Brine shrimp should really only be used to get finicky fish to eat. They don’t have any nutritional value compared to mysis

If you put them in to where they aren’t the largest fish in the tank they really aren’t an issue. What other ones did you think were bad?

And I assume you’re talking about the blue streak cleaner wrasse? That’s an absolute terrible fish for aquariums.

They are funny 😂

They never answered my main question LOL! and yep something about softies that I just love, can watch them all day.

Yep

What's your parameters? And what type of water do you use? And what is your lighting set up?

@maverickbryan1 Magnesium 1500 Calcium 490 Nitrate 50-100 in between Alk 7.7 Ammonia 0 Been battling my nitrates cut back on feeding. I get all my water from my local fish store. Most stuff looks happy but nothing grows. I only have a viparspectra running lights 12 hours 10 blue 2 whites

@@Reeflifeaquaticsky Alk is a bit low, and like you said nitrates are high, also do you dose trace elements? I'm assuming your LFS uses mixed water so you'd need to look into using the balling solution. I'm surprised zoas aren't growing though, that tells me it's a light spectrum issues, but try and fix alk and nitrates first before spending a shit ton on new lights. Good luck!

@maverickbryan1 I do not dose anything I was using ab+ but wasn't seeing anything but nitrates raising any recommendations

@@Reeflifeaquaticsky Do a 50% water change, maybe mix your own water or ask the lfs what salt they use. If that doesn't work you might have a light issue or some toxin in the water

​@maverickbryan1 of course I have but it's a mispronunciation of the actualy nickname. don't get me wrong you know your shit you're hot and talking about my favourite thing. the other thing with mushrooms is that some of them are also extremely toxic

;)

Takes a bit longer than that in my experience, but they are easy to remove and frag!!

​@@maverickbryan1not under optimal conditions in a stable and mature tank

@@bensimpson4091 Yes even then

Adobe express and canva!

Thanks for the feedback! Im still learning editing, but ill add more examples in next time. Thanks for watching!!

He's one a rock on the sand bed, but I will keep an eye out, thanks!!

Hairy mushrooms do in fact sting other corals ive seen it over and others softies relase toxins that sting and damage other corals so think what you want, most do not however. The term coral is debated heavily in the hobby zoas are closely related to anemones. There is no taxonomic description for every coral species. ALL corals are cindarians, they are all related to jellies and anemones. Hexacorallia callasifies anemones and zoas, key part being CORALLIA. Softies are classified mostly octocorallia but some hexacorallia are included in the hobby becuase of look and care.. In scientific literature you have an argument, however for most hobbyists you are just incorrect.

@@maverickbryan1all corals soft to hard sting each other to a certain extent. It’s how they protect themselves from being outgrown. I’m sorry but you are just wrong. You might want to do a little more research before commenting on something you clearly don’t understand or know about!

@@deedubs602in what way am I wrong? You provided no information just your opinion

@@deedubs602you actually agreed with me

@@maverickbryan1 Mushrooms are anemones. This is the point I’m making-- we don’t call a bee a fly that stings. We call a fly a fly and a bee a bee. I don’t understand why we can call something an “insane rainbow mega ultra inferno toxic hammer coral” but at the same time call Zoas and mushrooms corals when they are not corals.
