looks like some tissue necrosis---cut the injured piece off and a little bit of extra so you get it all.

[Aquarist007]

I just read through the previous page---is it possible you might have burned it with Joe's Juice?

at any rate it should be removed.

[kudora]

your prob right capn, i have been going after the aiptasia for the last couple of weeks. dont have anything to cut the coral tonight, will go out tomorrow morning to find something to cut it cleanly off.

thx much for the response.

6 bags eh... can't wait to see what you picked up.

[ackerman]

wow 6 bags? Glad i only left with 2 that cost me enough lol

[kudora]

got some quick shots of the new additions, only tried a couple of times per item(usually try 10 times per pic i post but its been a long day).

first up is my new brain coral(bag 1)



next is a so so pic of my new BoP(bag 2)



if you noticed the aiptasia in the last pic i picked up 6 of these guys(bag 3 and 4)
didnt get to clean that side of the tank since he was actually out when the lights were on.

[kudora]

new purple fire fish for the new 30 gallon(bag 5)
also in the pic is a little hifin goby i picked up 6 weeks ago



and i got a diamond goby for the DT but he will reside here for a couple of weeks. (bag 6)

[ackerman]

You definately made a haul. Nice lookin BOP u got urself there to

[kudora]

i forgot that i had ordered it several weeks ago and it was being held for me honestly lol

[Aquarist007]

great stuff kudora

[kudora]

well its pass midnight so i have my first year of owning a SW tank hehe will put togeather some before and after photos tomorrow.

[Tswifty]

Nice stuff.

you'll have to keep me posted on how you like the BoP after it settles in for a few weeks. I'm not a big fan of mine anymore, because it doesn't keep the "stubby polyp" look to it. So I'm currently on the hunt for a few different Ponapes that have those colors, but don't have the elongated polyps.

Oh yeah... Congrats on your 1yr anniversary!

[kudora]

thx, at the LFS it looked almost purple since it had so much PE. i almost didnt recognize it. since i picked it up red planet is next on my list, they had 3 in at the lfs today but i had already set the BoP aside.

some red light pics comming up in a bit

[Tswifty]

I really like the Red Planet... it's just been a painstakingly slow grower for me (all the moving sure hasn't helped the cause though). However, mine has held the green that most people complain about losing. I need to pick up one of Melev's Top Down photo boxes, so I can get some good shots of it.

[kudora]

just not my night for photos, i didnt like any of the 20+ red light photos i took.

here is a pic of my cucumber, this thing is huge








your red planet looks very nice, i hope it keeps it color. i want to pick a couple more frags of sps then start saving up for some equipment for this summer so i am going to be very selective on what i buy over the next couple of months.

[ackerman]

He doesnt have 3 red planets anymore lol. I grabed one of em and he sold the other 2.

i noticed the green birds nest and all the red planets were gone when i went back.

[ackerman]

Ya I picked up the green too. Now i have to try to stay away for a month or so and stop spendin money lol

[kudora]

Is that a tiger-tail cucumber?
I have one in my tank that gets small and hides all day and at night he roams arround cleaning vast amounts of algea(and creating a vast amout of poop) and gets arround 10" when hes not shy.
