125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

[tbrown]

Hey @fishguy242 who wins?

Cyphastrea vs. Pavona vs. Chalice?

Pavona and Cyphastrea are touching, both seem to be gaining, then losing, and staying fairly well where they touch. Pavona is about 1/4" from the Chalice plug. Considering moving the Chalice.

Lepto vs. Porites

- about 1/2" to go. Porites has recently attached to the rock so I have to break the colony to save it. Really considering moving it.

I've got a bunch of stuff in my cart from frozen to dry to carbon. I'm thinking of running 1 on, 1 off with carbon. Wondering if sponges are releasing toxins into the water killing my Acros.

Get an angel
They’ll love the sponge

I really like the flame angel and so does my son but I could never bring myself to take that chance.

I have been looking for a Lamarck's. Found one once...

Needless to say I didn't buy it.

Very interesting. I recently had a weird black sponge that was growing over my acan. It’s on a frag tile so I just took it out of the water and it killed the sponge.

I have one on my Galaxea. Not killing it but it's not letting it grow.

"they will occasionally eat the adult polychaete worm or dine upon sponges. This is not common, however."​

​

So probably not. :(

It's kind of neat looking with the blue and gold tentacles waving peacefully above the black base.

I remember this…

 

[Reeflix]

Imma get a Lamarcks angel sometime hopefully not tbrowns

That article that @HudsonReefer2.0 posted says it's pretty common in Geni angels due to the depths they live at.

Shame, since they are really the only reef safe ones

Watanabe angelfish are supposed to be reef safe as well as swallowtail angels.
