I'm no expert but I'd say that coral you need ID'd is either a devil's hand or finger leather. Nice pics, I can never get good close-ups of my stuff. :smile:

I have found that using a turkey baister to do the boiling water method workes very well. It also alows you to suck the remains out after they are scorched. :evil:

My buddy had a beatiful torch coral (like the one in my avatar only bigger) and his percs used to host it. Until one day they just started to rip it a part. I don't know why but they did it to his...

I realize that, but these tips used to be green. If my copperband picks the polyps off of the trunk will this cause it to die?
Looking for causes and solutions.

Thanks!

That is a "Shaving Brush" culerpa. You can see why they call it that. Very cool form of algea, it actually changes its shade of green depending on the nutrient content in my water, kind of an NO3...

Dido, glad to see that you can still find some time for the hobby. I've had some bad luck in the past with levels crashing and large losses but nothing so severe.
Keep it up!

I'm thinking of taking the balast to a place called Qick Grow here in Calgary. They have these identical balasts, maybe we take a peek at one's insides to help find a problem.
