    This is a pick when I got home 10 min ago, small power head directly in from for 24 hrs now. Does this look like its recuperating?

    Whoa! Now, that's what I'm talking about!

    Looks like a happy critter to me!

    Thanks for the update.

    P.S., Send all parties involved a frag when you get around to it. ;D

    Update**

    I will get a pic up soon hopefully tomorrow. I re arranged some of my rock work to make more room for the nepthea. I looked at the stalk of the coral and there were 4-5 serpant starfish inside of it. I have 100's of these in my tank. I hope they were eating the dead flesh out from where it was receding? The nepthea itself looks good (better than what it was for sure) and I hope it's coming back. Although its still only 1/6 of the size it was when I bought it; but, half of the stem did fall apart. Any comments on the serpants? good or bad?

    macon77 that was a great post, really well laid out.

    I wonder- what other corals do you have (if any) that are near the sick nepth?

    never mind- I see a scroll coral and a frogspawn- the frogspawn could be a problem.

    Yes I thought so too; even though they never touched I moved the frogspawn to the corner and it's getting it's pink tips back. Must have been getting bleached from the mh. Of everything I read before I started the build everyone said go with the 250 because the 150 would be too weak.

    na the stars are fine, until they get really big- like over 1 foot.

    well these guys can send out nasty tenticles at night to reinforce their space, and thus insure their area. they can be as agressive as 12 inches from center.
