I have them for sale but locally. No experience in shipping corals or fish.

No problem, fyi it’s easy to ship, go to a medical Suply and purchase cups, like the ones you pee in at the doctors for samples. They sell small clear Dixie plastic cups, you make a cut and slide the frag plug in fill cup with water and put *** face down. Throw them in a box with some foam and a heat pad and of to the mail. Thanks for the reply

Picked up a couple of zoas from the LFS over the weekend for cheap and its looking good in the tank!

Are these chiquita zoas? Or something else?

Rainbow incinerators

Been battling below algae and it is ticking everything off and making my tank look super ugly!
Plucking with hand and sucking out the most I can at the moment.
Is this bryopsis? Any pointers on what should be done? Not sure what occurred that ticked the tank off but it grew rapidly! Please help me!

This appears to be filamentous algae which is lumped under Green Hair Algae. It can be pulled with a dental pick or small crochet needle and siphoned.
There after you can take rock out of tank into container of tank water and then finish scrubbing with a toothbrusg.
Return rock to tank and add some pitho crabs, chiton snails and a pencil urchin to help with control.
Also assure your phosphates arent elevated which it likely is.
Reduce white light intensity also

Looks like a type of hair algae. Beef up your CUC,go to reefcleaners.com and check out their algae eaters and either beef up from them and place and order or go to a LFS and grab what you need.

You can also lightly dose hydrogen peroxide until it goes away.

Thanks for the tips! Ive been taking out the rocks that i can scrub and getting out what I can. Also reduced white light intensity as you suggested as well. Hope I can get it to slowly go away

Definitely will check out reefcleaners to see what they recommend and possibly pick up a CUC to beef it up.

Was also thinking about dosing hydrogen peroxide as well as I have also been doing this on smaller rocks and frags that I have that is easy to dip. How much peroxide can I dose on my 60G tank?

 

[Steven Garland]

I would,it'll definitely hep you build a more robust cuc.

I have dosed it in the past,and it worked. There is a few threads talking about dosages on peroxide. Just google it and you'll find them quickly.

Check out the massive threat about treating bryopsis with fluconazole. Worked perfectly for me in two different systems. If it is bryopsis , it absolutely positively cannot be starved out. It would be the last thing to die if you attempted this.

Idk if this has already mentioned it,but a pin-cushion urchin may be ideal and quick'ish.

I had a maaaaassive amount of gha in my 10" cube (I had been fighting it for months) and I put a baby which was maybe about the size of a pinp pong ball. Within maybe within 2 weeks or so it was spotless besides a few spots he couldn't fit. Food for thought.

that will be part of the CUC I will try to pick up at my LFS this weekend if they have one

Its been a while since I updated my thread! Glad to say the outbreak has resided and the tank is back to some normalcy. Lost a few things during the outbreak, but just gives me a chance to buy more! LOL! Enjoy the pics!
