    I think you need to just let it sit for awhile. Something is going on in there - let's figure out what it is!

    Can I say, I told you so haha. :cheesy:

    Oh, and I love it..

    You do know that with coral you can throw a lot of them in the tank at once, they arent like fish.. Just trying to push ya along.. Oh, and I am doing some fragging today on some my birdsnest, a small acro frag, and maybe something else if you still want to do our little deal :)

    Haha it's so true!! I wasn't that into corals, but after buying the zoas yesterday, I'm obsessed! I've been staring at them all day. lol And yes, I plan on going to the LFS to get some more tonight!! I'm sticking with easy zoas for now. ;)

    what are you going to get? I cant wait to see it.. polyps were my first and I still have them.. just dont get anything thats going to take over.. Like GSP, they look cool but not after 2 months when they are everywhere and stinging other corals..

    Oh, thanks for letting me know that! I would have bought some probably...

    What would be something hardy and easy?

    Acans, Open Brains, Mushrooms, are pretty easy to start with.

    I'm not a fan of mushrooms really...but I like acans. I'll see if they have some of those. I'm going to my medium-like LFS, because on Sunday (late bday party) I'll be getting a gift card for my favorite LFS. Then I'll go buy more coral!! Anyway, my medium like LFS has a smaller selection...but hopefully they'll have something!

    I dont know why, but I have had the most success with my SPS corals.. I would wait though with your new tank and new rocks.. Any type of polyp other than GSP is great.. My trumpet coral also has been great to me. I wouldnt try a plate coral as I have had the ones I bought die. Open brains are good and fun to feed. Oh, both my pavona and pagoda cup are awesome and dont require anything but light to live, definitely worth a shot..

    Right now I am a big fan of photosynthetic corals. I will check out the pavona and pagoda cup corals and polyps. Thanks for the tips!!

    Very cool zoas kc. Nice bday present;)
    I guess I was wrong about it being GSP but you can't blame me. It's a rock with a purple mat and green polyps lol;D
