Scinaia bengalica or Scinaia huismanii

Looks like, they don't list the sunpod version anymore. The link did work this morning though.

When you changed the water you disturbed the water makeup and any garbage that was suspended will stop the skimmer from producing good foam, hence the reason why you needed to open it up more to get the foam. If you leave the setting wide open there is a good chance that you will fill/overflow...

Generally the frog will become accustom to the clown hosting it. I've even had a clown host a feather duster, now that was odd. I wouldn't get too worried unless you start to see the frog closed up for too long or any tissue recession. If that happens relocate the frog for a bit. The clown will...

The skimmer will collect some bubbles and start to push them out the top. When there is enough foam to do so it will go over the tube and into the cup. If it falls back down the tube that means the foam wasn't 'dry' enough (had a nutrient rich stable membrane for your air setting) to be pushed...

Yep. Just do extra water changes to get rid of the oil and help clean out the die off.

It would be nice to see an RSS feed for the forum. I didn't see it anywhere so I'm guessing one isn't set up. Also, edit your useragent string settings. I tried to surf from a tablet and ya a few of those 'exploit attempts' that your phpBB security had 'stopped' were simply me changing my...

Just keep an eye on the rest of the tank for a bit. The amount is small so nothing may become of it but watch the skimmer and possible ensuing sulphur dioxide from the sodium bisulfate.

I've used vinegar (which is the same principal) on a clients tank and it worked great. I'd frown on using lemon juice as it can actually do harm to your tank by polluting it from possible additives as well as the shear composition. Vinegar, although a weaker acid (acetic), is also found to lower...

No damage, just wanted to point out that there is a very noticeable point in bubbles that will produce skimmate to ones that will overflow your cup. You want the first type that you saw before the total boil started. They will give you stable foam and good skimmate. Understanding this will give...

It could be kinked, the hose is rather long. If you don't have any bubbles with two turns out something's off inside. Even TunzeUSA says they run best around two turns out so if it's not producing many bubbles rip it apart and have a look. It's a bit of a pita to put back together but that's...

It really depends on the crab, some develop a taste for xenia, candy cane, or just about any other coral. Some won't even touch bubble algae where others eat it like mad. It may be an idea to give it a shot but be prepared to snatch it up should your corals start to show signs of snackage.

If there is any room to raise the skimmer then do so but if not don't worry about it. Raising it increases the amount of air you can put into the skimmer without it overflowing, but it's not necessary. You have the air screw out way to far. The bubbles are too turbulent atm to get any good...

Generally these are considered a good part of the CUC. I'd just leave it be (also be sure not to pet it, the hairs are mildly poisonous).

I'd say it's a bristle worm then. Here's another pic to compare; To post pic's you can click on the (without the space after the www) edit, admin's you really should add the no parse BBcode. It makes explaining things easier.
