So everything in my tank is looking good except the two small frags of ROAB Digi. I don't think they're going to make it. Honestly though, I fragged the small colony because it was getting overrun by Aiptasia in the 125 and wasn't looking good to begin with.

He's still not the happiest coral in the world but the Hairy Mushroom that got stung by the Hollywood Stunner is still alive and kicking.

I tried really hard not to expose the sponge to air. We'll see if it survives the move.

Always, the Minions Blastos wasn't looking good. Hopefully it does better over here.

My one and only Blasto. Recently survived getting its perch disturbed by the cat(she likes messing with the magnets holding the frag holders)

I have 1 of those Blastos as well but it's pretty much a goner. The Black Encrusting Sponge is not held back by Blasto lack of defense unfortunately.

Air only and maybe only kills ornamental sponge. You'd need to let that liver sponge dry out before it died. I've had all kinds of ball, pineaple, liver sponges exposed to air during tank transfers, rip cleans whatever... and they remained

Manual removal will be needed.

Im reading things wrong, got 2 kids fighting over attention.

It'll die from lack of nutrition before air exposure. I'll hunt down a pic of a sponge i tried to murder with air. It was growing like mad and in combat with my old bubble tip. Sponge was winning. Peroxide had to be used.

My mistake. Should have kept it and let the bta move out

Mine was growing great in the 125. We'll see how it does over here.

White encrusting sponge. Exposed to air 5 -10 minutes. Multiple times.

The really pretty sponge seem to die easier. Like one i had on the torch who passed as well. Sometimes, i want to just quit.

I had a greyish tan sponge that sent out fingers more than balling up or encrusting. It came in on a torch and when the torch died, I pulled the skeleton out and the sponge practically disintegrated in 30 seconds. It was crazy how fast it died.
