Greetings-I have a 120G reef tank established about 5 months ago. As a
retiree, I have been patient about adding things and have put in mostly soft corals and recently 2 clowns, 1 cardinal, 1"exquisite" wrasse, and enjoy watching things develop.About 1 month after set-up, I added about 75 hermit crabs, and recently a Mithrax green crab and a short spined(?) sea urchin. Chemistry in tank is checked on a regular schedule and seems fine. My question is about mushroom corals. About 4 months ago, I added a live rock with 15 or so purple mushroom corals with some hitch hikers. They seemed happy and slowly waving in the soft current. About two weeks ago, I noticed two mushroom corals on the top of the sand in the back(black)end of the tank. Have not been able to see that any are missing from the piece of live rock but the two new guys (?) seem happy on top of the sand and actually move around a bit within a 5 or 6" area, perhaps from current flow. Question--will these guys establish themselves on some of the other live rock? Will they be o.k. hanging out on the sand--it is a part of the back of the tank that is difficult to access. Should I intercede and try to put them someplace--my guts tell me to let nature have its course. Is this typical of mushroom corals? Thanks in advance for any advice. -- Al Waitz |
