Sorry... what we saw was something that looked like smoke in the water.... it was hardly visible except against the dark lr behind it...

This evening we noticed something coming out of the mouth of many polyps on our Goniopora stokesi. Has anyone else noticed this or might know what it may be?

Skip, Thanks for the info! A question though, are Reef Bugs a supplement for the tank or a target feeding solution? Deuce11705

Quick update... the flowerpot coral seems to be coming out of it's temperamental stage. Its polyps are starting to open back up. I thought I had noticed some bleaching on the perimeter of the coral, but once it opened up, the bleaching seemed to go away. Not sure what all of that was about yet...

Three days ago we purchased a Goni sp. (Flowerpot) from the LFS. It seems to be somewhat tempermental-opening for a while and then closing. Today it has opened very little. Another thing that kind of freaked us out is that, also today, part of our Anthelia sp. has "shrank" and turned a purplish...

Hey Wettank, Did you buy a retro fit kit to get that kind of wattage, or were you able to buy lamps for the hood that came with the Eclipse set up ? Thanks...

Thanks for the link, nickleslik! I think that's exactly what we're looking for. We build cabinets and furniture for a living, so I'm sure building a hood for our tank won't be a problem at all. Actually, we were thinking of making hoods and stands for tanks, so who knows. Anyway, thanks again!

There are also little hairs? all over it except for the end of the branches. The hair is similar to velvet on deer antlers.

Yes, all the branches come together. It's formed like a little tree with a main trunk and branches extending outward. The texture is smooth. Though it does appear to have very, very tiny pores. It is a soft, yet firm, specimen.

Thanks for the heads up that they are amphipods!! I did some research on them on reefkeeper.com and found out that the kind we have are a variety of gammaridean. It stated that most of the types found in aquaria are herbivores or detrivores, but there are some which are carnivores. It showed a...

Here are a few more pics. Hopefully they are of better quality. BTW, what is RC?

Hey guys! Last night I decided to take a look at my tank with the lights off using a flashlight. It was interesting. I noticed one end of my LR was covered in what looked to be like fleas. They have 2 large antennae (sp?) and 2 small antennae. At first I thought they were shrimp because they...

One more thing, which makes me unsure if that is what it is, is that LiveAquaria stated that the branches are flat and blade-like, but the pic doesn't look that way, and the coral that I have has round branches, not flat. Thanks again!

I have been doing some looking around for different corals to maybe one day add to my tank, when I came across a pic of something that looks like what I have. It is a Green Lace Gorgonian. Could this be what I have? I found the pic on the LiveAquaria site thru Drs. Foster & Smith.

I'm in NC, near Topsail Island...
