2015年12月14日 · Red Tree Sponge - Amphimedon compressa These are super hardy and can be placed anywhere within a reef. Tree sponges are best collected within areas of current and seem to be a bit more hardy when collected in from those conditions.

2019年10月24日 · it's been 10 days now , and it seems to me like the sponge is getting thicker in some areas (the long piece under the light). Let's hope it buds some branches. I have buddy'Ss laughing at my stick sponge ;Happy.

2014年10月8日 · The sponge in the 125 gal did not fare well and eventually started to die from the bottom. This is when I ran into a similar problem with the base of the sponge fading to white with visual tissue loss on the branches.

2021年1月25日 · The one reason it was only with me for 6 months was: at that time I had a small cace of Cyano. Quick cure in my opinion is Chemi clean. Well it definitely took care of the Cyano but it killed just one coral…..you guessed it, my purple sponge. Lesson learned. But remember this if you’re going to use Red Slime Remover or Chemi Clean. Good luck.

2020年7月2日 · I’ve bought this red tree sponge a day ago, it is pretty but I noticed today there is a white spot on it that wasn’t there a day ago. Is it dying? Is it toxic to my tank? Is it better for me to remove it before it starts deteriorating and killing my other corals? Thanks. I attached the photo of it without the white spot and with it.

2022年9月5日 · My red ball, as well as several encrusting red sponges, have not grown at all in the time that I have had them. I have three elephant ear sponges. Two have not grown. The third is pretty unique. I had it for about a year and was doing well. One day it got knocked into an unreachable spot in the rocks.

2018年1月25日 · The spider sponge is a difficult invert to care for... The thing about them is the white "polyps" are actually a parasitic Zoa that encrust on the sponge. If the Zoa is doing well and starts growing it will eventually suffocate the sponge. But if you can somehow get the sponge to grow fast enough they can be a beautiful addition to the aquarium.

2018年7月13日 · There is no way to label a sponge good or bad based on genus some tanks select, some tanks suppress, your indicator was inability to remove it (strong growback). I had an acan frag that was approaching 7 years old with this …

2018年2月16日 · Just to comment here, for these specific sponges (Ptilocaulis sp. in this case, though this comment also applies to the Red Tree Sponge, Amphimedon compressa, which is sometimes sold as Orange Tree Sponge as well), they actually do fine in exposed, moderate to brightly lit, shallow waters in nature (though I suspect they prefer low, turbulent flow despite …

2021年7月10日 · Has anybody ever seen or know what this is? It was attached to the bottom/rock of a Cynarina coral which has been dipped twice in Coral RX Pro. Dip didn’t shift it but it came off pretty easily with a small pick, only other critter found was a bristleworm that’s since been dealt with. Thanks in advance
