Hey buddy, those acros are looking very good. I hope things continue to get better. With regards to the AEFW they are jammy bastards and if there is one or two in the system, there is bound to be eggs somewhere in the system; dont want to alarm you but I'd rather you be on the lookout and be ready to take some action.

Yeah I know. Just not sure what action to take. I'm not sure it will be possible to take everything out the tank.

Nice corals
Hope you are past your problems.
Thank you. Me 2, but I don't think I am. I think that green one in last picture is still slowly shedding tissue, and I may have another small frag starting to go.

If there are more AEFW's in the tank then you will have to decide whether to live with them or take action. There are pros and cons with both. There are threads on the subject.

Hello Mike, in post #352 , in the first photo behind the pearlberry looks like a setosa? Is it actually that orange in real life? I ask because I look for orange and other pure colored corals. I never know when looking at a computer if color rendition is accurate. Just wondering thanks.

Yes that's a series. Its pretty Orange. The gel filters make it a slightly different color as they are Orange 2. Here are my pics of my setosa It has somelighter yellow/Orange streaks in it that really show up under uv blue leds.

Might pay to drop that green one down to the floor if you can Mike, i'm very jealous of your yummy dragons.... i don't have any dragons
Those phone pics are awesome btw
I actually thought that Andrew was saying you should remove the coral and 'drop' it on the floor..
I know how he likes green corals..
That setosa is very cool with the green streaks.

Well he may have his wish as it is still slowly getting worse so I may just "drop it on the floor" and hopefully remove some of whatever is effecting it from the tank and from spreading to other corals... I don't know just hoping that might be of benefit. All my params (that I can test for) are completely stable in good ranges alk 7.5-7.7, ca 400, mg 1350, no3 2.5, po4 0.04. Yet still have stn problems.

Thanks. They look like a fake glow in the dark corals when you run the uv channel only. I don't run uv only in my schedule I just do it for fun now and then to see them glow.

Must admit, I've done it before with corals that just don't respond...

Acros & wieners, oh my!
I'm loving Dragon Island!!!Took shots today just with cell phone and gel filters. Tried looking in close for eggs or bite marks. Nothing I could see but pics got a bit fuzzy as I zoomed too close.
Here are a few others I took
Pearlberry, starting to look real nice
Dragon island.. Not sure if brown with green polyps is a curduus, but similar

I took out he good camera yesterday as a have some time off for Christmas, started trying to learn how to take better pictures. also used my new top down "tube" that Mike at Oceans By Design made for me. it screws on the camera so you don't have to hold it or anything. I got some shots that I am quite happy with for me. also allowed me to zoom in and look for bites. one I took I could see bites, but it was a coral I suspected had AEFW before and had dipped a few days ago (a couple came off). nothing else I took pics of could I see bites... but let me know if you do.
Sarmentosa?
Granulosa?
"evergreen stag"
Valida.. grown from tiny half inch $9 frag
another browned out freebie showing color now
Dual Cali Tort branches
new addition (2 maybe 3 weeks).. tricolor possibly
the fluorescent yellow green piece still growing well and getting more saturated
Granny #2?
not sure of ID I call it one of my dragons. but don't think it really is. shame it is a little blurry

pearlberry
red planet frag... unfortunately not mine
another newish piece.. maybe secale?
efflo rim
pink lemonade
Borealis tip
Blue dragon tip starting to develop some neat color
Steve Elias stag tip.. macro attempt.
I think my camera skills are getting better. even from the first picture out of this set to the last I think there is improvement.
And lastly one coral I can not get to show any good color.. growing well but look like poop. a Mari cultured piece I have had for a year maybe now my guess is hyacinthus. wish I could get it to show some color at least.
