Hi: Need some advice on this...coral

size 1cm,

is this a good or bad coral...

How to remove it :ph34r:

look like some sort of paly. If its a paly, it is poisonous, dont break it, the poison it release is quite potent. Dont let it enter ur bloodstream tru any open wounds. You can leave it, but it grows fairly fast, and may overtake ur rock.

These are AIPTASIA! They are pest anemone, rid them ASAP before they overwhelm your tank. Check out the below links for more info:

With my many personal battles with them - now I will remove the entire rock whenever I see them! Scary little fellas!

aiptasia meh? looks more like palys. anyway, u can should just remove all. if its palys, just take scissors and cut it off at the base. carenot not to et it come in contact with ur skin/eyes. POISONOUS! sometimes can squirt water. careful ur eyes. if its aiptasia, cut no use. will grow back/ suggest u use either peppermint shrimps, or copperband butterflyfish to eat it. Best is to use biological control, to eat the aiptasia. No choice then use chemicals.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
