Hello everyone from New Lenox

Nice rock construction, good mix of corals. I need to think about camera, cell phone just doesn't do it with reef tank pictures.

watch out for this guy... it reproduces easily in our tanks by ejecting polyps. What's worse is it's one of the most aggressive corals, winning out against almost everything. This coral is all over my tank now and I have to go in with bone cutters every few months to keep the new growth in check or it'll kill other colonies.

is it a hard coral? You can always put it in a straight vinegar solution for just a couple minutes. It should disolve the live tissue and leave white skeleton if it's hard coral. How long have these green things been growing on your rocks?

I just found them yesterday. So I need to pull the rock out to do this. What about aptasia X? And what coral could it be?

In the photo you already have a peice out of the tank, no?

Unless it's aiptasia (I think we can all agree it's not) why would you use a killer designed for it?

It looks like it has a hard coral skeleton under the green. Just tank the peice in the photo and plunk it into a cup with vinegar for a few minutes, then rinse with water. A bright white skeletn will poop out if it's a hard coral.

Before I took the pic of the green dot, I cut that pice off a large section of rock with some bone cutters. I used a 10x micro lens to get that pic.
 
I also just got back from Exotic Aquatic, picked up a file fish to tackle some of my hidden aptasia and 3 nice blue chromes, Also had a great sale on frags but 2 get one free so I got three new SPS frags I can't remember their names so Ill post some pics tomorrow.
