I seem to be having a bit of tissue loss on a few acans but nothing else...time to check the water I suppose ...grumble

 

[joshbbert]

I'm loving this monti cap and this one has these dark accents on it and the polyps on it are super red not like a normal green cap not sure what it is

 

[joshbbert]

Im still having tissue loss on my scans I figure it has to be a pest since some scans are growing and fine and even the ones losing tissue are still taking food fully open and happy so im confused. Noticed it on my stunner today as well, growth on one side encrusting to rock and a little tissue loss on the other side. This does not please me

 

[joshbbert]

The morning view tissue loss seems to have stopped with a few big water changes

 

[joshbbert]

I think the pom pom crab is going to have more babies =) i got a full moon coming tonight and shes about to burst! hope i can catch it
