Caught the little bugger last night! It was a nudibranch. It look so much like the Xenia it took him wiping out almost every colony before i found him. His back even pulsated like the Xenia. One crazy look'n creature. I have a pic but don't know how to post. He is over 2 inchs long!

Last week i noticed something is eating my Xenia and Lollypop corals. Both have been almost completely eat'n alive. This morning at dawn i noticed a white mass at the base of the xenia excreating what looked like spores and a white paste substance. Once the lights came on it disappeared. I...

Caulastrea is a candy coral, right??? That hard coral is doing just fine. Lollypop coral is a soft coral, it's blue, grows heads on the top of each branch then loses them and molts to grow new ones every couple weeks...

Sweet Advice! Your right, hitting the reef with a flashlight in the middle of the night is awesome. Can't say i've seen any abs, but have seen some crazy things! Last night i caught some bugs, about thumbnail size near the freashy eat'n Xena. These guys had legs and looked mostly...

Thankz for your reply- How big does a worm have to be to cause damage? Some of the little critters are getting thumbnail size and looking...well, alien. Someone thought a crab might be the problem. I have 4 red leg crabs and one with yellow striped legs and a white claw. I thought it was a...

I have a 65 gallon reef tank without any fish. I've noticed that some of the "bugs" have been getting bigger over the last two months. I thought this was a good thing until last night when i noticed the Xena was half eat'n at it's base. Can someone please tell me what could be causing the...
