So then, that would be a "yes" on regeneration? Will I hurt the clam if I take a little bit of its' shell off?

Very nice. :) You may want to isolate the Kenya tree so that it doesn't take over the tank. Just my 2 cents.

Very nice. :) Some day... BTW, what kind of conditions does it like?

Thanks Gresham. I thought Vermetids might broadcast spawn. Do you know if they can regenerate?

Thanks for the tip Wil. I was thinking B soda would work too since I use that in my tank too. I have calcium, so maybe I'll experiment and see which one works better. :)

I'll try, but the aiptasia and vermetids hang out under the mantle overhang. I'll try to get the clam to close and take a few pics. I didn't realize how large the vermetids had gotten because I couldn't see their tubes under the open mantle.

Anthony, My Bangaii are in this tank with the clam. If the food gets stuck on a Vermetid line, they won't eat it. The line must have some nastiness to it that repels other animals. Anyway, the two I got are doing ok. The big one sometimes pick on the little one, but not terribly. Both are...

Would it be too dangerous to use a dremmel to cut off the pocillipora skeleton?

This is such a great idea! :) :D

Anthony, do they just regrow somewhere else? I was wondering how they multiplied. I had one large one once, and now I have lots all over the tank. Thank goodness they are contained to only one small tank. I find their webbing unsightly and they steal food from the corals and fish. BTW, how...

Oops, sorry I didn't catch this months ago. :~ Let me know if you are still interested. I put many into the swap, but I can make a frag for you if you'd like. :)

Great looking set-up Mario! :D Looking forward to it's progression.

Yup, I did in the past, they just came back. Guess I'll have to keep scraping, but it makes me nervous to take the clam out of the water. :~

Arnold, the Poci is starting to branch out, and the Vermetids are large and putting out nets everywhere. Could I kill the aiptasia with baking soda paste?

Would be cool if you could take pictures! :)

Vermetid worms, aiptasia, and corals (mushrooms and pocillipora) are growing on my clam. I have tried scraping them off in the past, but they just grow back. I was wondering if I could remove the clam from the water and paint on a baking soda solution to kill all the unwanted hitch hikers, or if...

Yeah!!!!!! :bigsmile:

Wow, you have been through some tough times. I'm glad that you are on the mend. BTW, I love your pictures. :) I am hoping to get a tank buddies thread started, but was hoping to get it its own home so people wouldn't have to scour the boards to find it. Hopefully in the near future, we will...

Looks great Norm! I knew you would take good care of it. :D BTW, it is a nice contrast to the turf algaes dark emerald green. :)

brick red with lavender frosting? And of course you are the coolest for offering this frag. LOL :bigsmile: (Really though, we are ALL COOL! :D ) BTW, I'm not in the running for the frag. Another day perhaps. :)
