First my 2 mouth BTA. She was white when I saved her from the FS and now this is her in all of her glory. Picture taken yesterday.
You can see her transformation on my web site.

I had a bubble coral that died recently. I think my softies poisoned him because I don't run carbon. Do you think it would be wise to run it constantly to absorb some of the chemical warfare that is going on? If so, how often should I change it?

Hi Jon, I run carbon at all times in my tank, just a half cup in the 125. changed once a month.
I double it was warfare, where you feeding your bubble?
I feed mine mysis shrimp at sometimes if I have a small piece of silverside left over I give it that which it eats.

King, thanks so much, the 125 is only 5 months old.
All stock came from my other tanks but I have added to it since with zoos and shrooms and fish.
The sand is also new, it is Southdown sand.
But the rest is from other tanks I have.

Do you have any emerald crabs in your tank? I have one that likes to eat the caleurpa that I just put into it. Also, my bubble coral is dead now. I lost a torch coral a month ago, and it may have caught the same disease. When it was alive I fed it plankton and brine shrimp.

Yes I have one small one but it has not bothered anything in the tank so far, it has been in it since I set it up.
But that may be the curprit in yours, sometimes they don't play nice.

I witnessed mine eating my caleurpa again. I had to get rid of him. He was even eating some of my clove polyps and yellow polyps. As soon as my algae gets established, I'm going to try to go without a sump just like you do.

do you have any regular small hermit crabs in your tank? I got rid of the emerald crab, but my algae is still disappearing. I have a yellow tang, but I've never seen him eating the caleurpa.

Hi Jon, yes I have both blue and red leg hermits in the tank, about 20 or so in the 125. My tangs have never eatin the caulerpa as she eats mysis and formula one just fine and is never hungry.
Thanks so much bluecarpe.
Here are some pictures I took a few days ago when I feed
Coral Vibrance.
I love it as do all of the corals so took some pictures of some of there reaction when it was put in the water.
And some other pretty pictures.
I love this picture, she was blowing around in the current .

Nemo, that is an awsome looking tank.

On your 13th picture, what kind of coral is that? Its the coral on the bottom with green tips with white spots in the middle.

Still looks great. Finding Nemo, having three BTAs in a tank won't hurt them but say I get a Carpet anemone and I have a condy already, will the do chemicle warfare?

Yes they will and the Carpet will win as they have a potent sting.
There are some people on RC that do keep several kinds of nems in their tank but that have large tanks, 125 or over.
I would never add anything in the way of different anemones to my tanks with the roses as they will start to move to get out of its way as it finds it's place.
So far not one of my anemones has moved around the tanks and stay put.
So personally I would not do it in less then a 125 and then it is still risky.

Actually I am pretty sure the Condy has a more powerful sting. The main factor of the battle would be the size of the anemones. Whos bigger and whos smaller.

But how do two different types of anemones know each other are there?

You may be right, I however do not know much about other anemones as I only keep roses and a flower/rock anemone. So take what I say about any others with a grain of salt ok
I don't know how they tell that there is another nearby.
I do know that they do and will wither away from the other when threatoned or stung.
