gena Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 What's a stylotinella? That's a new sounding one to me . Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 What's a stylotinella? That's a new sounding one to me . I might not have spelled it right! It's an encruster and gets fuzzy polyps. The one I have is pink - although when I was doing the tank transfer, more than half receded and is just now starting to come back. What's a stylotinella? That's a new sounding one to me . Totally misspelled it!!!!! Stylocoeniella! https://reefbuilders.com/2015/01/20/rainbow-stylocoeniella-diamond-rough-macna-2013/ Link to comment

markalot Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Easy sticks, like stylophora. I really like (copy/paste) Stylocoeniella corals. I got one by accident and it's not fancy or very pretty, just brown with green polyps) but it's a survivor. Link to comment

I got one by accident and it's not fancy or very pretty, just brown with green polyps) but it's a survivor. I actually really like poccilopora (sp? - too lazy to go look it up) and I like green slimers and the blue stags. I had a bunch of digis in my biocube and an awesome Bud Bomber poci, but when i was trying to remove the pink and golds that were overtaking my tank, I just about nuked all my sps. The caps recovered, the puffy pink styloconiella wasn't impacted, but my poci and orange skin green bird and pink bird all peeled. But MAYBE a poci and a slimer I like fuzzy things and the slimer is just such a striking green color. But with all my leathers, I feel like they're just doomed to fail from leather toxins. Maybe the crap ton of carbon I run will help Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 sorry just trying to be enthusiastic Oh, don't listen to Spectra. He's mostly always full of poop. I like the enthusiasm! Any tips on getting RFAs out of a tank?? I still have one that needs to go in the 10!! I wish! I have a white one that I love, stuck right in a rock where I want to put the bubble tip I got yesterday. right now, the BTA is in a hospital box or whatever until I can get the white RFA out and over to the 10. I even tried the powerhead trick - didn't work. I have 5 that are being stubborn If you can get your fingers on it's foot (hopefully RFA feet don't gross you out as much as people feet ), you can slowly push/bother it until the foot starts to lift and then just apply pressure until it comes up. But be careful not to damage the foot. One of mine, it took me a half hour at least to safely get it off the tonga. Link to comment
kimberbee Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I have 5 that are being stubborn I'm ok with RFA feet... I've used that trick for a couple. But the last one... it's wedged sooooo far into the rock. GRRRR!! Link to comment

GRRRR!! yeah, that's like my white one. When I try to grab it, it sucks all the way down into a crevice. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 hmm. What are you going to paint??? Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 hmm. What are you going to paint??? Not sure yet! I need to get a blacklight though.... Link to comment
teenyreef Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Silly Stella, you can't paint the corals. You have to manage nutrient levels and have good flow and lighting to get them to color up. Link to comment

teenyreef Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Damn. I can feel your disappointment from here. It's OK, we all make mistakes like that. Just remember to do your research online and ask the experts before you spend all that money next time. Link to comment

Is that ok? I guess I should've researched! Link to comment
