Shocked by its abundance... I proceeded to Plan B... freshwater dip for 5 mins <_< I think those brown thingy are flatworms :cry2: The worm-like creatures are actually red algae removed in the process of dipping and shaking :blink:

If not wrong, not advisable to FW Montipora as they might not survive... I am not sure too as i heard it from another reefer though...

Emm... I read it from some US forums and some of them did FW with good success... I think it will survive... since I've removed most of the tissue eating nudis :pirate:

My latest fish... I think I will stop adding anymore fish for the time being... I might need to fire up a Denitrator soon as the amount of fish has risen significantly for the past 2 weeks :huh:

hmm <_<

goldfleck is not reef safe :(

Well most publications will label it as "with caution"... but Goldflake has one of the lowest tendency to peck corals among large size Angels... that's why I dare to take the risk really... worst come to worst... I will have to remove all my meaty corals from my tank :unsure:

sps will discharge slimy substances when stress?

will other lps do the same?

Yupe... most SPS I believe... it's part of their defence system... some LPS does that too for example Cup Corals and Leathers... even F. Ricordia can slime real bad <_<

Read from an article... SPS polyps feed constantly throughout the day... not once every 2 days... therefore I am now feeding my corals automatically 24 times a day (1 hour intervals)... still under experiment :)

the yellow muddy solution is the food?

Yeah... it's actually Reef Roid mixed with distilled water... actually they are floating particles (very fine) circulated by an air pump inside this Aquamedic Brine Shrimp hatcher :lol:

This piece of Acropora (?) is growing very well... and very compact... definitely requires sufficient current flow :)
