Caught one of mine munching on a Acan yesterday. Assumed he was eating algae around it but the acan sure looks too angry for that today. Im startig to believe thats why theyve been my nemesis coral for so long.

Jeez guys, give hermits a break, they are just going about their business, the corals get used to it ime! ;)

Hermit crabs are the devil! I mean, look at these guys. Cant you see the evil thought brewing in their little heads?

While the tank is really looking like it is coming together, not all has been sunshine and rainbows. The sunset mille started to suffer from some STN from the base up.

I removed it from where it was glued, cut two new booger frags and glued them onto seperate frag plugs. So far, it looks like they are ok but I wouldn't be surprised if I were to lose them. Acros despise me.

Also, purple star/clove polyp things... any ideas on eradication? Manual removal, fenbendazole, dry out and cure the rock, just throw that rock away(lol)...? I want them gone.

I have an idea to encrust that large rock with some different montis. I have the monti cap that I've been completely calling by the wrong name. Its a Starburst cap, not a Sunset cap. Red/pink/orange with small yellow polyps. Its looking like mine will be more of a pinkish color under my Kessils. We'll see tho I've only had it a week. I want some WWC Cherry Tree undata and Tubs stellata. Problem is I need that infestation of soft coral gone.

I'm leaning the fenbendazole route of polyp removal. I'd have to remove all my cuc, that I just put in the tank, and the sympodium, if I want to keep it.

Thoughts?
