Few weeks ago I noticed something growing over my zoas but they will still extend past what’s growing. Closer look appears to be a sponge.
Can’t get a good picture showing the sponge or what’s growing.

This might be the best photo of the shrimp. Goby will never sift sand and prefers food in the water column.

Looks like the goby was wondering around strangely because he left pistol shrimp in tomini home. During feeding time I saw goby and pistol headed home.

Everyone leaves for the fight. Tang can’t blade goby when in a hole but try. Wish I had video of them going after each other.

I was 3 pages behind, great idea in splitting the GSP. I think I can copy that if you don’t mind.
It is very interesting. I picked at it a little bit. I think it’s smothering some heads but others are growing. Would like to remove the the sponge or whatever but I don’t like olaying with zoas.

Steal away. I like little gsp in a tank.

Nice vid and dug the guitar That hems looking huge
Each anemone is 3-4”.all of they together make it look huge.

I have the same thing happening to some of my Zoas too Don.... Sponge grows all inside them. Well sponge and aiptaisia ;Hilarious ;Hilarious

Please the a word is not allowed here yet.

Do you leave the sponge or remove?
I’m ok with the sponge but don’t want it to chock out the zoa’s if possible

Sunday played with skimmer some more and good so far.
Why so many bubbles in the sump from skimmer?

Frammer did great for a couple months then turned to this. It has been shriveled up for 4 months or more started with two heads grew the third then deflated. Tried different areas of the tank. More/less light and more/less flow.
What could be the problem?

Green Goni decided to Wilt away A few weeks ago. It happened when PO4 jumped to .25 and LNS was added. My guess is the PO4.
Good news the red Goni I almost killed with to much light is doing great.

Its coral keeping... if it was easy we wouldnt do it. Ups and downs, ebs and flows Don. U might just be moving it too much. Some of my corals took months to settle in after I upgraded.

Only tried a few spots and it stayed there for a couple months. Thanks for reminding me to leave it alone
