Any idea what this action is all about ?
The bubble is on a skeletal 'rib', or to be clearer, I can see the skeleton through the bubble

Lots of 'strange' things happening in your tank today ;) my FS did something similar, but it was one of the 'tentacles' it got about an inch thick then a few days later went back to normal. Can't say why but I'm sure its nothing to worry about, your msn eating palys on the other hand, keep your fingers clear ;) :P

Ya, kinda strange
Maybe it's full of freshwater and is about to burst 'cause my refractometer isn't calibrated properly :doh: :razz:
( I have calibrated it, and J&L confirmed it today - it's good )

Honestly, I'm starting to question everything I do

Haha that's why I always ask before putting anything in my tank, and why I'm approaching 3000 posts :P way I see it is I can ask all I want and save the head aches. Mind you no matter how much you learn it seems there is always something more to know. At least thats what I find.

How'd the tank found btw? as well as things in general?

??
Did you mean how's the tank in general ?
Ya, all is great
All corals look happy and are growing

Any idea what that weird bubble is on my Frogspawn ?

I think it's gas!! Have you been feeding the tank Reef Chili ?

Frogspawns seem to do that occasionally, usually just before splitting. Doesn't seem to bother them so I wouldn't worry about it


*edit* although yours appear to be a torch coral not a frogspawn......

You think torch ???
I bought it as a frag from a local reefer and it was sold to me as a frog from his colony
You'll see the skeleton in the pic below

This is right after I brought it home from the frag swap @ Rich's

Would be kinda cool if it's getting ready to split, but I'd be surprised as it's still quite small ... 1" across or so

My Frogspawn is doing the same thing and I was told that it is going to split , so it seems to be a good thing!

If it's the case, that's good
I'd be surprised as my little frog head is so small, why would it split now ...

Marie, you've got me wondering now what I actually have here

I'm going to ask the seller to send me pics of the colony ....
