Re: care and feeding of the coral beauty
I'd recommend getting a Feeding Clip and feeding Nori sheets, they're readily available at your local fish store.

Re: Random thoughts and ideas
I recently picked up a copy of Clownfishes in the Aquarium by Gregory B. Skomal from Zorchzon. If you're seriously interested in Clownfish, this little book's a real gem. Hardcover, and you can get it new from other sellers for as low as £2.99 plus postage. It covers all you've asked about and more ...

Re: Torch coral vs montipora coral
I'd probably trim the monti, see how it goes, and move it if needed. I've got a soft spot for my euphyllia, so even though they can be a bit aggressive, they get priority when it comes to placement.

Re: Elegance coral importation
I recently came across a really nice elegance coral, but I decided not to buy it due to the concerns I had about their health. If I see another one in the future, I wanted to know if it's worth taking the chance, and I appreciate the feedback from everyone.

Re: Elegance coral importation
Sounds like the infection risk has decreased significantly, making it a more viable option to consider purchasing an elegance coral now.

Re: Elegance coral importation
I'm aware that buying any coral is a gamble, but I was wondering if the odds have improved for elegance corals specifically. I recall that in the past, they were extremely difficult to keep alive for more than a couple of years. Has the disease that plagued them been eradicated or brought under ...

Elegance coral importation
I was talking to a really knowledgeable guy about elegance corals and he mentioned that it's not as hard to find healthy ones as it used to be. I remember reading about a disease that was wiping them out, but all the posts I've seen about that issue are pretty old. If I were to see a healthy ...

Re: Acanthophyllia care and troubleshooting
Params look good to me, I'd still test your alk just to be safe. Don't think your params are 'too good', that's a pretty rare issue in our tanks. I mean, it's possible, but it's a stretch. Lighting is what I'd focus on - what type are you using? Your flow seems fine, but it's worth taking a closer ...

Re: Heliofungia care and maintenance
I've got a large piece of plate rock that, if I moved it over, would put the helio in the shade. Alternatively, I could try placing it in the back of the tank, but that would put it close to a small frogspawn - which is a risk, since I've heard helios rarely recover from stings if they make contact.
