    so the past three days, my green slimer has been sliming up a whole lot... I feel like this should be telling me something might be astray in my tnak but not sure? is this normal for them to do or should i be concerned?

    I have noticed that mine will do that as well on occasion. It is a very hardy coral so I wouldnt really worry about. I love mine. It might be the fastest growing sps I have kept to date.

    its near a monti digi, except the monti digi is "upstream" from the bali. no matter how the flow goes, it passes the monti first. Did your bali slime every day?

    The only time mine slimes is if something disturbs it like I touch it. Maybe a fish is touching it/scratching themselves on it?

    yeppers. Unfortinatelly they are no longer with me. I didnt do my research on them like I should have. I kept them perfectly for about 4 months, then all of the sudden they just stopped eating, one at a time and that was all she wrote.

    I bought a purple anthias that was wounded. Something took a gash out of it and I felt sorry for it and bought it at a discount.. Just wanted to see if I could nurse it back to health but it never came out of the rocks. Certainly an amazing fish and probably my favorite anthias.
