No art is even close to the beauty of nature.

You realize around 1:33 or so in this video, you see two good sized bristle worms under your tubastrea...I'd look out about those man.

ummmm question do you have fish in that tank also? or just corals? How do you keep all those brime shrimp if you have fish in the tank as well? Dont they eat most of them or do you have a big load of brime shrimp in the tank?

@badvegan It just depends on the type. If you see any giant ones, those are no good. I once had an outbreak of them and had to get rid of them. I did so by getting a lunar wrasse.

Man your sun corals are looking really healthy. :)

At one time we all thought that bristle worms were the devil. Times change however and many people, myself included, keep large and diverse populations of them. I keep seahorses and pipefish with bristleworms and snails as the only clean up crew, they have been going strong for almost three years now with no problems.

@UndergroundWeekly the bristle worms are very prolific and can easily get out of control. They are difficult to get rid of if the inhabitants in the tank are not the kind to keep them under control. In small numbers they can be considered beneficial as clean up crew. (again depending on your inhabitants.) They don't necessarily pose a "threat" just by being there.

@tehzergboy Just a quick question! Why should he look out about those? I don't know anything about them, and would like to know!
This is one coral you should need to have a class on before purchasing it most die of starvation because some moron thinks it looks "so cool" and doesn't have a clue how to feed it!

@TheXforcer Thanks for commenting. I think with a lot of the corals or the cohabitants for aquariums (freshwater or marine) MOST hobbyists could use a class (or at least go to a forum) to do some research. I am often disturbed at how often animals are purchased without knowing the very basics of how to keep them alive.

Just ordered one of these corals. I'm super excited to add it to my tank! Thanks for the video.

@skindeepdc They are lovely creatures! Hopefully yours will acclimate quickly. It is so rewarding to see them thrive. Best of luck with your new tubby!
