soft coral

Hey everyone! Finally got "reef" lights and I am currently looking for recommendations on hardy corals that are easy to take care of. I am not always home so corals that require super special care will not be viable for me. Due to this, I've been told I should stick to easy LPS and Soft corals...

I have a #120Mixed Reef It's like someone took a bite out of it. Ever since Hurricane Irma, it has not been fully extended. What are your thoughts? If it's dying should I cut it off the rock? The crazy part, all of my #SPS & #LPS corals are doing better than ever!

Trying to rebuild collection after Irma destroyed all of it, and one of things im trying to find is a true Japanese deep water toadstool. Thanks!!!!!

Does anyone know where I can find soft corals on Oahu? Thanks!

Hello. I'm new to this forum and I love learning all about corals and ocean life. I need to know how fast a zoanthid grows. Unlike most zoanthid owners, I need to find out how slow a basic zoanthid can grow. How fast does it sprout new polyps? It's hard to explain but basically, what's the rate...

Hi everyone, I purchased this frag about 2 weeks ago from a Petco near me. Wasn't in great shape so thought I would get it and see if I could bring it back, I guess you could say. Well it is doing great and has several new heads on in but I can't figure out if it is a form of Xenia or maybe a...

I live in Austin, TX and have found some really good zoa/palys, but at the moment it seems like I have seen what Austin can offer. At least from the few LFS and a few local hobbyist I have met. Im looking for bright colorful zoas/palys in the Texas area. I would prefer to pick up but if you have...

All of my acans' tissue has been retracted for the past two days - all acans at the same time and only the acans - without any change in lighting or water parameters and I am wondering if it could be due to soft coral chemical warfare. Does anyone have any thoughts or references on the subject...
