I freaked put when I bought two emerald crabs. I have a small colony. But you know, he was just cleaning the algae and detritus. They look better than ever.
"Bytor" is probably a reference to the song "Bytor and the Snow Dog", by the rock band Rush. If you like rock music, check out Rush. They're a real treat!
Don’t fear emerald crabs. He went after the glue because it most likely caught air and the crab mistook the glue for bubble algae. This is why he threw the polyps away.
My zoa not doing well, still close and start losing it I had 4 bulbs T5, 54 watt working for 9 hours daly KH 8.5 Ca 440 Mg 1320 Also my Stylophora looks white and dying xenia coral I can't see it , it's done Another corals looks good with no problem like (candy cane,Florida ricordea mushroom and leptastrea coral ) May you help me?
So I know this is an older video I saw your videos about zoanthids and polys and I was just asking when I take it out of the water will they spray that crap into my house
No, even if you squeezed them you wouldn't see a cloudy gas come out. It would be a liquid stream like it is peeing, at most. And if that happened, as long as it didn't get in your mouth or eyes, you are safe and can just clean up the area with normal cleaning products. Just be cautious around them, rather than reckless. :)
Hi Steve, I've got a good number of different kinds of zoas. That was my focus this last Reefapalooza April 2018 in Orlando. I was able to find and by the WWC Purple Monsters, Purlpe Deaths, Rastas, Magicians and my prized Salted Agaves. I was able to buy a polyp of each and they are slowly growing I have for 5 polyps of each one except the Salted Agave that one I've only been able to get 3 more polyps out of it. I have other little no-names that are pretty ones too. I have Utter chaos which are going wacko crazy with growth. I mean they've quadrupled or more in size since I bought them in an LFS down here where I'm at in Fort Lauderdale and from one polyp many many years ago which was the most expensive PALY at the time $40 that I had ever bought until this Reefapalooza, was one yellow Nuclear Death paly. From that one polyp I now have 3 completely separate groups that are growing and growing and growing. Now I have a 125 with a lot of rock with chalices, war corals and other LPS/SPS corals....but yeah, it takes a lot of them to fill up spots. The one problem that I'm having is some of the Magicians and The Salted Agaves. Sometimes it seems that their polyps bend over backwards, not so much like a penis but like a mushroom or umbrella. That's what they look like to me and I don't know if they're actually being bothered by something because I look a lot and I do take out a lot of asterina starfish out of my tank because of the zoas. (I am always looking for them) I've only had one situation where I removed a nudibranch. But never again saw another. But I can't wait to see full little gardens of zoanthids in my tank.
@@melevsreef Oh sorry!😲Thought your name was Steve! Lol Sorry...but again to my issue, the umbrella effect with my Salted Agaves. Do you know any reason that they would do that? They are the only zoas that have that issue
Hi ive been looking into liquid phosphate removers and seen you been using phosphate rx.I'm curious about the change from phosphate Rx to phosban L you mentioned in your app peramiters.
They both work equally well. Keep in mind when you look at my parameters that I share, that's the number at the time of the testing, prior to me making any changes. So the overall trend of phosphate will almost always be a higher number, because after I see the result I decide if I want to do anything about them, or not.
@@melevsreef Thanks for the reply I always enjoy your videos. One more question I must of watched a billion videos on liquid phosphates maybe I missed this part I don't know lol but do you remove your socks after dosing or do you just keep it in.
These products are recommending that you use a 10micron sock, but I rarely do, perhaps because I’m not dosing at maximum strength. If you want to be safe, use the super fine sock. I sell Phosphate Rx and the 10m socks on my site.
Got rid of my Zoas. They simply have too many problems with too many possible fixes. More importantly, I run a clean mixed reef tank that everything else thrives in. They may like dirty water but if I allow them to get that dirty water, I inevitably get algae outbreaks which they also do not like. I keep my Nitrates below 5 and my Phosphate at mostly undetectable levels. If I go over that, the inevitable algae blooms come.

melevsreef they just scare the hell out of me honestly
@@eugeneblouin1855 I've had them since 2002. Never had an incident.
melevsreef all tbe horror story’s it literally gave me an anxiety attack
@@eugeneblouin1855 You can always hire your LFS to come take care of their removal if you prefer.
Hey dude, just reminding you to add the link to the article about palytoxin.
It's done, did it pretty much exactly when you typed this. #greattiming #greatminds

You definitely sound like a collector. :) And who's Steve? ;)

Is it true if they die in your tank it'll kill everything else also
No.
Thank u

Can’t keep them alive. I don’t know why.
Could be alot of things light flow ex ex. Dont give up man...take care
hello how are u?
Bayer invented zyclon b befor aspirin
so ya, after about 7 minutes of hearing you rant about how small corals in big tanks suck...I wrote this and then moved on.
No pics or videos? ...
There was some shown during the stream, but this was mostly a conversation.
