A Kenya Tree will mount without any problem with superglue.

However, many people confuse Colt Corals with Kenya Tree. If its a Colt Coral, it will feel slimy and won't mount with superglue. ...

You can keep live rock almost indefinately in a garbage can with a heater and powerhead. The coralline algae will continue to grow.

From your pictures, it looks to me that pictures 2 and 3 are the same critter and are coloring up the same in your tank.

If so, you achieved your goal of buying 2 of the same thing.

To go from 80 to only 5 seems unrealistic as well. My...

It seems like the black part of the impeller is some sort of hard rubber or plastic that simply covers a metal cylinder that spins around the ceramic shaft. Until...

Is the Dead Man's Finger up current from the other two?

When a leather suffers, I think it sends out really powerful toxins that can take out other corals.

In my experience, Mandarins tend to stay near the sand and BTA's tend to go up the rocks.

I doubt a Mandarin would bump into one.

Your best bet is not to move the sand.

If you want to, plan on having your fish in another tank/container for a few days until the parameters in the new tank are stable.

I think it would be nice to set up a skimmerless system based on sponges like Steve Tyree. http://www.dynamicecomorphology.com/

He seems to do pretty well with SPS corals.

I had one that would eat fish flakes with algae in them.

The best method is to use a Nori Clip. Everyone I've ever had went straight for it.
