The Duncan seems to be growing a new head already looks very healthy will try and get a photo over the weekend.

One of the dead heads on the torch seems to have a working mouth on it frequently see it with a small white fan popping in and out

My toadstool seems to be growing v fast will add a picture of that not sure if its the one I was after but we will see

Seffie is right, Trumpet and Candy Cane are the same coral, Caulastrea.

In fact bubble can be seen better on post furthur up but marked on this one

TigerIssey · Jul 8, 2009

It is bubble algae, otherwise known as Valonia. You can pick it out by hand but to do so you must not burst the bubbles as this releases more algal spores into your tank.

There is one biological control that you can use, an Emerald Crab, I have one myself, they eat other types of algae aswell including short hair algae, will eat any food missed by the fish and are generally a good addition. Quite a few of us have one.

Thanks TigerIssey I have 1 Emarald crab (Mithrax?) in there al ready would a second one be ok to help with the load as I still have a bit of inherited hair algae?

Many Thanks

No just keep 1. He will find it eventually and it will not spread with him in there.

Morri · Jul 11, 2009

Added a few more frags my sun coral not to keen to open up during daylight but getting mysis under blues.

My favia frag mail order not sure but think this one is still sulking but can see white mouth sweepers from most the heads

My GSP doing very well spreading already

Could nt resist the red zoa

My frogspawn also mail order but doing very well.

And a quick FTS added a bit of base rock for better coral placement hopefully picking up a pair of percs next weekend will only be adding a few mushrooms and a acan to this tank

I really like that little cave at the front

TigerIssey · Jul 11, 2009

Did you by any chance get the favia and frogspawn from Mail order corals??

If you did, I had been watching that frogspawn on ebay ready to bid, it suddenly ended before the due end time.

Morri · Jul 12, 2009

I bought it direct from the website direct http

/www.mailordercorals.com but think they were advertised on ebay.

Yep they advertise them on ebay, but if someone buys from the website, the listing on ebay ends.

They no longer have any on the website either.

Knew I should have ordered the two I wanted last weekend.
