SRC Member y_sweebeng Posted August 26, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 26, 2003 IMO dying sponge. why u say dying ,do they need strong light/current? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Coz I can see whitish patches appearing. The whitish patches usually indicate dead sponge tissue. Look at the water output channels. If you can see membrane-like structures being 'blown out' it means the sponge is filtering water and is still alive. If not...chances are that it is dying/dead.

Achilles Tang Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 They need regular feedings of live or frozen phytoplankton to survive. I don't think that is a photosynthetic sponge so you can put it away from light to prevent cyano from growing on it. Moderate current is good.

Moderate current is good. i actually discover them today under my LR,n now i overturn the LR so that they r on top now,so should i put them back in original position or put them straight up?

FuEl Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 It does'nt matter if they get light or no light. It is totally up to you. Just make sure they get enough food.
