Beautiful tank very uniqueI answered No, I'm lucky.
I had a green paly eradicating all other zoas and invading many areas they weren't supposed to... until 1 of my 3 filefish tried them and the other 2 followed him.
I have a huge area at the back filled with BTA's and every week I would have at least 2 or 3 moving to places they shouldn't. Recently I realised that I haven't found a single one out of their island in a very long time.
Once again, the 3 filefish are keeping them in check. They rip their tentacles and if an anemone is isolated, it becomes an easy target. The anemones have been able to sustain their damage in the colony because it's distributed.
What kind of coral is the pinkish one? Need to start learning going to put in coral soon. By the way Really nice tankDefinitely a monti cap....took over everything in its path. Eventually tore down the tank just to get rid of it.
Impressive great colorsKenya Tree Coral! Solution, trim them back, giveaway or sell.
Nope. They are the worst.Dinoflagellates, need I say more
The pink one is the Monti cap....that is the coral that took over and completely covered the rock. The smaller pink/blue encrusting one in the front is a Reverse Superman Monti.....also started to claim the whole left side of the tank lol. I rebooted that tank due to those two coral. They are nice looking and fast growing, but you have to keep them under control, especially when you have limited space like I did.What kind of coral is the pinkish one?

IKR, I would gladly take that stuff.Can't believe people consider out of control xenia, kenya tree and BTAs a bad thing. Any of that stuff is worth a fortune at your LFS, make a deal with them for cash instead of credit.
I have a rock covered in GSP and another one in xenia that I chisel a few chunks off from every few months. These guys don't spread around the tank, so they don't get loose.
I tear kenya tree frags out by the roots, dry them on a towel and super glue them to frag plugs.
Having corals that go wild like that is like having a goose that lays golden eggs, why would you drown it with kalk paste??
What happened to teach you all about palytoxins? This is the main reason I got rid of my zoasA birdsnest that got so big that when I decided to offer it up to my LFS for a little credit, it wouldn't fit in a 5g bucket. A Monti Cap that took over more than 1/2 of my 120DT. I saved a frag from it and keep it trimmed down. A montipora confusa that I "frag" with a hacksaw.
Texas trash (green) palythoas that covered every square inch in a 60 cube. When I tore that tank down I learned all about palytoxin.
Kenya tree branches that ended up everywhere in a 300+g system.
GHA. Need I say anything more???
cyanobacteria
Aiptasia back in the day when they were "cool"
Wait, mushrooms sting?! Or is it more of a chemical warfare? I have many kinds of shrooms and nervous about them overtaking..Red mushrooms.
I cut them off, I filled them with kalk paste, i put 2 part epoxy over them. Every time they came back.
Surprisingly strong sting as well, they won against everything except torches in my tank. Acros, montis, trumpets, hammers, acans. All dead where the mushrooms touched them :mad:
What kind?Zoas colony that will not stopppp spreadingggg got it my first year now I hate them
Do you have to do water changes more often with higher mushroom content? I was told their chemical releases are hard on the water column?Mushrooms, definitely mushrooms.
Once you get to the point where additions are 'expected' to thrive, then selection and discretion becomes much more important!
