    Ok the other day I noticed that this was growing on my LR. Is this from me leaving my lights on to much? Sorry for the crappy pics. It is very bright green. 24g nano

    Could be some coraline starting. There are many many colors of coraline. What does the texture of it look like?

    May still be a little early to tell...But right now Im gonna take a stab at it and say coraline. If it starts growing fuzzy or hairy, then I was wrong. lol By the way, hows your damsel doing today?

    As I was taking those pics he decided to pop out. Still very apprehensive. IDK maybe he wanted to model for the camera. He is still very shy which he never was before. I was going to be adding a clown very soon wonder if thats not such a good idea.. And I hope you are right about the Coraline. Again I appreciate all the help. Sorry for the crappy pics.

    No problem! As far as the clown goes, I'd wait and see what your damsel does first just to be on the safe side. Good luck!

    I was meaning the way your damsel is acting as far as adding the clown. Im just wondering since your yellow tail is in hiding right now, and is the least aggressive out of the damsels, that putting the clown in right now might keep him from coming out for even longer. But then again it could also help bring him out sooner as well...Go ahead and give it a shot if you want.
