This is the cover article in Reef Hobbyist Magazine that I did for propagating rock anemones available at this link.

Feeding corals comes at the expense of water quality: the more you feed, the lower your water quality will get. Feeding corals will increase their growth, but the increased phosphates in the water can slow or stop growth altogether, so there's a careful balance that needs to be maintained. 

Watch this step by step how-to video showing you probably the easiest way to kill Acropora eating Red Bugs, or Tegastes acroporanus, if you can get the corals out of the tank.

Hopefully this text will help answer some much needed questions on how to effectively ship live saltwater corals and inverts. There's too many times that I'm reading a thread on RC that I see someone state that they'd be more than happy to trade or sell their coral, if they only knew how to ship it. So, for the many reefers out there that have the shipping itch, this one's for you.

Fortunately, there's a much better way that's not only faster and safer for the corals, but can save time and money in the long run.

...Chances are, you don't. There are so many products to put in your tank, that its sometimes overwhelming to even consider them all. Fortunately you can learn from the mistakes of other reef keepers, a few of which are included here.

First and foremost, if you have submersible Gen-x pumps IMMEDIATELY inspect the back of the pump for rust. There is a plastic cover on the back that is easily removable.

One of the most difficult pests to fully eradicate in most reef systems are the Zoanthid eating nudibranch.  With their uncanny ability to hitchhike into the tank in nearly any coral colony, and to spread into plague proportions at record speed, they have fully established their reputation as a pest that cannot be taken lightly.
