I agree with that. I have changed my plan though. At first I was going to try and save as much life on my Fl rock with water changes and lights on. But after doing some research, the life on it sponges,cup coral and christmas feathers do not live that long in captivity. So I will not be doing...

Thank you all for your advice. To late though about scrubbing my hubby already did! Now there is white slime all over my rock. I assume this is everything dying now. Should I go ahead and take off all of the sponges they are completely starting to die. Also should I go ahead and syphon. off the...

Thank you very much, I think that I will do just that. I realized that on my rock I have some sort of clam.
