I agree...Euphyllia sp. are prone to being "injured" by their own skeleton...I've seen clowns hosted in hammer, frogspawns, etc., but if they get too...
Both, LOL! New small heads can branch from the skeleton...the heads can also sometimes split.
Looks like the typical skeletal structure of the branching variety to me. They tend to grow fairly quickly...that one looks pretty small so it may...
Sorry to hear of your loss...sounds like a beautiful fish. Two things come to mind with this. First it seems there are two species being sold in...
Ya, we didn't have AC when we lived up there...hardly ever needed it...were I am now it's been close to or over 100 every day for two weeks...sure...
LOL! Didn't mean to imply you were trying to damage the reef or anything. Just didn't want you to risk having a vacation turn sour over a few...
Very true...I just know FL F&W can be very unforgiving to people who collect sealife with out the proper permits. I would imagine HI is just as...
You really have to be careful...what you may consider a shell or piece of dead coral/rock may have some living critter on it. Honestly, the risk of...
§188-31 Permits to take aquatic life for aquarium purposes. (a) Except as prohibited by law, the department, upon receipt of a written...

Absolutely...I was very careful in my placement so there was a rock between them...figured if they couldn't see each other they wouldn't get into...

I find LTA and BTA to both be good "starter" nems...biggest difference IMO is that BTA's typically prefer to place their foot in a hole or crevice in...
Clams are more forgiving and will tolerate less pristine water, but otherwise they do need many of the same params as SPS...again, with only a couple...
Good point...there are a lot of fish that will nip at clams.
If you are going to have clams in a SW tank it's not a fish only...it's still a reef with very few inverts, LOL! The demand will be lower with so...
There are about 25 or so different sp. of Goni's...some encrust across flat/semi-flat surfaces...some actually grow branches almost like a hammer or...
Some sp. of Goni do very well and others do not. I have one in my own display that is similar in shape to the one in this thread (ie. kind of a ball...
LOL! We get that variety in sometimes and I'm always amazed when they open up...a 2"-3" skeleton can easily yield a 6"-8" animal when they get...
Brown normally means they have just lost their color...happens often when just added to a tank or if the nutrient levels are too high in your...
