Have this mini-colony to let go at $40 about 3”x 4” in size. Getting too big for my scape & not getting enough light on its undersides. collection at Buona Vista area. PM if keen

Very nice pics! Can I know what is the yellow acro at the top of the pic?

looking for the above, PM if available thanks

Looks like stomatella snails where they have a small flat shell that covers only half of their bodies reef-safe, not harmful to tank

Up

If anyone letting go please PM me, thanks prefer to deal at the west

Need to clear space, get both bottles for $10 only

Both 1L bottles for $15

Hi, items are available again. Pls PM if keen, thanks

acans, blastos, duncan, gorgonian, hammers, are some softies & LPS that you can consider. There are a whole bunch of encrusting LPS too. its always a good practice to keep clearance between the different species of corals; whilst they may not visibly release tentacles to fight, having them too near to each other can induce some chemical warfare which is not ideal hope this helps! & also welcome to the hobby!

Sorry to hear what you are going through. It’s always tough to watch the tissue slough away. FWIW, sounds like your acros are not bleaching(which happens when there is too much light), but actually going through STN/RTN. If you close up on the white areas & cannot see anymore tissue or polyps then it’s likely you are looking at the skeleton. hard to determine the causes, KH looks a little on the high side though. There’s some nutrients, so they may not be starving. The unknown is how stable are these parameters? Were these colonies all added at one shot? Maturity takes time too. Adding more flow was a good idea to help with circulation & hopefully the stronger specimens will tide through. Make sure the flow is not directly pointing at the corals. Meanwhile, would propose running some carbon & doing more water changes. If you have a lot of colonies & many of them are RTN/STNing, there’s a risk of a nutrient spike which is not going to help. Best to check that the new water has similar parameters to your tank water to prevent more instability. Try to siphon out as much dinos as you can - with the current imbalance, dinos are opportunistic & seem to have taken hold. So either removing them or adding competition such as macros will help. Fragging the colonies to save the healthy tissue is a 50/50, some won’t make it, some may provided tank conditions allow so. hang in there & hope this helps

Up, $2 to clear

Best if multi-branch for aesthetic purposes Pls PM if available, thanks

Hi what water volume can this one hold? Is it the Aquaclear50?

Wouldn’t attempt to scrap it off. The tried & tested method is to use a razor blade to make an incision on the mat(do not slice the polyp), then use bone cutter to cut the frag plug at the same datum. With an iodine dip, they are usually open within a day or two

Paly for $5, up

Looks like a mushroom coral

Up for the paly

Really glad to know that crisis was averted! Totally agree that it’s important to have some buddies to help attend to matters when one is overseas.. for some weird reason, equipment tends to fail when we are travelling. I was on a work trip to Europe too when upon reaching home, discovered that one of my wavemakers stopped working. Thankfully was ‘in time’ to replace it & prevent casualties! It can be a stressful hobby

Oh that, have seen those hitchhike on live rock before

It’s a type of red macroalgae. Suggest you use tweezers to remove them as once they spread on your rock work they are a pain to remove. Very tough & hard texture with deep roots

Up for paly. Some FOC chaeto to give away too
