Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

Since u r going to start a new tank, I prefer to start cleanly, take no risks

that is a bristleworm. Once they get big, they might attack fish and coral so better to remove.

thanks :) i removing most of my LR to sun dry. only left 4 within that has my zoas and anemone stuck onto that i am not drying. Cant wait for tank to arrive...24 hours more muahaha
