Hi guys, need some advice. Recently my bubble coral started bleaching and receding, suspected that it was due to the recent hot weather (temp hit 29 even with fan) so I moved it to a much cooler tank in my office to recover. After one month the bubble started recovering but started to have some brown spots, looks like small stains. I Googled brown jelly disease but it seems to look different. Should I be concerned? Any experts can advise? Thanks Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Thanks bro. I really have no idea what species this is. It looks almost like a piece of pink plastic, very unusual texture. Here's another pic from a different angle. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Coral Farm has good variety too. Even has sharks lol Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I have two in my tank. I have both softies and some hammers. So far so good after 6 months Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Does it take pellets? Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Update, the macroalgae is now much bigger, seems to be doing well Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi bro, I don't medicate my quarantined fish until I see symptoms. So should be fine, medication also stresses out fish. But make sure to quarantine for long enough time for an entire ich cycle to finish as symptoms won't show until the parasite is mature. Quarantine for at least one month to be extra safe.

Powerhead refers to the pump itself. The part with the motor Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Lol true but at least if you running your own chiller your can always hook up an emergency UPS that can provide power during blackout. If depending on room aircon, you'll have a problem during blackout unless you really keep a chiller just for standby. However I don't think most people will do such a thing.

22?! Definitely no chiller needed. Might be a problem if there's a blackout though. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Looks like goniopora to me. http://reefcorner.com/reef-database-index/large-polyp-stony-coral-index/pink-goniopora-coral/ Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Ok great, FYI polyart has a marine store at 934 yishun central 1. Postal 760934. According to Google the opening hours are 10am-10pm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great info to share! How can we contribute to new locations if we discover some? Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Pm'd you again lol Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Actually, now that i think about it, and after comparing skeletons, also observing that the coral seems to be getting bigger... and flatter... almost looking like a PRATA! Could this actually be a plain colored prata coral?? Any experts can advise?

Just an update. It's been some time since I put that weird mystery scoly (still not sure what lps coral it is). It has grown to a monster size of 4" in diameter and is beginning to aggressively sting other corals. Already lost 2 hairy mushrooms, 3 Duncan heads and one weird red mushroom to it. Suspect my wrasse is knocking corals into it when it buries itself. I guess it's doing very well? Lol. It's also starting to get some speckles of orange in the purple skin, very obvious under actinic light. Here's a pic of it under normal light since my phone camera cannot take blue light photos properly. You can see a bit of the orange Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hey bro, to my experience I've seen cowfish at Coral Farm. Ah Beng also has quite a few oddballs but I haven't seen cowfish though, maybe you can enquire with them Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Alamak, thanks for letting me know bro. Didn't realise the video doesn't appear in tapatalk. Think i embedded it wrongly. Here's the link for all bros to see. Lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SS6vltOx88

Strange, just realised that the video doesn't appear in tapatalk. Sorry guys, i'll paste the link here for those who cannot see it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAohgOTDw8Y

Hi bros, just noticed that my snail (i think its an astraea snail) has some sort of extra lump on its shell. I just thought it was a mis-formed shell... Until i observed that it's alive! Upon closer inspection it looks like another snail piggy-backing on the astrae snail. Check out the video, it seems like another astraea snail, just that the flesh is black instead of white. Any of you bros seen this before? Super weird but kind of cool.

Hi people. Have some aiptasia starting to pop out from nowhere after almost a year of setting up my nano tanks. at first i tolerated them but soon noticed more and more. did some research and decided to try aiptasia-x. Read a lot of horror stories about it not really being reef safe but also lots of good reviews, so i decided to try for myself and conduct some experiments. I'm recording the process over here and will monitor the situation and see if the aiptasias are really gone for good! Hope it helps bros here. So far i've decided to try on my small 8g nano cube first. I targeted 2 aiptasias. Followed instructions on applying the aiptasia. Aiptasia-x is supposed to be applied directly onto the aiptasia itself and block the entire cavity. Supposedly this means a) it can't release its eggs and it will "choke" the aiptasia fully. After a couple of seconds, the aiptasia will suddenly just implode and shrink like a popped balloon. As you can see in this video, that seems to have happened. I also quickly siphoned out the extra goo that fell off when the aiptasia imploded, just in case it really causes harm to my livestock. Supposedly it will degrade naturally if left in your tank, but i decided not to take chances. Funnily enough, they didn't say what to do AFTER the aiptasia is "imploded". So i left 1 alone (in the video) while the other one not in the video was scraped away and discarded after the process. So we'll see if there's any difference between leaving the "dead" aiptasia there vs. thowing away the carcass. Fingers crossed and will update again!

Yes i think they are. I had a similar thing in my tank, laid by nassarius snails Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Nice! Thanks for the info bro. It doesn't even look like any macroalgae I know. So awesome Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
