So they have no unusual coloration or hue, or anything, it’s just a jerky marketing technique? Mans cool, thanks, I never knew then exact idea behind sp.spp. I always thought when they used “sp.” it was saying it’s a subspecies, or enough of an abnormality that could be/become a subspecies. And I guess I would’ve assumed spp. Was either interchangeable, or a typo lol
-
Are they orange? Or have an orange hue, or something? We’re wondering why they’re called citrus in the first place. That’s a good idea of why, if they ARE more orange.

Now that I’m going to be getting clams again, I figure I should try to get answers for some questionable things. I know it’s a horrible sign, and usually a precursor to death, but what’s the deal with clams opening their intake siphons super wide? What specifically is causing them to do that? Water generally not to their liking, or some specific aspect about the water, or maybe the last leg of starvation, or what??? From what I’ve seen, that’s d there anything that can be done to help, once it starts? Also, when a clam blows out a milky cloud could that be anything OTHER than spawn? If they do that shortly after being introduced, is that a sign things aren’t going well?

Does anyone know what a citrus tang is? From everything I can gather, they are yellow tangs from Guam. Are they orange? What’s the difference between them and regular yellow tangs? Also, I see them listed as Zebrasoma sp., not zebrasoma flavescens.

Thanks for the heads up about springers, that’s great to know! They’re beautiful, too!
-
I always would PREFER to get captive bred, but i generally can’t afford them. I guess that’s why they’re not as available as they could be:/
-
I didn’t know about springers, are they good for all flatworms?
-
Ahhhhh, cool, thanks so much for ur help!
-
Awesome, thanks so much! Are u sure about 4 being scrambled eggs? I have those, but they have white centers. This picture looks like it’s pretty well colored out, so I would’ve thought the white would be showing. If they’re not scrambled eggs, might you have any thoughts on what else they might be?

ACTUALLY, starting about a week after this, one of my hammers, my most expensive one, started dying back with jelly, so I couldn’t help briefly wondering if there was any correlation, but nothing came off in the multiple heavy dips. Sadly but Thankfully, it’s a branching, so only the one side with 3 very close heads, died off. The last head is a good couple inches away, so hopefully it’ll be fine:/
-
AHHHHHHhhhhhh, yes, thankfully I’ve never had any problems with them. In fact, as far as I can remember at the moment, this may be the only pest worm/slug I’ve ever had, and thankfully I got it before it got into my tank.......or so I believe, so far:/ I’d imagine any spawn would have long since made their presence known.
-
Awesome, thanks very much! I’ve seen some sites that have lists online, but they don’t have that many! These might have been on some of the lists I saw, but I had spent hours searching through zoa lists, and then I came across these pics, and then I thought about going BACK through the lists, and....well, I didn’t care about IDing these zoas THAT much, at that point lol. i haven’t been accepted to the Facebook list yet, so I’ll be amazed and thrilled if they are, but it would be awesome if somewhere(also)listed zoas by color(s). That would make IDing zoas real easy! If I knew anything about actually DOING stuff with computers, I’d spearhead it! Lol

AEFW?

Hahahahahahahahaha!!! Nice!
-
That’s good, cause yours looks awesome, that’s cool that u got to keep it with no problems. Did u keep seeing it, or just the one time? thats about the size of the one I had. I feel bad cause I started getting attached to it by watching it for awhile. I felt really bad getting rid of it:(
-
Can anyone help my identify these zoas/palys?
-
Do euphyllia flatworms attack elegances? I’ve been hoping to find a list of stuff they attack, cause I just find it hard to believe they specifically JUST attack euphyllia and not any of the many other similar corals like elegances, bubble&grapes, and fox(where have all the fox corals gone????)...even scolys,donuts&meats, and other super fleshy topped corals.
-
Did u have euphyllia in ur tank? Cause I’ve been reading all over about how nasty they are. Luckily if u have them, they can only hide for a short time when they’re still small
-
Ohhhhhh, gotcha, so the dipping doesnt kill the eggs?
-
Did the fish all just hang out, staring right at the return from the frag part?
-
That’s what I was thinking! I knew it’s HUUUUUU-U-U-U-U-UGE compared to some flatworms, but I didn’t know if there were others that were big like this one. No, I didn’t really check again, I just immediately put them back into the bucket. The big hammer was in the tank for a good couple minutes:( hopefully if there were still any on the corals, they wouldn’t just leave an otherwise healthy big hammer, and we’re taken back out:/
-
Holy carp, ur right! It’s a euphyllia eating flatworm:( just to be safe, I’m double dipping them, with much a higher strength dip! I feel bad, cause I was starting to like the little thing...I was hoping I would put him in the tank let him happily do his thing.......if it wasn’t destructive:(
-
It’s totally flat. It makes those ruffles on its side come up when it moves, but when it also can slide totally flat along the surface. Also, it doesn’t have the nudi bunny ears.

Hammer, elegance, and torch

Ahhhhhh!!! I was wondering what happened to torches recently! I doubt that explains the huge shift from awhile longer ago than that, although maybe it’s from a similar situation. Back in the day, I don’t remember just how “back”, but I’m guessing as recent as 10-15 years ago, which sadly is starting to feel pretty recent lol, the generic “torch coral” from what I always around and used to, was the beautiful long flowey, bright green tentacles with super bright green, sometimes yellow tips. That was what the cheap, dime-a-dozen, “boring ol’ torch” was. Even just from captive specimens, shouldn’t they still be around, if not actually still common? But no, when I DO see a similar one these days, it’s rarely as nice looking, and it has some crazy name and goes for $150-300/head, instead of the $25-$35/head they used to be:( thankfully that’s not just the general coral inflation rate!!! Hopefully torches will start going down soon, once more have been brought into the market, and more people are splitting and selling what they have! I’d love to be able to afford some of those beauties around!
