Some new Zoo's - out of focus pic -

It is probably RTN *(rapid tissue necrosis) I usually try and dip them in Revive to see if it helps - but usually I just pull them and toss them when they are finished and I can see they won't come back. It has happened to pieces of mine for no apparent reason at all - and I haven't been able to save one yet From all that I have read and heard about on forums its pretty futile to try and save them, although we all still do - instead of watching an nice piece just wither away

That or were just getting older! lol

That sucks Rik - that was a nice colony too! Same with one of mine - it just decided to RTN and disappear! The other one is doing great though.

I did both after that - thinking something might be off that I couldn't tell by home tests. Everything is looking good otherwise. Thanks for all the ideas.

Thats cool! I am sure you are a Proud Pappa!

The cleaner wrasse is probably trying to clean him. Mine is an animal and eats EVERYTHING I throw in the tank - it try's to clean everything that doesn't move fast enough - including me I haven't heard or read anything good about Flames in mixed reef - but no personal experience with them (thankfully cause they are a pain to get out if you have a problem!)

I'll volunteer to frag up that Divers Den acro if you need help Chip

Welcome! Cool video - Looks like you picked up some nice stuff!

Here is my buddy aptly named Tank

The baby poop green one is still available though http://www.clamsdirect.com/store/product.p...at=6&page=1

Most of these sold pretty quick - We are going to try an order of 10 of them on CMAS when they get some more nice ones up. I will pm you when and if we do something like that. They are crazy cheap at $50-$60 - so even with shipping it is a pretty sweet deal. I want a squamosa now!

Tell me you kidding.......right?!?!?! I have a FULL mixed reef and everything looks KILLER I think you are a little mistaken on your information. Some of us must mean you, and the buddy that told you can't have a full mixed reef with no problems. INCLUDING a low nutrient system. You are more than welcome to stop by and check my tank out - you are right up the road about 15min.

Sam - sorry to hear they didn't make it - at least you didn't pay for them The red ogo didn't make it either. Not your fault - I can't grow macro to save my life due to the low nutrients. I heard from other people that they got zoa pox and stuff from some zoa's up at Mr. Coral too. I don't know what to look for - so I have no experience with that myself. They could have had anything and I would have never know. I dip EVERYTHING in revive though. That can happen from any vendor though. It isn't their fault they come in from the wild like that. I have no problem growing aquacultured or wild COLONIES (at least from Roozens) zoo's at all. In fact they are doing great in my tank now. Thanks Chip - Yeah things have been looking great in my tank since the crash. Just watching things grow out now. The colors are insane. I love just sitting in front of the tank every night with the wife and watching the fish swim - for hours...... I hope your tank turns around as well. On the Mr. Coral thing - live and learn. I gave him a chance to make things right with the clam and with all the other issues I have had - to no avail. Same with the other guys I know that he has burned. He just wants your money however he can get it - then blames you when you aren't happy..... I stuck up for him and his business practices MANY times, until it happened to me. Live and Learn.....

Yeah - they are SWEET! We are trying to do a GB on CMAS It probably will be when they get a new shipment or some nice ones in again. Most of these sold right away or within a few days. CHEAP too.

Thats what I have heard on the fish too. I don't have any experience with them though - I usually get mine from Roozens.

Wish I had some extra $ right now - check these out This Baby poop green - but unique - I don't like it though I would buy this one - if I saw another one I had to have to make shipping worth it Tons of these ugly ones Your are making me sick Will!!!!!!! These are just insane - I wish I had the $ on me right now! Okay - I have to have this one - If someone wants to place an order for some clams - lets see if we can get a group order in on these - ie. once person order them in and we can split them up when they come in This one is mine if we do This one sold within 10min after I saw it This one is sweet too

For me - yeah its only the ones I have picked up from there. I have pretty good luck with wild colonies from other places - I have never lost one. From Mr. Coral I have only gotten frags since he cuts most of them up to make more money - and all them have melted I don't think you can cut a wild colony up right away is the problem. At least that is my best guess. That is why I posted this - to see if anyone else has the same issue - or how to avoid buying ones that melt. From the concensus it seems that most have melted on people from Mr. Coral (on other forums) So I figured why not get it out there so other people don't watch their money melt. Especially newer people - that is why I joined a club - to find out where to get stuff, what to avoid, ect. Helping each other out with information

I can't figure out how to get the poll to work!

I think I posted some pictures from yesterday of my zoa's and paly's in my tank build thread. If not - here are a few No pests munchin' on them - I have had a ton of different zoa's before and since Light and flow are good - Its only limited to one's that I have picked up up there. The rest have been aquacultured or from other reefers. 2 Vortecs and 3 x 250 mh's -

I was just curious is I am the only one - same with most of my buddies. It would be nice to hear from other people out there since I don't talk to everyone on here. Have your Zoa's from Mr. Coral melted also? I only have one left that is holding on by a thread. This is not to hurt Mr. Coral AT ALL - more of a thread/poll to see if I am the only one - and if so, then it must be from my tank parameters or something. That and to let others know so they don't watch their money melt too. All the photo's of stuff in my tank is from aquacultured stuff that I got from other vendors or reefers. Not wild colonies that were fragged up. I figure I have spent well over $500 on them, so it bumbs me out to watch all that money melt away. I've talked to the vendor a few times about this and let him know, but no response. And I know him pretty well, so that's a bumber too.

Cool, thats what I figured

This is one of my favorite pictures from today This is another pretty good picture The clam from Hunter - This thing is just plain sik looking!!! This is pretty washed out and blue - but you can see the pattern on it at least

Nice - Love the video - Thats a sweet video for a phone!!!

Looking good Mark - Is that all the zeovit rocks you are using in the nextreef? I picked the reactor up and filled it with about 300g after the 2nd week. Maybe a little higher than yours. I just want to make sure that I am not putting in too much!
