Are you sure 1-3 cm? That's pretty big, although amphipods do come in that size. Again (hate to repeat myself), a pic would help.
Hard to know without a pic..... Could be copepods, or could be something worse. My advice - if you have a QT, use it for this coral until you can...
Doesn't look like a carnation (thankfully). Looks like a leather coral that is not extended. I stand by what I said before - just give it some time.
Pics would be good...
Yeah, either it's growing or it is just taking time to get used to your tank. Most leathers are extremely hardy and don't die so easily. When I...
Yeah, they are probably disoriented because they are no longer in the place they knew. This is actually one of the times the fish are the most...
Sorry it has come to this....join me in my boat. Treat with copper for 3 weeks minimum (the average lifecycle of the parasite is 21 days). Set up...
Neat idea! How long do you leave it on?

How do you effectively feed sun polyps? Mine are constantly retracted and hardly ever show any yellow (got them 2 weeks ago). I have tried to spot...

Thanks! Compliments are always appreciated ;) But I wish someone would give me some advice on the acro.....anyone??
Bump. Any other ideas?
Sorry to hear it. It was a beautiful fish. I just lost my longnose hawkfish the same way.....makes an argument for lids.
Welcome aboard!
Hi all. I have been having a problem with my blue-tipped acro lately. I notice tissue sloughing in some areas (some areas are bare of polyps), and...
Thanks for posting that TOTM, Dr Frag. Drooling in progress....8)
Not exactly. The deeper the tank, the further away the bottom of the tank is from the source of light. Remember that intensity of light decreases...
