Commonly named Majano anemone ... a pesky one that will grow(as fast as Aiptasia) and moves around very quickly ... usually towards lights !! They do come in all sorts of colours but nothing more than annoying thing and will sting your corals...so get going and move it away from your main tank or put them in your sump. HTH, Paul

Mix some Kalk paste and apply it to the Aiptasia or grab the whole rock (if it's the one that's infested) and nuke 'em in your microwave!!! HTH, Paul

Please sign this Petition!! Here is a quote from one of the horse forums, "The seahorses (H. Kuda) and wildlife in the Pulai river estuary (Johor, Malaysia) near Singapore need our help guys!, if this land is developed it will be poisoned and destroyed forever. The seagrass beds, seahorses and the Dugong population will vanish. At least 5000 signatures are needed and if you have time please add a comment!. They plan to clear 2,255 acres of mangrove for Petrochemical and Maritime industries polluting the land with industrial gases, paints, varnishes, petrol refinery etc. You have to read further on the website.. Help to save the fate of these animals ~ http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/help-save-the-seahorse Thank You All. Paul

There's NO boundaries be it Age, Marital status when it comes to Absolute Reefing...IMHO! You'd be surprised to learn new stuffs from the Young reefers....ReefGeeks are All One Close knit community!! Paul

Just so you know ... ReefRoids are not meant for feeding Clams ..... usually for Mushrooms, Goni's. Paul

It'll take awhile for the Sun Coral to fully extend ... it took about a week or so before mine fully opened. Try not to move it around too much (for now...) and once it's acclimatised they'll start to 'pop' out . That's when you start feeding each polyps meaty foods like Mysis shrimp, fresh shrimp, squid but make sure your skimmer is able to skimmed all the excess nutrients!! BTW... why not post a pic or two of your Sun Coral... Paul

The hardiest of all Goni's are the Red specimen ..... other than that they're as Good as being left alone...JMHO. Paul

Anyways here are some recent shots of my Fu ManChu lionfish.... He would gladly "take" food from my hands be it Krill, chopped up Sand Eel or Live Ghost shrimps. Yupper....hand fed dwarf lionfish!! Paul

Your tank has to be at least a Year old and try adding a Refugium (initial set-up) with Caulerpa macro algae (better if you can get some from local reefer's sump/fuge as they're always filled with 'Pods) and by then your DT, Sump and Refugium should have more than enough Copepods to feed the Mandarin. Feeding the Mandarins live, dried or frozen foods doesn't guarantee that it'll feed on it. It's a Hit 'N Miss!! HTH, Paul

Looks very similar to Cyphastrea...IMHO. Paul

Dang .... that's a Nice piece and how big is it? Paul

The ideal tool to frag is a Dremel with a Diamond cutter. Not too sure if it's available in Singapore... Paul

Do you guys ever have success fragging Blastos? And I find the Wellsi species are more Hardy and easy to propagate too. BTW... nice Blasto garden and Close Up shots! Thanks.

Hey LoReNsIa, I'm from Canada and we do get a lot of nice variations of different Blastos and sometimes we do get some which are way better than the ones being imported to the U.S. market...IMHO. Paul

We do get a lot of Blue Blastos lately .... .it's kinda like the fad right now!! Any pictures from you guys? Anyone...

I'm curious to know what type of color morphs do you usually get for the Blastomussa Wellsi specimen in Singapore? We've been getting quite a bit Blasto shipments in lately ...... the most sought after are the Electric Blue and Neon Yellow morphs...here are some of the recent Blastos that came from the previous shipment! Paul

1st pic _ S. Echinata 2nd _ Nice feather dusters...which region are the Corals from? Paul

Dremel with Diamond cutter _ Cut from base upwards close to the (Top) fleshy part but not cutting thru...and use a clean razor to cut the fleshy part off (on Top) and then use the dremel to finish off the cutting from under. Leave the frags in clean water and feed it lots to recuperate...try not to move it around too much. It'll heal very quickly over the cut area....

Hey RX GAN, I'm writing all the way from CANADA, Toronto to be precise ...... and unfotunately we're like 12 hours behind in timewise...kinda like right now it's PM for you and AM for us!! I will surely visit Singapore, hopefully in a year or two and check out some of you folks set ups and LFS as well!! Paul

So far me and my buddies have been fortunate with fragging the P. Grandis....no fatality as to date! There's only a handful of us that's into this Giant Polyp species! Can any of your local LFS chime in on this subject or better yet ..... if they know if it's available in your nearby (supplier) region(s)? Wish I could visit and check out the local action but heck ...I live too far from any of you folks.... Thanks, Paul

Okay....I've only got Vincent who's into Palythoa Grandis but not anyone else? C'mon guys...you can do better than this...I need feedbacks... Have you seen anything that's similar to a P. Grandis by any chance lately? Thanks again....

OOppppps my bad....any Mods... are you able to change Title to read...Palythoa instead of Playthoa Grandis...?? Thanks man. Another morph that I'm looking forward to get this summer..... This P. Grandis has a hue of Blue and Purple morphs.... Most Palythoa Grandis can open up to a size of 1.5 to 2 inches across when polyps are fully expanded! Paul

Does anyone collect or propagate the Palythoa Grandis or commonly names Sun Polyps? I'd like to know if there's anything available from your region or local LFS and if you do please let me know or better yet...post some pix please and Thank You. Here are some of my collection thus far... Paul

Hi folks, I was just wondering which one of your local LFS should my Canadian friend visit in terms of Rare and really Kewl Corals and maybe possibly some Fish as well? Please key me in so I can pass this along to him before he leaves for his Asian vacation...this Saturday, March 10th!! Thanks in advance. Paul

That is one freakin' awesome Reds....wowee!! Good stuff..
