This coral's name is Button.... u can use forseps or ur fingers to tear the algae that grow on the rock (aside from the coral) in the salt water.

Hope this helps.

yes, there's some corals does has poison but it won't kill us (human) but to protect themsleves. for example; carpet anemone, it will inject some sort of mucus that ur skin will feel itchy after touching it.

for new tank like yours, i suggest just switch on the light for 5 hours for the first 2 weeks. cause it will cause algae problem

hope enjoy keeping ur coral reef tank smile.gif

Thanks! Here's how the tank looks like now. Happy to see that the corals are still alive smile.gif

For a 1.8 gallon tank like mine, do you think I can keep a single shrimp or snail to clean up algae? If so, any suggestions? And will these button polyps give any problems to the snails or shrimps?


Added on May 11, 2011, 6:44 pmAlso, is there anywhere that I can buy a Green Star Polyps? Looking for a small one.

Try to keep snails (2 is enough), shrimps need very good water condition & cold water temperature.
Or try to keep 1 algae goby... also

Water temp 26 degree. NO2 did not check, because just did 10% water change the day before buying it. But the thing is, its already like since it in the plastic bag before i place it into my tank.

i agreed with the comment above....
what is ur tank size? what is the light u're using? what type of filter u're using? do u add wave maker to ur tank?
there's many question that u need to think of....

Hi guys, I am currently handling a project that requires me to simulate a sea bed condition. I have to keep a 3-m long tank at sea bed temperature.

Can anyone help me with:
1. What is the local sea bed temperature
2. What kind of water cooler is used for the usual saltwater tanks in your house

it would do great to help me with this..i know this the wrong thread for this..but can u please help? smile.gif thanks sifus

Water temperature<= 26 degree
To maintain the level u can use chiller such as Hailea HC- 500A with EHEIM EHEIM Professional e filter.
