No - not that I could see. Some little floaties, but, I suspect that was just algae/detritus.

Okay, so we dipped the frag for 15 minutes in RODI, and used a toothpick to carefully scrape off all the feather dusters (just to be safe). I 3d-printed a little frag holder to move it up on the wall and away from any trouble-making hermit crabs (in the off chance the crabs are causing an...

I hope so! This was my favorite colony (probably 4 dozen heads, and just completely covering the plug). And now it's nearly gone. I'll cross my fingers the RODI dip does the trick. And, I'll probably use a toothpick to smash up some of those feather dusters just to be sure. It's just so...

Okay - so, good to know that the crazy-high-density of these feather dusters isn't the cause, but just a... coincidence. I love that idea of doing a freshwater dip. I'll take some RODI water, temp-match it, and drop these boogers in for 15 minutes. If it helps stop the colony decline, then...

Hey folks, Last fall brought a beautiful zoa colony into our (15 gal) tank that did well for months, and then took a sharp turn for the worse a few months back. I just moved this colony from it's spot in the tank to a little isolation tank (since I was worried that maybe a hermit crab was...

Oh that's a good reminder about the chalice - you can kinda see how we wedged it into the back-right corner where there isn't anything else. Maybe we'll lift it up higher (onto the arm pointing out to the right) so it's totally isolated. I was just worried about it shading things out once it...

Oh dang! Okay, we'll pop that off tomorrow and scoot it down to the bottom! We were going to do a little bit of rearranging of some of the hammers, so we'll do both at the same time!

Hello everyone! We (myself + 11 year old tank-owner) are a little less than 3 months into our first tank journey. It has been an amazing experience so far - especially after coming to CMC and meeting with members of the club. Even though the tank is little and young, it's still so much fun to...

Thank you so much @derek_SR for the frags and advice!

Okay! I’ll be happy too if you think us non-pros can keep it alive!

We are very new with our tank (only had it a few months and just getting started), but I would love a little piece of the Chalice if you still have one available. I (tall guy) will be there with the reef-tanks owner (11 year old boy) around lunchtime!
