Yes!, one day I want to do a Koi pond and maybe have some Red Ear Sliders or something along those lines also. I've sen some really nice home ponds on one of the turle forums I used to visit.

My golden rhodactis that recently split is splitting again. It looks like the frag fell off the rock and is stretching the mushroom way out. I’m not sure if I should leave it alone or put the frag plate back on the rock. Thoughts ? It’s the long stretched out grey thing.

Day light after it first split over a month ago.

 

[Hemmdog]

I moved the plate closer to it. It doesn't look to happy.

 

[Katrina71]

They will split and move where they are happy.

 

[Katrina71]

They will sometimes disappear for months into your rock too.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Agreed. I used to find them in the weirdest spots when I had a lot of mushrooms. Including the tubing and plumbing.

Reading these last few posts this morning about came at the perfect time. I am new to SW, and added my first mushroom to my holding tank a week ago. two days ago I thought it was dead because the small shell it came on no longer had a mushroom on it, it is just a shell now.

Last night I was doing a water change and found the mushroom attached to the glass under my egg crate frag rack, open much larger than before and it is green, not red as I thought it was. Someone mentioned that sometimes mushrooms don't stay attached to frag plugs. do they just "leave a little skin behind" and peel themselves off the glue and move?

No, they are anemones. The will attach themselves. Some people probably glue them, but I would not.

Thank you... It's only 7 AM and it is a good day... I just learned something!

Woo, I’m glad to hear my thread helped someone !

I’m officially cleaning my gyres for the first time. Currently marinading in a 1:5 white vinegar:warm tap water solution in a Lowe’s 5g bucket. Hopefully they are good as new after! I’ve been noticing I was losing flow, it seemed like it was time.

Holy cow.. 42 pages! I last looked in just a few weeks ago.. lol.

Glad you found your wrasse and had a smooth transition to the 40B. Beautiful setup btw. I thought the pre-colored pipe was superfluous when I set up my system, but have to admit, it really looks great!
I'm gonna go home, break out the good book. Somewhere in Exodus it talks about not coveting.. lol.

I noticed your dragon soul favia some pages back. Did you start that as a single polyp? I have a single. He eats like a pig and is nice and fleshy, but I can't even figure out how it grows.. like what even to look for to see if it is.

Thank you! Yea I’m a fan of the colored pipe now, haha. It does look good. My dragon soul started as 3 heads, now it’s 4. It’s a slow grower for me but I also have it on its own little scoly skeleton island. The biggest mouth now looks like it’s splitting into a few new baby mouths. I haven’t been able to feed mine in a few months, it’s sweepers are never out anymore, not sure why. The complete 4th head started as the side of one of the other heads spreading and eventually forming a total new head.
