Be careful, as much as they look amazing (one of the best looking in my opinion) almost all heliofungia are wild and do really poorly in captivity. I've seen very few people able to keep them longer than 6 months.So I had to run some errands and was going by the lfs so I dropped off my water to sanity check it for me just so somebody else would check it other than myself. And OMG I have some phosphates.
I haven't been dosing anything the last 4 or 5 days either. I also took the water sample about 20 minutes after I had fed. So I wonder if I am just having phosphates but I'm just using it in consumption and maybe when I was dosing it was raising them too much.
Mg was lower than I expected but that's no problem. I'll bring it up a little bit. But the really neat thing is they had a long tentacle plate coral on display that I had never seen this thing was probably a foot in diameter and had probably 12-in tentacles. I was like do you have any of these for sale and they have one that is about 3 in in diameter currently that's a long tentacle. I'll be going back to get it tomorrow I think.
