WaterDog March 29, 2010 Share March 29, 2010 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.

Brian Ward March 29, 2010 Share March 29, 2010 I've never had issues with my frogspawns extending their feeder tentacles much. Keep it a few inches from any other corals and keep an eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

trockafella March 29, 2010 Share March 29, 2010 (edited) Brain corals can have long sweepers, that looks like a smaller piece, so you should be fine, but in time keep an eye on it.. The galaxea can have really long sweepers, so I would be very careful with that, try to see which way they sweepers flow and locate so they flow away..

Brian Ward March 29, 2010 Share March 29, 2010 No chemical issues. I've only ever heard of chemical problems from leathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterDog March 29, 2010 Author Share March 29, 2010 (edited) Whats the big red furry thing..? 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. Edited March 29, 2010 by WaterDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind March 29, 2010 Share March 29, 2010 Whats the big red furry thing..? It looks like the top of a troll doll. I am guessing it is gracilaria algae and not dragon's breath. Dragon's breath is wider and not as delicate looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterDog March 31, 2010 Author Share March 31, 2010 Well, here's part two of my coral woes. I think something's eating the frogspawn. All there is in the tank is two clowns, two neon gobies, a six line, peppermint shrimp, hermits and snails. What could eat a frogspawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 Did you have it at the bottom of your tank? Did anything fall on it? Moderat (mid sectio of a tanK) to high light. They are also susceptible to brown jelly disease when injured. Stings from other corals will cause injure too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a weird frag plug so I'm having issues putting it somewhere. There's no brown slime so I dont think it's the brown jelly disease... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
