Micro care...

What kind of care do micro's require? I've done some searches and they seem pretty easy, but info. is very limited. My tank spec's are in my sig and my param's are near perfect (amm/trite/trate/phos 0, pH 8.0-8.4, mg 1450-1500, cal 470-500, and alk 7.7-8.1). I feed DT's every 3-4 days and my fish/pep shrimp once daily (alternate between formula two, prime reef, frozen cyclopeese, and SanFran Bay frozen sw multi pack).

So, what kind of care is needed for micromussas?

Interesting. My pepermint shrimp doesn't bother any other coral I have. He stays hidden 90% of the time. Hopfully I have one that will behave. I don't want to get rid of him since he did such an awsome job on my aiptasia problem.

Micros do well in medium light and medium to low flow. Feed them mysis, cyclops, or finely chopped seafoods like scallops, shrimp, clams, etc... to get maximum growth. Its also a good idea to keep them away from aggressive corals including some types of mushrooms.

zoanthids? run carbon in a mixed tank of zoanthids and micro's I'm assuming, correct?

if its still alive, it will hopefully be fine. If you do not see it, do not try to find it. it may be hiding. just LEAVE it alone
