Re: Troubleshooting orange euphyllia

Orange Euphyllias seem to be on the delicate side, I've noticed a big difference in growth rate compared to my greens and purples - the oranges grow much slower. I'm thinking of adding T5s to see if I can promote better growth, currently they're all under custom LED fixtures. They're holding well ...

Re: Fish stressing torch corals

My personal experience with Magnificents is they're notorious nippers - they'll mow down anything in their path. I've got one that's recently started nipping on a welso and it's getting the boot this weekend. The last one I had took out a large frogspawn, so I'm done with them. No more Foxfaces for ...

Re: need a name for my fish

they're not just rumors, tangs really do need more swimming room than most other fish their size or they'll get stressed, my main concern is the bioload of a fish that can grow up to a foot

Re: need a name for my fish

I think I got it backwards, the Blue Tangs are actually the bigger ones, they can grow up to 1 foot, while the Yellow Tangs usually stay smaller, around 6 inches.

Re: need a name for my fish

Just stick with the blue, honestly your tank's a bit too cramped for the yellow anyway

Re: need a name for my fish

Honestly, I think you're gonna be pushing it with a tang in a 75, personally I wouldn't do it, but for the damsel, how about Onyx, sounds fitting for a little troublemaker.

Re: Is my purple neon orange-tipped hammer coral doomed?

Honestly, that pic is really unclear to me. It almost looks like it's deteriorating or something. I'd be on the lookout for slime, any brownish stuff forming. If I were you, I'd take it out and give it a sniff - if it smells rotten, that's a bad sign. What I can make out doesn't look good.

Re: Is my purple neon orange-tipped hammer coral doomed?

Looks like a wall hammer to me. Not exactly known for their high success rates. You mentioned you've had it for 4 months, right? The flow's been a concern for me. I checked the pic and it seems like there's hardly any flow around it - those tentacles are just hanging down. I'd recommend trying a ...
