Suprises never cease in my SW tank that I started at the beginning of the year.... I went away for a week and when I came back my bubble tip anome split and now I have two... I purchased it from a member here only a couple of months ago and it was the size of a nickel....

Also all of a sudden on one of my rocks some form of green feather duster has apeared....

No these are deffinetly Bubble tips... thanks for the warning about the other type /

I think my bubble tip grew and split so quickly because i have excellent VHO lighting and I have been hand feeding it 3-4 times a week with various foods. I also have a Gonnipora that I purchased unkowningly that they were very hard to raise / I have been hand feeding it cyclops eeze / acan plus and reef roids 4-5 days a week.... It is very healthy and growing nicely / Blind luck I guess

reef roid is a good food for gonioporah, and this is not as polluting as other kinds of food. my gonioprah had split twice just a little ball and i sold the mother colony and the clone is now also growing. I have a ocelaris clown fish hosting it.
