Yeah, definitely can be an issue... my emeralds sometimes eat the pipe organ polyps. I tried to catch them, and the cleaner shrimp, in the past to get rid of them, but now I’m so glad I couldn’t catch them. Overall they are really fun and interesting to keep and the pipe organs seem to grow back fast enough so it seems to be okay for now... I have so many invasive corals in my tank, maybe they’ll help keep things in check. 🤞🤞🤞 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, it is!!! 🙂 Along with a baby sun right under it, to the left of the bristleworms. Curious to see how all these baby suns are going to get along with the other corals as they get bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment

And of course any question about a particular coral is viewed in my mind as the perfect opportunity to photograph said coral, so here we go haha 😜 2 2 Quote Link to comment

banasophia Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Just noticed that my GSP frags met up for the first time today... not the greatest pic since the lights are going down for the night and everything’s closing up, but I still thought it was cool. Interested to see how they grow together. I still have the purplish GSP sitting on my sandbed, considering adding it to the back wall too, but not so sure about that. 3 Quote Link to comment

banasophia Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Holy encrusting zoanthids... look at the spider sponge now, it’s 1 am and I just came in to make sure I turned the pump and powerhead back on after feeding. (The gorgonian is shedding tonight.) 3 1 Quote Link to comment

And nothing near them last long . I’ve tried to get rid of them but they are mother ####ers Quote Link to comment

I have found that emeralds eat them a bit and dolabella sea hares eat them fairly well but they are difficult to keep in a tank without much algae. I’ve heard yellow coris wrasse may eat them, but I’m already fully stocked so I can’t really test that out. Quote Link to comment
