    Need help, coral dying?

    No I would say to just let them adjust. No sense in shocking them again especially if this new setup is to be their norm. Seems you did the right thing in attempting to match PAR, and if all else is the same you just need to ride it out. In the future I would try to lower Phosphates a bit...

    Need help, coral dying?

    So you changed the lights and halved the phosphates in two days? They’re probably just sensitive to the changes and unhappy. Can’t speak to the white spots on the goldmeister. Haven’t seen that before.

    Looks like it, yes. Although, the turf algae I’ve encountered pulls off pretty easily.

    Very low alk…

    I use liquid for convenience, and out of fear of changing over. I have limited space so it’s nice to just dose it straight out of a 500ml bottle. Very expensive though.

    Very low alk…

    More coral, but also as your corals are growing more successfully it will continue to require more. That’s the difficulty with AFR and how expensive it is; starts out not so bad and then before you know it you are dosing 2x as much as you started with. (I am up to 18ml/day AFR for a 45 gallon)...

    How big is your tank and what is your current daily doseage of AFR?

    @Turkeysammich Can you pass one to me in Barcode as well. or, @SutterM78 you can do it directly as well since technically all of these came directly from you.

    Please help this Scoly

    I was wondering that too. First step would be to figure out if that’s just a clump stuck in there, or if your Scoly is now donut shaped. Hoping for the former, my next step would be to take the Scoly out and manually remove the bubble algae which is certainly irritating it. You could do a kfc...

    Yes, I just dug one up. Put a tiny dent in my cutters as well.

    Every once in a while I come across a purple frag plug. No idea what the brand is but those are impossible to cut.

    Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 11/14/24)

    CB Bowser - bonus Bella Donna - probably wouldn’t qualify Miami Vice - probably wouldn’t qualify Yodas - Josh made a previous decision not to add these to the list. I would be in support of a revisit. All the other ones I already have on the list I posted. I’ll also reiterate that the final...

    Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 11/14/24)

    For AOI’s, I think those are a coral where if they lasted into the regular rounds many people would be more than happy to get AOI’s. I don’t think they are prevalent enough to merit removal. There has not been a flooding of them like we saw with the Halle Berry, Magicians, etc. @B the Nano...

    Too bad there isn’t a little Asterina visible in front of the small one. Starfish inception.

    Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 11/14/24)

    I think last time’s list definitely needed some tweaks. We got much closer with the list this time. It’s a constant work in progress. The biggest struggle, I think, is figuring out how to properly populate the list without going overboard and being overwhelming. If something isn’t on the list...

    Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 11/14/24)

    I agree with @JVU in that we should not make the list hyperreactive from swap to swap. I think that the general market and overall coral rarity should take priority, with local availability, a consideration. For example, there was an over abundance of White Zombie Zoas last swap due to them...

    Those anemones may be the same. When certain corals and anemones shrink they are more condensed and look brighter. You notice this especially with corals like torches and acans. This could be what’s happening here. The mushrooms you got on the left are not tequila sunrise. If it has white...
