Looking for a good home for my overgrown Birdnest, trade preferred, a big Birdnest colony, 6-8" ball, easy SPS coral, will turn bright pink if given ample lighting, currently in an area being shaded by other corals higher in the aquascape. I will meet within reason from 18334 and consider any...
Hello I was looking into getting an ORA Ponape Birdsnest coral. I keep seeing like for instance on TSA website. Medium flow/ medium light. What par is considered medium?
So I accidentally broke off a small bit from my Birdsnest. In my rush of panic, I glued it onto a frag disc...in hindsight, I may have gone overboard...
This thread will be to document little Birdie's progress in a big new world.
My birdsnest is a grower and is starting to approach the waterline - any harm in letting him figure things out or is it best to trim? Most important that I don’t lose the colony
Hello everyone! I have a 40 gallon cube, and I’m struggling with successfully keeping corals. Im currently running an AI Prime HD and was wondering if anyone has a good preset recommendation. I made my lighting schedule by myself (Ill attach an image, I know it’s probably pretty bad don’t make...
It’s growing but seems to be loosing its color. Just looking to see if anyone thinks it looks normal and if I should dose anything to make it color up.
Hi fish people,
I got this wwc green birdsnest a few months ago and about a month ago it started bleaching. Maybe six weeks at this point. This is my first coral that's started doing that so I was slow to react. I've lowered the light intensity and the time the lights are on. It's still slowly...
Hi everyone! I just got my first branching sps. It’s a green pocillopora, and I am so excited to see it grow! So I wanna see all of your SPS! Show me what you got!
Hi experts, noticed that my Green Birdsnest's polyps pealing away from the skeleton, exposing it. Any suggestions on what I should be doing?
Also noticed some irritation signs (white cotton) covering some parts of the coral especially at the branch tip areas.
Thanks.
So yesterday came home with some new frags and placed them in the sandbed before lights out. Well I guess at some point my conch knocked over this new birdsnest I got on top of a really nice frogspawn. Now it looks like there's recession and brown spotting where the birdnest had fallen on.
Any...
Hey out of nowhere my green birdsnest of about 1.5- 2 years is dying. I have had the colony for a while and not sure what's the problem. Stable parameters and other corals are fine. Only thing I could think of is that I fragged it last week; only clipped off an inch.
I am not sure if i have a problem yet or not but I was watching my emerald crab really go to town on my birds nest last night. I watched him pinch at the coral a lot then move one, and later he came back! I used a plastic arm to push him away the second time. I am sure he came back later in the...
Well, well, well... Here we go! I got a new 40 gallon Nuvo tank from IM and so far Im so impressed! I bought 30lbs of cured live rock, 40lbs of sand, and a Tunze 9004 protein skimmer. Gutted my old tank and moved over the Mp10, a couple key pieces and most of the coral frags(Birds Nest...
Hi guys,
I got into the hobby about 5 months ago now knowing at all what went into keeping a saltwater tank (It didn't help that the staff at the LFS I went to was not very knowledgeable or interested in helping me out aside from when i was ready to buy something). To keep a long story short, my...
Hi All,
It seems I have an issue for the last 3 weeks. My birdnest and pocilopora are not doing so good.
The green neon birdsnest started to loose flesh 3weeks ago and this week the pocilopora seems to have bleaching tips.
Any idea where it can come from?
The only thing I could have in mind is...
So I've been a member of R2R for awhile now, but never got around to creating a tank thread. Maybe I was scared, but I figured that I wanted a place to keep a journal of my tanks progression. My set up it unorthodox in ways, but I want to share it in hopes that it might help someone else.
So...
