One of the worst parts was flushing it. I was honestly scared it would get stuck, since it's so rigid, and I would have to explain to the wife why an orange leg was poking out of the bowl. Especially when I sent her this a few days ago.

Its really annoying, I've got an 8" brittle and a serpent about the same size. They've been doing fine for months. I guess it was just the luck of the draw. Similar to my clam It's unfortunate, but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has had problems with stars.

What percentage is everyone finding works best with their Steve's kits? I've got the extreme SPS full spectrum kit @ 80% for all channels and am keeping a sebae and Rbta at the sandbed of a 30" deep tank. I'm finding my zoos at the bottom are bleaching while the ones mid-level are fine.

It did for a day. Woke up and it was dead. The only thing I can think is that my peppermint shrimp beat it to death.

Rip starfish

Back to normal.

It looks like that one is propping up. Mine is literally wrapped in a ball at the bottom. I'll see what happens, looks like it won't last long, but hopefully I'm wrong.

Ok, thanks. Guess ill keep an eye on it for a few more days and pull it if things go further south. Funny thing is that I any seem to find any info on this balling up behavior anywhere.

It keeps curling up into a ball. The peppermint shrimp pick at it a little bit. Is it ok? Or is it dying.

Please forgive the random ridiculous words, my phone has an autocorrect disability :).

That does make more sense, the polyp color is nearly a teal blue on top of the greenish/purplish base. I'll have to see if they're arranged in rows tomorrow. I agree, some of the names are confusing. Can't tell you how many times I'll Santander in a LFS and google the names written on their...

Thanks!

Acropora, not scriptoria. Stupid autocorrect.

Just want to make sure I've got the ID's correct. Could really use some help on the last two though. Scriptoria samoensis I think Hodags montipora ORA tortuosa And two that I'm unsure of. They were gifts.

From what I've read so far, when they bleach out like that you have to feed the pretty heavily. It allows the nem to recover since they can't process light for food.

Been a while since I updated this. Over the past month or two I've lost a few pieces of coral. Nothing that isn't easily fixed though. Should have know that going into busy season I wouldn't have a lot of time to focus on maintenance. I did just pick up a new addition though, sebae nem! So...

Holy he** that thing is huge!!!!

It's got a clarkii hosting. Just barely bigger than the fish. Saltfan, I'll trade you whenever you want! Thins thing stays one size. Haha.

My rbta has been in the system for around 5 months now. It's not growing. I feed this thing three times a week, and it consistently shriveled up like it's starving. Tentacles are short and stubby. Color, however, is phenomenal and it bubbles frequently. Honestly I'm really confused. One day...
