    Did you order them or find them in a LFS?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Still have issues with the GSP?

    Mine likes a decent amount of flow, the coral does not seem to like it when any type of algae like film algae grows on it or any settling of detritus on the mat. I can not kill the stuff, it went 3 months without light or water changes and yet it continues to grow and spread.

    I moved some stuff around last night, and put my GSP up towards the top of the tank in a higher flow area. It seems to back to normal now. I also ran it in front of my power head to clean it off some.

    Thank you for asking. I was going to post that here in a minute anyways, but you beat me to it. :)

    I've tried manually removing it, but it is just right back the next day.

    No CuC as of right now. I was going to get an emerarld crab and some snails this week, but money is to tight. I will hopefully get some on the 15th after payday.
