Who Gives A Fish Forums

You'll notice that when there are so many babies on one skeleton, they start to become misshaped and fuse together as they grow. It's not yet feasible to try dislodging them, given their current size. However, as they get larger and start competing for space, you can test some of the bigger ones to ...

I've had a similar experience with my Symphyllia, it was initially just a small larval settlement on a rock with some morphs, took a good 18 months to grow large enough for a proper ID. Since then, it's been moved multiple times through various tanks and has consistently thrived, I'd definitely ...

That torch pic you mentioned, it's clear the skeleton's been damaged, probably by a magnet cleaner. Gravity will eventually take its toll on the small piece, slowly tearing it away with some tissue.

What you're describing, though, sounds like a tentacle tip - those can get ripped off by pumps or ...

What's your take on this? I've always been under the ...

The sign said Clown Face something, I forgot the rest, but this little guy was a riot. He was hiding ...

I finally figured it out. It's a panther grouper, and the store called it a clown faced grouper. That little guy was hilarious, I'm telling you.
