[FishGeek]

Please and Thank You.

Question 1:
Why is one of my new baby Mushrooms kind of clear??

Question 2:
Whats going on with my Feather Duster?? I havent even had it a week. It never opened.

Question 3:
Im looking for something that I can put into these two holes. What do you think??

dusters will retract sometimes. Mine did it when I had to move him, he should come back out... How long has he been in?

 

[FishGeek]

I got him last Monday. He has never come out in my tank but look pretty good in the tank at work.

shrooms sometimes become translucent because of the amount of lighting...not a bad thing...just different shades....and maybe put a cany cane or euphylia in those holes?

 

[FishGeek]

Thanks aregod. But what about the Feather Duster. THat weird color atthe bottom of it has spread.

 

[aresgod]

I am not sure...I have never kept the large hawaiin feather dusters, so I dont have any real experience with them, is it algae growing on the base? maybe increase the indirect water flow in that area?

 

[FishGeek]

No its not algae. Its almost like the tube is going clear but still with that color (if that makes any sense)! I hope it means that its not dying.

Not sure about the feaher duster but I vote for the euphylia frogspawn or hammer wall type.....what about a montipora capricornis that sworls out in cup shaped plates?

 

[FishGeek]

I think that I am going to go with Hammer in one of the spots (not sure which yet). My husband wants Montipora Capricornis in his tank so I dont want to duplicate. Any other ideas???

 

[Sebastiandacrab]

i just got some Euphyllia ancora hammer coral and its awsome id get that

 

[Lorna]

You already have a tubinaria (yellow scroll) don't you? how about a full tank shot that would give me a better idea??

 

[FishGeek]

Here ya go Lorna.

I think if you got a really nice show piece of hammer and put it in that hole on the left side of your tank you could then get something for the right side to balance it out like maybe a bubble or even a type of torch or something that flows. Mind you will have to watch out for the anemone.......sounds and looks great.

 

[FishGeek]

Well I have Feather Dusters on the same side as the Anenomie along with some Button Polyps that hitch-hiked in) I dont feel comfortable putting anymore of there. But I am thinking about getting some hammer. I just cant decide if I want a wall or branching. In the other spot Im thinking of maybe some Candy Coral, or something. I still dont know about that spot (yellow circle).

Just leave it, wait to see if it get's overgrown. You need to learn to stock to allow for a few years growth

 

[Lorna]

In that case I would just go with the hammer right now. I don't think I would put a candy cane in there just yet. Looks good.

 

[FishGeek]

Yeah thanks. They only thing that I am going to get is a Hammer. But Im not sure if I want a wall or branching still.

 

[aresgod]

I have both and I prefer the wall...branching might as well have a Frogspawn.

 

[FishGeek]

Thanks aregod. My work only has a "pink" (not sure what color it is really called) wall. I want to wait to see if they get a green one again. Those are pretty. Thanks Everyone. I will let you know when I get one and I will definately post pics!!
