Conskis 34 Gal Solana Build

Looking good..

And that is EXACTLY why they call it the Slimer.. those are 100% normal, those snot webs, just coral snot, NOT DINO, so no worries. If you still have a tiny piece of slimer pull it out of the tank and hold it over a little cup for 10 minutes and see how much slime can come out of such a tiny piece.. it is amazing.

Dang that Garf does not look good at all. :( Crossing my fingers though that it will make it.
 
oh hahaha i thought it meant that it was dieing! i think itll do okay in a week or so.. yea the garf is looking bad i was expecting losses but not that guy! i really hope it makes it as well itd be one of the more unique corals in my tank for sure.

The spongodes is the most unusual corals ive seen lol it looks like those slugs from futurama that produce slurm or whatever!
 
Any time you touch or bump against the slimer in the tank it will do that.. it will also do that during water changes as well.. it is like a little kid with a runny nose 24/7. lol.

So where did the "True" strawberry patch end up? Don't see that in any pics although it is a very small piece.. came off the small piece I bought just a couple months ago.
 
O YEAAA fergot about that little guy!i dk the middle of him looks like its struggling a little! some red polyps are out but the middle of it looks worn or something heres a pic of it, and one of the garf with a copepod on it actually braving the light.

dk if the garf or slimer will make it but im having hope!
 
Well.. the good news, I still see flesh on the Garf. I think it may have just expelled all its zooxanthellae from the stress of being dipped and then shipped. I read certain SPS corals are known to bleach out from a revive dip, maybe the 2 stresses combined caused that on the garf. If you still see polyps coming out from the top then you will know it is still alive and will come back and color up if given TLC.
 
yup i still see some green and i do still see some flesh so i bet it makes it, the big slimer though that bad boy i see polyps on but its losing its flesh
 
You sure it is losing its flesh and not just sliming? If you are sure it is losing flesh just pull it out and toss it. Your not talking about the big piece on the plug are you?
 
the the big on the plug yes its losing flesh staring to bleach i mean the polyps are there and its still sliming but it doesnt look good.
 
Dang.. that sucks.. well.. now we know why "acroporas" are the hardest corals to keep.. they are so sensitive and appear to be very poor shippers. Maybe the slimer and birdsnest got cooked by the heat pads in the box since they were the closest to them.. that is my only guess on why the slimer is croaking. On the plus side the montis look great, especially the rainbow. :)
