    SPS dead ? Or bleached ?

    Acropora showing small spots of skeleton, STN?

    A bit over a month ago I got my first Acropora (booberry) frag and it was doing pretty well in my Nuvo 20 for the first three weeks. Though in the past several days, first noticed Oct 7th, this frag started showing spots of skeleton at the tips of the Corallites. The day before I do recall...

    Large Pink Stylophora coral has slowly developed issue which I assume is a common one. The top branches are growing and stealing light from bottom branches, bottom line issue is the base (or trunk) of it now has almost no light. I have never fragged a acro or stylo coral before perhaps this is...

    Dark / Grey spots on Acropora?

    Hello! So one of my Acropora (SSC), I received with a greyish colored spot and thought it would go away in a few months when it settled in. Now it's been a few months and it has grown in, but the grey spot has grown with it ... Does anyone know what this could be? Is this a permanent thing...

    Advanced Topic What really goes into skeleton building in stony corals?

    Introduction The process of calcification or biomineralization in SPS corals is often a head scratcher for most people, let alone reefing hobbyists. I've always wondered myself what really goes on behind the scene. Through research, I reviewed some research papers in order to help us better...

    Adequate flow

    Hi guys, after I read some threads it's still unclear whether I have enough flow for my acros or not. The problem is: I see no polyps extension at all, all of them are hidden (except one acro). I bought all the frags 5 days ago. Could such behaviour be related to reduced flow in my tank...
