Re: Need coral identification

Is it encrusting or is that a skeleton I am seeing? Without a better picture it's hard to tell.

Re: Strange swimming habits

Added some Epsom Salt in to aid in the passing of "the worm". I am starting to be more and more sure about it being a tape worm.

I Run activated carbon in the sump when I am not treating but I remove and only use a filter pad while I am treating. How long do I need to soak his food in the medication for it ...

Re: Strange swimming habits

Re: Strange swimming habits
