hard to tell from your picture, are they possibly flatworms? they can do a number on a hammer and presumably other corals and are pretty hard to see on the corals themselves.

good luck with the rescue mission :encouragement:

number one looks like it could be an acanthastrea or micromussa and for number 4 i wouldn't rule out echinata either.

i've lost a dusky jawfish before sorry to say he went kind of like that. lived in his lair for years and then stopped coming out. i think he may have attempted to move at some point but after that i never saw him again. my yellowhead i lost in a prolonged power outage. died while i was out...

anything in the tank that could be bullying it? i have a tomini tang that was cool with every other fish in the tank but he didn't like the pearly jawfish or sand sifting goby at all.

nerite snail eggs. i have them in the one tank i have with nerites too. they don't hatch either, idk why.

are you just covering them with the paste? or targeting the mouth? i've been trying to pierce and inject with e hypodermic needle and a concentrated kalk solution, with some success, i think. its tricky to tell if i have pierced them though, as they shrink up on contact with the needle and...

i have some in 08034. i can glue it some on plugs or a tiles or two, you you can just take a sheet or strands if you like. full disclosure though, i have vermetids and there is some aptasia showing up in spots now too.

or nassarius

i just hit a half dozen or so with a hypodermic needle and a kalk slurry yesterday. will report back. not sure it will work or if i even pierced every one before i injected the solution. i think used a quarter teaspoon of calcium hydroxide and about 50 ml of ro/di.

i've kept a few species including pearly or yellowheaded jawfish. my personal all time favorite fish was dusky jawfish. cryptically patterned and not as brave as pearly in my experience. he spent the day with just his head poking out of his lair waiting for food to go by and would duck down...

the white lines/strings on the glass? i don't think those are vermetids. the ones i've had are all more of a goldenish brown. and there is more of a coil shape at the base where the snail lives and retreats too. that looks more like feather duster worms, but probably too long and thing to be...

not sure if anyone else was looking for these hard to find pumps, but i checked brs at random today, like i do a few times a week and the website showed some in stock. i did sign up for the "notify me when in stock" but did not get an email, but that didn't stop me from ordering a couple...

not sure how i missed this earlier, but thanks for the generous offer. just a little too far to make it easy enough to borrow and return.

haven't found any yet and thanks very much for the tip. tenafly is going to be a bit too far for me, as i'm down in cherry hill. i'm also not in a huge hurry. just got the tank up last week and have a pair of jbj oceanstreams in there now, but i will want to replace them when i can get my hands...
