ocellaris clownfish with a lip lump
hi
got a bit of a concern with my Ocellaris Clownfish, it's got a small lump under its lip, i'm worried about it. been feeding them frozen food, just chucking it in the tank without defrosting, could this be the cause?

Re: dealing with aiptasia
Also, if you're using Aiptasia-X, turn off your flow for a bit after application. Gives it time to work without spreading everywhere.

Re: dealing with aiptasia
Aiptasia-X works well if you're careful. I've used it in my 75-gallon with mixed LPS and SPS, just gotta target the base. Also, check your phosphate levels, high nutrients can fuel outbreaks.
Agreed on the nutrients. I'd add that reducing light intensity for a few days can slow their spread ...

Re: HOW TO FRAG ZOANTHIDS
Thanks for the tips, everyone. I'll try fragging tonight with bone cutters and keep the flow high. I'll report back on how it goes.

HOW TO FRAG ZOANTHIDS
I've got a colony of Zoanthids that's outgrown its space. What's the best way to frag them without stressing them too much? I've got a 40-gallon tank, AI Prime lighting, and stable params at 1.025 salinity, 78°F, 0 nitrates.

Re: Troubleshooting bubble coral issues
600, that's crazy high. Either your test kit is off or you might've tested it wrong.
What's your Alk and Mag at, by the way?
Bubbles are pretty finicky about water parameters, most corals are like that too.
I'm gonna retest the calcium, maybe I messed up the test. Need to get a test kit for ...

Re: Troubleshooting bubble coral issues
I've had one for years, got it from a fellow reefer, and it's still going strong. But I did buy another one and it didn't make it a week, so I think some bubble corals are definitely hardier than others. Not an expert here, but I'm not convinced the high calcium is the problem - could be wrong ...

Troubleshooting bubble coral issues
I've had this bubble coral for 6 days now and it's still not fully opening, just tiny bubbles. I tested my water and my calcium is way too high - could that be the issue? All my other corals are open and happy.
Water params are:
Salinity 1.025
Ph 8.0-8.5
Ammonia .6
Nitrite .3
Calcium 600 ...

Re: My new clownfish have arrived
Generally speaking, it's not uncommon for clown fish to take some time getting used to their new surroundings. I'd give 'em a few days of peace and quiet before introducing new foods to their diet. Having some mysis shrimp on standby is also a good idea, just in case they're a bit finicky about ...
