill a hole through both and put an acrylic rod through them. Or, build a pvc support and zip tie the rocks to it. Two part epoxy also works much better if you...

    Let's See Some Zoos!

    It's the beginning of this zoo's reproductive cycle. Those are either eggs or brooded larvae (I know, I know) developing. We'll see. Or, I'll miss the release and we won't see....

    Flowerpot and clown

    How long did you have it? The reason I ask is that it may not really be the clown's fault. Goni's in general and the greens in particular have a pretty horrible track record in captivity. I lost one myself. :( I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

    Put some sort of cage (like a strawberry container or something with holes that'll let the water flow through) over the coral until the anemonefish decide to move on to softer pastures.

    Sun coral growth

    Wow! Very cool. Makes me think I need to feed mine more. :) I just went to my local aquarium yesterday and I noticed that they have a tubastrea that I've never seen before. It's much more red than orange. So, now I'm on a quest to see if I can find one.

    Not at all. Keep your eye out for the brooded larvae. They are just gorgeous (see picture on page 1 of this thread).

    I have some. It smells just like brown sugar to me....

    Yeah! Cool, right? Tubastrea brood their larvae and then release them at a much bigger size than most of our corals, so they have a much better chance of surviving. Congratulations!

    Sun coral growth

    I gotcha! Thanks! I found out that the clear thing with the blue spots from the photo above was a sponge recruit. Unfortunately, I also happened to be watching when the brittle star ate it. :( Make me wonder how the baby polyp ever settled. Shrug. It's still doing well. 'Night all!

    Anemone Propagation

    Regarding the heater cage, I would extend it up out of the water. That should keep the anemone out of the cage.

    Anemone Propagation

    You could always drill a bunch of holes in a large piece of pvc and mount the heater in there. Just be sure that water's flowing through there really well so you don't get a weird microclimate where the pvc water's warm and the rest of the tank is freezing.

    So, you've had no problems keeping these corals with your 'horses? Do the corals get the babies?
  18. "Umm fish?"

    Sun coral growth

    Becky-- Do you have the tubastrea in your seahorse tank? The reason I ask is that if you are feeding really high food densities to feed the 'horses, then the polyp is also probably getting tons of food, too. I used to target-feed every polyp on mine, but that got old very fast. Then I made up...

    Thanks! I don't want to highjack the thread, but I just took a couple more pics if anyone's interested. I'll post them as urls so I don't slow anyone down any more than I already have. The polyp seems to be building tissue tonight: http://65.102.221.68/IMG_2742.jpg Can you tell me what the...
  20. "Umm fish?"

    Sun coral growth

    They seem to be very slow growers to me. Mine seem to go through periods of no growth and then they add a few polyps all of a sudden. They have added several new polyps in the last week, but only in areas of pre-existing tissue (i.e., between already existing polyps). Skeleton growth...
