Is there anything I can do to prevent the spreading of this infection and save this coral. It is a very beautiful fluorescent blue and pink and I really want to save this coral.<br /><br />Thanks. <br /><br />Vicki <p><a href="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?a=8ln0uS"><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?i=8ln0uS" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~4/384663895" height="1" width="1"/> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:34:28 -0700 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1490 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1490 http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~3/359746509/index.php I have to disagree with Ben's opinion, this coral is a great piece to have in your reef. It is amazing to watch, the individual polyps open and close simetaneously. Although, I do agree that it is a fast grower, but you can prune it every so often and either sell the frags (which will grow into a whole new coral) or give them away to people just starting a reef or to fellow aquarists. Xenia is a great coral for a beginner or an experienced aquarist. <br /><em><strong>Jordan</strong></em><br /><br /><a href="http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reef/soft_cor/clavul.php" target="_blank">View the full article</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?a=1KhM0i"><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?i=1KhM0i" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~4/359746509" height="1" width="1"/> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:37:35 -0700 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1285 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1285 http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~3/316682501/index.php My Cabbage coral is very easy to care for. I keep a medium current flow across this coral, enough to slightly move the leaves. Lighting in my tank is all normal output fluorescent 6500K, 10,000K, and Actinic. I maintain normal to high water parameters, Calcium 400+ ppm, Magnesium 1300-ppm, Alkalinity 8-11 dkh, I adjust parameters with additives and maintain with Kalkwasser. <br /><i><b>OldFishMan</b></i><br /><br /><a href="http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reef/leather/cabbage.php" target="_blank">View the full article</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?a=9eptI4"><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?i=9eptI4" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~4/316682501" height="1" width="1"/> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 10:13:01 -0700 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=625 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=625 http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~3/316682502/index.php I've had mine for about 3 months, although it was owned by my co-worker for a number of years. I love it, it is my prize coral, with a maroon body and neon green tips. If you're thinking of buying this coral it's a good addition, but placement in the tank can be tough. Just try to face it up so ALL the polyps get light, not just the biggest ones. And try to place it somewhere without TOO much flow, but it does need some flow. I recommend feeding it squid once a week, a little bit to each poyup head, and maybe zooplankton once a week, but not on the same day.<br /><i><b>nick</b></i><br /><br /><a href="http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reef/lg_stony/frogspawn.php" target="_blank">View the full article</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?a=dcfN1l"><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?i=dcfN1l" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~4/316682502" height="1" width="1"/> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 10:13:01 -0700 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=624 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=624 http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~3/316682503/index.php I have had my frogspawn for several months. It is a beautiful pink shade. It seems to be very happy sitting on the sand in the aquarium. Since I have owned it, it seems to have grown new branches. I do not have it near any other coral or creature that it can sting. However, many of my fish swim under and around it all the time. It has been a great addtion to my aquarium and has not been difficult to care for at all.<br /><i><b>Liz Younglove</b></i><br /><br /><a href="http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reef/lg_stony/frogspawn.php" target="_blank">View the full article</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?a=UCXrZX"><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~a/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld?i=UCXrZX" border="0"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~4/316682503" height="1" width="1"/> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 10:13:01 -0700 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=623 http://animal-world.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=623 http://feeds.animal-world.com/~r/ReefAquariumCommentsAnimalWorld/~3/316682504/index.php Bubble corals are recommended for beginners.
