Squared Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I have had a good amount of coraline growth on the back of my tank for a while, but it starting to disappear. There is no white calcium left behind, it just starts disappearing. Is there a common hitchhiker that eats coraline or something? If you want a livestock list, look at the first post of my thread. thnx Link to comment
Jerfrog Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 astrenia stars or whatever they call em. They eat that Link to comment
Builder Anthony Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yes i have 5 differnt types of them asterias.I think they eat it to support bone growth.If you have asteria could you post a picture of the top of the starfish.Im trying to collect as many differnt kinds as possible.I have 5 diffent kinds right now. I also wouldnt worry about stuff eating the coraline.Its grows bazck and is just part of the cycle. You may need to replace your light. Link to comment

Builder Anthony Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Maybe try doing a water change your calcium may be used up. Link to comment
Squared Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 I don't think that would explain why it leaves no white patches when it disappears. Link to comment
