Re: Growth rates of bowerbankii corals

my iron man acan went from 3 to 10 heads in just 2 months, after nearly 2 years of pretty slow growth.

Re: Identifying torch coral species

That's quite a price tag if you ask me, hefty indeed. If it weren't, I would've definitely grabbed it without hesitation.

Re: Gonipora spawning observations

those aren't eggs, they're actually mini colonies that'll eventually break off and form new ones when the current takes them away in the wild. I've had this happen on mine before - I had two of them grow, popped them off after a bit, and attached them to a frag plug. ended up being some of the ...

Re: information on new blenny...

Lovely little fella. We recently added a pair to our tank, stunning fish - even if they've been busy rearranging the sand.

Re: Reviving a hammer coral colony

I've got one that's currently half open and it's on the mend, just keep at it and it'll likely come back to life, just like mine did.

Re: How quickly can acans become photoinhibited

I'd just tell the maintenance guy myself if I saw him - please don't touch that one coral, I'm pretty sure they'll get the message.

But the angel was a real nuisance, constantly pestering my Anthias and Goby, they'd hardly ever come out of their caves. I ended up swapping it for a Coflake Beauty, which has been a great choice, it's really ...
