we should be mindful of using chemical additives to solve tank water chemistry problems cos' what we put into our tank may indirectly affect its chemistry & possibly the biological balance in the long run. Juz my thoughts...

this is one of the hardest angels that will not survive or do well in captivity & should best be left in the ocean !

patience...patience...try to tempt the fish with some seaweeds or frozen mysis.

my experience with brown jelly is to remove the infected head/heads asap before it starts to spread. Unfortunately, there is no known cure. Here is some suggested solution: Excerpts from REEFSHOW.COM...http://reefshow.com/html/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=60#Brown Jelly Brown Jelly Brown Jelly is a bacterial infection composed of opportunistic protozoans and other microorganisms digesting coral tissue. Brown Jelly usually begins at the site of an injury. Brown Jelly can be noticed by what look like brown filaments, or brown/brownish, somewhat transparent masses floating over and above a coral, usually enjoining the polyps of the coral into the mass. This infection can progress rapidly. It can spread through out a system or just infect one coral. Do not mistake a Brown Jelly infection for algae growing "on" the coral when it first starts. If you notice even a small amount of brownish matter hovering close to a coral polyp you should immediately inspect and treat the coral or the polyps will rapidly disintegrate and more than likly infect other corals as the pathogen is sent streaming throughout your system. The location of the infection is not important, it can occur on the sides, ridges, middle or in just about any other area of the coral. Bubble Coral, Goniopora, Elegance coral, Frogspawn and other Euphyllia corals, Xenia and Anthellia are some of the corals highly susceptible to this pathogen. Treatment For Brown Jelly a) GENTLY Siphon as much as the Jelly Mass as Possible Remove infected coral and treat with an Iodine Solution like Lugols Solution. c) make sure that your corals have adequate flow. Not laminar, but multi-directional and random d) Skim, Poly pads, Activated Carbon are recommended e) 25% water change. f) check parameters

yeah man...their cloves are certainly fantastico !!! And not forgettin' the very yellowish green star polyps !!!

yeah I agree mate & be prepared to spend more $$$ in future cos' I was told that they will bring in more 'exotic' gems in future...those that are destined for US/European markets...hee hee hee Alas sweet dreams are made of these...!!! Aiyoh, look at those super-sized blue mushies...yum yum

where is this LFS located ???

Well I too have my fair share of 'misadventures' with $yumas$... 1.) Yumas that eventually got stuck onto coral chips initially but somehow got 'blown' off by water current & disappeared. 2.) Yumas got eaten by hairy reef crab. 3.) Yumas 'melted'. All my $$$ spent on yumas juz 'flew away'... So be prepared !!!

wah u mean u have 'neglected' the maintenance of ya skimmer since day one ? ...u can try using a long milk bottle steel brush to clean the inside of the skimmer neck...guarantee will work !

Mmmm...sure but I think we may 'cheong' the wrong 'clam' leh...

Wah...so many types of damsels...soon ya tank gonna be WWFF ...as they are territorial, aggressive & have nasty behavoir.

HARLEQUIN, LCK110, I AQUARIUM (Pasir Ris), WAKAI WAKAI...
