Thanks Mike It was one of those $10 frags I took a chance on at the swap . Its really starting to get hairy and color up . In person the dark polyps have a red tint to them , I hope they continue to get more red to them.

I just had a feeling this was going to end up here .

I picked this up at the frag swap . Can anyone id it for me . I used my mad crazy photoshop skillz to black out the background ;D .Thanks

You guys are good,dead on id's.lmao

I also have them in my tank and have been told they are no threat . I have not seen them do anything wrong yet so I have let them be . A harlequen shrimp will get rid of them real fast,along with every other starfish in your tank . And then like reflections said you will have to supplement there...

Steve, That looks real close to whats sitting in my tank. Colors are the same ,maybe the growth pattern will be different . I think you should give me a frag to place next to mine for comparison . ;D

Congrats , I had a Fawn Boxer,best dogs in the world(biased opinion ) .

Wendy, If this grows as quickly as other birdsnest I should be able to get a frag for you soon, if you can wait that long . ;D

Whenever I have a fish go MIA I check to see if my hermit crabs/scavengers are around . If there all out of site I assume they are eating the missing fish/critter and this usually is true . I'm not saying they killed it ,there just doing there job . If the fish/critter is missing and...

When I recently removed some fish from my system catching them was no fun at all . I thought I could do it without moving rock and found out real fast that was impossible . I moved some rock to one side of the tank and then used eggcrate to block off the other part . After chasing the fish into...

They are very beautiful fish (look at the photo in AO thread) but I also cant see myself paying $ 350-400 for a pair . Clowns in my tank also have a tendance to skydive and could not imagine finding one on the floor. I guess its a buyers preference and the demand justifies the price on them . I...

I had starboard in my first setup and liked it alot . I bought mine from eBay . It also protects the bottom glass in case of any accidents . You could always go mirror ,lol,just kidding but I wonder what it would look like and it sure will reflect lights.

Like mentioned be very careful when removing your sand bed . A little at a time will take much longer and be more work but will greatly reduce the risk of releasing sulfer/nitrates . I would use a wet dry vac like I do for my water changes . Reduce the size of its intake hose with decreasing...

I second the importance of taking it slow and reading as much as possible . If your local library is short on reef books they can order just about any book you wish . It usually takes a few days for another library to ship it to them . Its a great way to keep busy while waiting for the tank to...

Here it is opened up more. Ill get a good photo in the morning . It is more green based and polyps are purple. Any Opinions ??

I cant say what affect it will have on your system but any metals are bad. Can you get one of those mechanic magnets. The little ones on the telescoping rod(like an antenna) and probe around the area . I believe they are magnetic and should be the only thing to stick to it. Just make sure it is...

Just picked up the new ORA Bird of Paradise from Will over at Aquatic Obsessions . I will post more pictures when it fully opens . I just happened ::) to be there when Fed Ex arrived . He also received a beautiful pair of Grade "A" Picassos clowns, along with a bunch of ora frags and fish ...

I'm in Old Bridge and had the lights flicker but thankfully they did not go out . I think its time to invest in a generator .

Our prayers are with you and your family .

Steve what lens are you using on those close ups, thanks paul
