    I made an attempt at subduing some of the glass anemones nearest to some of my coral. I had one fail...one was really close to my chalice and the darn Joes juice syringe got clogged. I foolishly continued to apply pressure to the plunger and had a "what'd you expect to happen " moment. It spread all over my chalice and I wafted off as much as I could by hand.

    The result nearly 24 hrs. Later....[​IMG]

    You can see areas of bare skeleton. There's another patch in back that can't be seen in this photo. Can chalice recover from this sort of trauma or is it done for? TIA

    Berghia's are being ordered next week...death to them all!
