acropoorer Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hey Jerrad, See you got my sun coral. It's the three or four yellow bumps on the bottom rock. This coral has been hitching around in my tank for several years and was hidden till I pulled the rock out. Didn't even know I had it. It will open, but if you want it to live it needs to be spot fed meaty foods (mysis or smaller food). This coral isn't photosynthetic so it can grow in the dark but has to have a food supply. Now you have it. Will it live or die? Let me know if it opens up. Aqua scape looks good. How do you get the rock to stand? Hope things progress well and it was nice meeting you. -Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myvirtue Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 ive grown up with freshwater all my life and used slate. different pieces and sizes and you could always chisel it very easily. My wife may come back in and rearrange it but well see. But i made the sure bottom rock was through the sand actually flat on lvled on the glass and kinda did it like a puzzle. just layed the rock certain ways until it felt sturdy and couldnt fall. I still dont see the suncoral maybe im blind and dont know what im looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innate1 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 In the last pic the sun coral is the yellow on the bottom left rock. I think you did a great job on the scaping. Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy82 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Show no mercy! They can spread like crazy. I've had success with putting a couple of peppermint shrimp in the tank - they like to eat aiptasia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 yeah, pep shrimp will take care of it. wait a week or two more, wont hurt then drop a few in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medi Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I've had mixed success with pep' shrimp. Some will go crazy and eat every aiptasia there is and then others won't come near them. I would recommend buying some kalkwasser, mix some together in a cup of fresh water, then nuke it in the microwave until it starts boiling. Then take a TB syringe and inject the mixture directly into the little booger. It works every time. Plus if you wait a few weeks it could spread and create a real problem. Oh yeah.....great looking aquascape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myvirtue Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 i found something else next to my aiptasia. anyone help me indentify these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Look like palythoas. A cousin to zooanthids. The yellow is a sponge; it's a good thing. Hitchiker corals! Score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myvirtue Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 well i i tried to to go in and yank out the aiptasia. so far im 0-1 im gonna keep trying until i go out and buy something to kill it with lol. everytime i look at my tank theres something new in it. and i also learned, dont try to kill the white little starfish when kids are around. they get really sad!

Robb in Austin Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Get the Mrs to grab you a TB or insulin syringe at work and do like Medi suggested and hit them with boiling water or boiling kalk. There is also aiptasia killer stuff you can buy(Aiptasia X is one). I'd leave the starfish myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myvirtue Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 i also got these from dale. i tried to place them up top and they keep moving around over night. guess from the flow. so im gonna leave them. but there looking great and already spreaded out and double in size.
