Anything to worry about?

Thanks, I read about palytoxin and have always used gloves to handle the zoa's.

I'll work on this today.

I hear people use kalkwasser as well..Should I keep that in hand?

Hopefully you won't need it! You might want to get some for your top off water however. Are you watching your parameters? Alk/Ca/Mg?

 

[Montu]

I only have been staying on top of alk but do have CA and mg tests..I was just told my zoa's and mushroom don't require me to monitor CA and mg so I haven't been.

Okay, while I'm at this..Just to make sure does this look OK?

Well I think my wife killed it pretty good, any ID on my last pic?

Well I think my wife killed it pretty good, plate corala small any ID on my last pic?

To me it looks like a small plate coral next to the zoas. My guess is they will battle and the plate coral will lose. Plates only have one mouth so I don't think they can be fragged. My understanding is that once they start to go
it's over. I had a beautiful long tentacle plate that was about 7" in diameter when inflated. I woke up one morning and found one of my green hairy mushrooms pressed up against the side of it. I moved it off it, but it was gone within 2 weeks.

Thanks!

I assumed it was another Coral..shame it's going to loose.

Cut the plate coral off from the base, set it in the sand and will grow super fast. I had the same exact sort of colony and the plate was just the size of a dime. Thought it was bad thing but now this is what the plate looks like... Its about 2" wide maybe a bit more.
