Looks like star polyps. Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing: It's the purple mat on the bottom left of the rock. Correct?
Surface area. The DT is usually larger, therefore you can cool your system much more easily by blowing it across the DT's surface.
I have to agree. This would be a simple (and cheap) solution. It may not be the problem, but it sure is an easy one to try.
Best light to grow Cheato is 6500k daylight spiral compact fluorescent. Anywhere from 13w to 26w. Use a clip on aluminum fixture (about $8 at Lowes...
Good
Looks like a pineapple sponge.
Do you run GFO? I had a problem with green cyano growing aggressively on my sand bed and the GFO stopped it in it's tracks.
Does the 1st one start from a stalk and then widen out into what looks like a fan shape? If so, it could be Mermaid's Fan. Here's a link with a pic:...
Looks like maybe Radioactive Dragon Eyes. Whatever it is it's a nice size frag. Congrats!
I would go with 4 Koralia Evolutions. 2 750s and 2 1050s (one of each on each side). That would give you 40x tank turnover rate. Not too much for...

Your Magnesium should be about 3.25 times the level of your Calcium. So, I would not start adding Calcium until I had the Mag level at at least...
Always bring up the Magnesium first. Once you have it at the right level than you can go after ALK and Calcium. Without enough Magnesium, you can not...
