Eeverything is looking really good, I like the aquascaping you have.

Maybe the seio could be hidden behind the rockwork a bit too.

If you want to stay skimmerless on this tank, you will have to keep on top of water changes.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I will try to reposition all the equipment so that it won't show as much. As for the Aquaclear, it's just there for carbon, nothing else.

Update: I woke up this morning to find the stressed half of the Torch coral eaten, leaving the skeleton only. I am now sure that whatever ate the coral was also the perp that knocked it over in the first place.

Any ideas on which little bugger did this?

It might not have been eaten, could be that it just bleached, leaving the skeleton. Which would be a water qualit / light issue.

If it was knocked over, a fish COULD do it, or crabs/snails.

You could have some nasty hitchhiker crabs too.

Here are the before/after photos. The top was taken last night, when all the tentacles were still retracted. The bottom picture I took about 10 minutes ago.

This happened within a 5 hour timeframe too, so my best guess is that a crab/invert of some sort did this. At the same time, I don't know if it's a brown jelly infection.

Before



After

It just looks damaged to me... like it has taken a beating from falling and what not... then the die off just looks like die off to me... looks like it kicked the bucket on those heads or whatever... doesn't look like a fish or invert did that.
