She is correct, no longer allowed!!!! I was thinking 3 or 4 coral, she loaded up the box like a kid in the candy store ;Facepalm

Better pics later but these are ok.. Corals are still upset because of the dip but starting to open up.

And for us Shroom lovers.. bouncy bouncy bouncy

Yup .. you've got the bug.

@F i s h y what is this one called? We just keep calling it blueberry!

We call it blueberries here also. It is known as Milka stylophora.

unless you were asking for a trade name... I'm an idiot xD ;Clown

Lol, no, you are not! I was asking him specifically because he's the one who gave it to us, and you are absolutely correct!

I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Been a min since I updated my own thread.
lots going on in the Frag QT and everything else looks to be running ok at the moment.

Have some questions;

First; what the heck is this?? Sponge or Alga? Feels kinda solid compared to GHA.

Second; Have some sort of transparent bubble sitting right at the top of the skeleton of my Scoly.
Do I need to scrap it off or should I leave it alone? Not a great pic but its near the back of the frag qt and cant get in close enough for a better one.

The white stuff looks like algae, it doesn't have any of the determining features of a sponge (ie, pores). I'll ask my algae nut friend about it. The white thing on the scoly almost looks like a tunicate, but the pic isn't clear enough for a solid ID. I have seen LPS bounce from the base like this, not sure of the cause. My bet is a tunicate.

Thx, Will have to get Mrs. Dief to get better pics and see. She loves homework :p

Bubble on scoly:

 

[TDiefRN]

I was trying to get a good pic of the goni as it was looking nice but I noticed white tips...normal?

Then I realized it was stretching towards Frank's leather and moved it...I think it's mad:

 

[Mr_Knightley]

White stuff in the cube sump:

Huh, the strands look hollow in these pics! I guess it must be a sort of sponge. Looking at how it grows, I'll assume that's the case. If y'all have extra, I'll gladly take some off your hands!

Bubble on scoly:

It almost looks like a secondary polyp forming! I can see some orange pigments building up in it, but more importantly it has a central 'thing' that looks like an oral disc! Keep us updated on it, especially if it changes!
