    Oh, I know what you mean, Ive seen the pics of yours, I got atleast 40 of those little white ones that seem to just be spreading and spreading, without any dosing.
    While on the subject of target feeding, I also have a torch, and some seem to like to target feed them on occasion. Ever keep one of those? Any wisdom or advice you would like to spread?

    well, im not too familiar with torch corals, but i know that they photosynthesize and need to have a fair amount of distance between neighboring corals, i cant imagine doing much harm feeding every now and then, but i have heard of some people running into trouble overfeeding corals, and im not just talking about water chemistry.

    Cool, thanks Nano. I know I have the lights for it, and its probably at least a good foot and a half away from everything else. This is the first "real" coral I have had, besides for some GSP's and some sort of zoa's that were on some LR since day one, so I'm pretty excited about it. ;D Im still trying to score some shroomz though.

    Drop a small piece of table shrimp into the head about once a week. It'll eat it if it's hungry and drop it for your hermits if it isn't.

    I stir a corner of my sand a little to free up goodies for my filter feeders. When I do my yellow cuke unfurles and the dusters get to moving.
