Update On My Corals

[Otherone]

Forgot this yesterday - #3 I believe is an Orange Atlanic Tree Sponge. This is a "Catch 22" invert. They need high water flow to stop algae from clogging them up but they will die if exposed to air - even micro bubbles. They are extreme filter feeders that like a constant supply of dissolved protiens - lighting is a non-issue.

I'm gonna goggle the sponge now, I should then adjust the flow to face directly towards it.

Also does anyone know why my mushroom have been closed for a day now? Is it natural for them to be close at some times?...one of the mushroom seems to have not open in a few days.

All the other corals look great still

If you move the flow directly onto the sponge then any micro bubbles in the water will go straight into the sponge - right.

Ok thanks for the info,

Mushrooms can close if they are "settling in" for a long time, or if you disturb them they can close for a wile... but generally if they arent opening something is wrong, either to high of flow, or to much light.
