i believe its alveopora... nice tank u got there...

[keithtanbb]

think I also got one of this hairy little rascal, as a hitch-hiker on my rocks, but cannot seem eot trap him! only active at nite.Please explain what damage he does?

[Mr CRABS]

nice! your tank lookis something like the one in aquamarine..maybe can add yellow tang......or purple

[spawns]

nice...

ur open brain looks stress...try not to place it directly under ur mh....n feed regularly would help too.

IMHO, what ur tank needs are some colors n I can see it has potential.

p/s big hermit just dont fit right in nanos...they are just like "bull dozers with legs"

That is an alveopora. Not an easy coral to keep. Same goes for the gonio.

not very sure what this is...

That is a torch.

Florida or Yuma????

Looks more like a yuma to me, not a ricordia. Nevertheless, they are both from the same family.

I highly suggest you move the sun coral out of direct light. They prefer to be in shadowy or dark places in your tank.

i tink one of the heads from the torch dosent look tt well....maybe u jus cut it off...

REMOVE IT!!!.....total damage....

Actually, i've been noticing a couple of my corals have bit and pieces of tissue dangling off them everytime i check my tank in the morning...i've been trying to understand what went wrong...waited in the dark with torches...wakin up in the middle of the night to see what's goin on in my tank when there's total darkness....for a week or 2 i've been doin that with no avail....Anyway, one day as i was doin my routine midnight spot checks, i saw a pincer!!!...oh damn....n' boy is it hard to see them for long...they'll quickly disappear when they sense light....tried searching him in the day in my 16G!!!....but to no success...2 days went by...and it was now obvious it was him, the devil who ate my red brain coral...HALF of it in 3 days!!!...that's like 10 times his size!!!..Had no choice...removed all my occupants and rocks,search through all the rocks with a torch for more then an hour solid before i spoted his hairy lill' leg....After removin em....my corals started to heal...currently fully healed as shown in the pic....

Seriously, REMOVE it...before one of ur prized pieces get munched up!!
