New Tank Growth

I started my reef in July and I noticed that several of my corals have grown dramatically in a very short time.

Good thing the bubble algae didn't grow.

ha ha ha. Yeah, you should have seen that rock when I got it! There was more bubble algae than zoas! I have to pull it out every couple of weeks and scrape off the bubbles with a razor.

Fortunately it hasn't spread anywhere else in the tank.

invest in an emerald crab - it will be gone in no time.

Good luck with the emerald, if you try it. I had one tank that they worked great in and another that didn't look like they touched the stuff.
