Bubble Question

[cotter4601]

I have had my pink bubble now for about 2 months. It seems to be doing ok, but when I look at other peoples pics of bubbles they look different. Mine has it center spread out and not all clumped up like I see others do. It almost always has little tenticles are always ot too. I haven't seen any of the really long ones I hear you all talk about either. Any idea? Is this normal.

Hi cotter, bubbles should be nice and expanded like this

they should take brineshrimp and cyclopeeze, hope this helps.

Mine isn't all clumped together like that. It's like it's mouth area is always exposed. The bubble on it are exanded. I have it toward to top of my tank. Can this coral have too much light?

Here is a link of what mine looks like. There are also other things growing on the bottom. I almost want to say they are a type of majano, but I'm not sure. I can't find a pic that resembles them. They do have a little bulb tips on them with a nice green center.

Here is another:

They dont need a lot of light, there quite happy under t8 lighting and seem to love atinics, if you look at you first picture the bubble seems to be stretching upwards away from the base, are those manjanos bothering it ? i would remove them as they can reach plague proportions very quickly. nice bubble though mate

I have yet to decide if they are majano for sure yet. I can't seem to find something that looks just like them. What do you think? I have tried to remove them but they are buried in the rock pretty good.

Joe's Juice will get rid of them. My bubble has always looked like yours. I would like to see it more compacted though.

 

[cotter4601]

Me too. I hope after I get rid of the majano it will do that.
