Yip, it has spots. It has a nice pinkish orange colored base with light blue dots. I added another power head and pointed it at it (via the front glass) every thing looks better with more flow added anyways. Hope he gets to looking as good as yours reefkeeper2. I'll post more pics later to show its progress towards happyness.

Well its fading fast. After doing ok for two weeksit looks like its on its way out. I added some pumps for more flow one was pointed behind the rocks and it stirred up sand that hadent been stirred in years so I got an amonia spike around 1 (not much) and a nitrate spike of about 40. I did a 50 gal change (150gal tank) which brought them both down bye 50% and then 2 days later a 25 gal change and now there both 0. Before the 25 gal change i did joes juice some majanoes and aiptasia. not alot but a few. Althought every thing is probably better now than it has been in a long time his foot has let loose and hes lying on the bottom looking like hes giving up even with the two clowns doing their best to save him. Is there any last ditch efforst I can do or just wait it out?

The only suggestion I can think of is to use lots of fresh activated carbon and keep a decent flow in the tank.
