    I stopped by my LFS today and saw a nice mushroom frag with quite a few hitch hikers on it. Could I get an ID since the inexperienced crew was working tonight and couldn't tell me what it was.

    There is also a very small black mushroom with red and orange spots, too small to photograph. :eek:

    Are you talking about the Ricordia Yuma in the pic? I see a few things, but the yuma stands out quite a bit.

    Yes, thank you. Just curious, what else are you seeing? Got the frag for $15 but there is 1 atipsia (sp?) on it.

    I would recommend removing that feather caulerpa. It can grow rapidly in a tank and become problematic.

    +1 on what curt said, most macro's do not belong in a display tank.

    I am a few days away from finishing my sump / fuge. I was planning on moving the Caulerpa to the Fuge. Will it be problematic there?
