Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

She will do great.

Mine seems stuffed after the hermit feeding .

To everyone wondering, he ate the hermit and the shell only had the back end of the hermit.

Note to self, there might be a limit to pellet feeding.

And then spit the shell out like an owl pellet. That is WILD!
 
@living_tribunal get some reef blizzard and coralamino acid
You soak the reef blizzard in the coralamino and let sit 5 min then dose the tank like the red sea stuff.

Does it contain anything different?

Red Sea has a huge array of both aminos and carbs. If it has other nutrition utilized by coral, I could be interested.

Also, what’s reef blizzard?

I’m kind of starting to use powder food less and less in favor of pellets.

The corals love them and they give them a huge meal.

I’ve had noticed a pretty noticeable impact on growth since starting pellets.
 
Rhodactis or yuma?
Im assuming Ricordea Yuma, that’s what the green one beside it is and they have similar characteristics. At least to someone blind like me ;)

already starting to split, and has 2 mouths, which is interesting. The green one was much larger before it split. But also suffered through some much less favorable tank conditions.

Yuma’s are slow growers, Rhodactis are fast, so I guess I’ll find out soon!

That thing is gonna grow, nice pick up. I also got an orange yuma a few weeks ago.

It's a powder formula, that can be used in conjunction with brightwells different acids and liquid coral food.
Very similar to the red sea, no refig needed but still mix A+B.

Do you have a pic of yours? I didn’t even ask what it was at the LFS, just saw it, assumed it was a Yuma, and immediately knew it was coming home with me. I moved the green one several times, it’s in a low flow, low PAR spot and just absolutely thrives...I figured right next door was the best possible spot for Donald. (Because he’s orange!)

I don’t think I have a good one. If the polyps or whatever the round things are are bulbish and pronounced then it’s yuma.

They seem to be proportional to my green yuma, but it’s so tiny (like half the diameter of the frag plug) that it’s hard to tell. But the polyps are really close together, on rhodactis they appear further apart and more uniformly radiating out from the center.

Oh we definitely both have a Yuma. I want to get another color or 2 and have a mushroom garden, it’s one of my favorite corals. I especially love the way they handle sand! Some kind of mushroom wizard osmosis happens and the sand will just phase right through their tissue.

Mushrooms are sweet. I got to add a beautiful blue disco today to the display.

I think I’m ready to invest in a jawbreaker and/or eclectus
