We got some new corals the other day, and put some new fish in the tank, a six line wrasse and a midas blenny. The blenny then decided to go wood surfing, which made me realize we needed this: The new coral: Which amounts to this:

Darn. Here I thought I had something nice growing.

Well, we tried that screening idea and it didn't work very well with the bowfront. The midas blenny then decided to make a jump for it. So, we're going to try the eggcrate cover to see how that works.

Heh, funny you should mention that. There's a big devil's hand right near the sunburst...

Dragon's Breath Macroalgae. There's some nemastoma in there somewhere, I know it! If anyone wants some, I'd be glad to get rid of some.

Guess I'm a fish dork . Now to work on that intelligence part...

Ok, I guess I was kind of thinking about the chemical warfare aspect of the coral too, I probably should have mentioned that. Are any of the above mentioned coral a threat in the chemical department?

So I bought a few LPS and softy corals the other day, brought them home, then realized that some of them were the more aggressive ones. I got galaxea, sunburst, frogspawn, clove, palys, goniopora, and a brain coral. I know the galaxea and frogspawn are aggressive, but are there any other ones I should watch out for. I think I managed to isolate the galaxea, but I'm worried about the frogspawn. If you can tell where I put everything, advice on where to move the frogspawn would be appreciated.

Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Like what he said they're pretty harmless, they even catch detritus and stuff out of the water.

I have read somewhere that there is a type of peppermint shrimp, from the Pacific(maybe) that is much larger than its smaller relative and has been known to nibble on coral.

Ohhh ok. Maybe it's just a natural reaction then...Because a non-parasited fish=Happy fish?

Don't some fish rub up against rocks and coral in the wild? If so, I would think it's because they want to.

+1 maybe add a trigger in there for good measure.

Dang, that's rough. Hope things work out.
