update:
here is a Ricordia/Palythoa rock as it was 7 days ago:
And here is the SAME rock, just a euroreef rs80, 3days on a makeshift ATS (that is beginning to grow) asmall clean up crew, normal light cycle, 0 water changes from day 1 (yet...one slated for a week from now) and have NEVER fed the tank
oh and yes I know the glass is very dirty....i cannot keep my hands out of the tank and there is dried salt all over the front glass....guess i could clean it up...
