    nothing yet, my bubble is not doing so good after the first feeding, and my birdsnest for some reason looks bleached but only at the very tips of the branches, so i dont know whats up with that. So far my brain and zoas are doing really good. Of course im still very new to coral, only experience with corals have been for 2 months now

    I'm no expert on SPS corals but doesn't white tips mean growth.

    yep, white tips is usually associated with growth, not bleaching.

    ohhhh ok, good to know :D what if i have black branches? i noticed at the very base of the birdsnest its black instead of orange. I thought maybe they had fragged those pieces as i think this was a mother coral with how big it is.

    Sorry to highjack for a quick sec :)

    Finger leathers for me. Although I have one now that seems to be doing quite well. I really don't want to jinx it though:-/

    Yellow polyps die in my tank. Mushrooms and green clove polyps just hang on without growing .

    My zoas, brains, frogspawn, toadstool, colt and all my SPS do great. I also have Xenia that has to be regularly trimmed to prevent it from taking over the tank.
