Heyya folks. I just picked up some more good LR (about 9 lbs) and it has all sorts of stuff on it. There's a few mushroom corals that I put so they're directed right under the light. Is there anything I should feed them? And as far as the anenomes go, there's a bunch of various sizes (I didn't see these). A couple are light brown with light bands, but most are deep brown. Any husbandry info on these as well? Thanks alot. If they are aiptasia, I doubt I'll remove them, as I think they're pretty cool. I dunno yet though.
I just found another anenome. This one is small, bright green, on top of what looks like a white fat cushion. I'm assuming this guy is going to need the pristine water and MH lighting I don't have, so I suppose I can just make things as good for him while he's around.

Shouldn't need to do anything special for the shrooms, but pics would be needed to comment further on all the anemones.

Actually the mushrooms weren't mushrooms as I thought and was told they were. I'm pretty sure they're green brain corals, 4 of them. I figured I could handle mushrooms, but I know the brains like more light. I wasn't planning to update my lighting for awhile, if at all, but I'd like to keep these guys going. I was planning on putting two 18" 55 watt power compact on them. Do you guys think this would help out? Right now there's a 20 w Actinic on there and a 30 w full spectrum bulb. I positioned them right in the middle about 7" away from the light. Should I supplement them with anything. I add Kent Trace Elements and Calcium when needed for the R.O. water, but would anything like Coral Vite help? Thanks alot folks.
