Re: do you prefer root tabs or liquid ferts?
Root tabs all the way. I've got a 55 gallon with swords, crypts, and vals. Tabs made everything take off. Liquids are great for the stems and floaters, but the root feeders need that extra punch.

Re: need a quick id
I'm not convinced it's a Eunice worm. Could it be a type of Cucumber instead? I'm no expert, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
I found this link that shows something similar - http/images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...t%3D72%26um%3D1. Not an exact match, but it's worth a look.

Re: Gonipora spawning observations
I think my Flowerpot Gonipora might be expelling waste instead of forming eggs, maybe those tiny buds at the center of each head are just a sign of it getting rid of stuff. Anyone else ever see something like this?

I've got three gonioporas - a pastel pink/purple, a deep red, and a bright green. The green one's the oldest, been with me about a year. Six months ago, the red one started to retract, had some RTN which I managed to stop by blowing off the bad tissue. It stayed closed up for about four months. Then ...

Re: Can someone identify these two?
Honestly, I'm stumped on the little guy, but that big fellow looks like a Barracuda to me - the teeth and size seem about right.

Re: Feeding trumpet coral
I've had some luck with a coral feeder from Kent Marine. I cut the end off and bent the tip at a 45-degree angle by dipping it in boiling water. This lets me get the food right where I need it and hold it in place until the coral takes it. For my Trumpet coral, I've found live black worms or white ...

Re: Optimal iron and manganese dosing for goniopora
I actually read the instructions and now I'm wondering if I've been underdosing the whole time.
