The Koji is growing. I do notice a huge response from sunlight through the window. I'll put her on the right side of the Miracle.

The mushrooms from Hell...I found a rogue on the opposite side of the tank. First time that's happened.

I personally do not understand them nor speak their language. I have a small frag plug with maybe 3 to 4 green mushrooms. These lads seem to really want light and stretch if they are not getting it. Back to not understanding them because similar to your post I found one in a darker area of my tank. No idea how it got there and it isn't the same bright green and I have no other mushrooms in the tank.

At a loss but will see how this plays out I guess.

I guess I just never had any candles handy at the right time. :(

My 4 have different personalities and get on ok, the semi planned 8 x 3 x 2 is aimed at tangs and angels, I love watching them go about their business not just waiting to be fed! ;)

Stefan C: "Skylar has these little bumps on her (Skylar is a female husky).
Me: "She's a girl dog, just think about that. "
Stefan looks at me puzzled as Alexia Bladen is laughing. Stefan Bladen said "Just think of a cow but smaller. " After that, it clicked with Stefan.
A conversation we had last night. @najer I swear this was because of you.

Hey, can anyone explain to me WHY butterfly fish are recommended for established tanks only?

So you'll have established coral to nip ;)

Many butterflies are finicky eaters. It always helps to have a good population of live food (pods) for them to graze on and hopefully you can get them to eat frozen food eventually. I have never had one eat flakes or pellets. Many are also more sensitive to water quality. Almost all of them will nip at various corals in your tank, even Copperbands. They like aiptasia, tube worms, clams, and some LPS.
