[edwing206]

Yup, yuma. Nice one too.
That's a trippy avatar Zach! If only it changed colors and moved super fast.

 

[disaster999]

Thanks, another question...why does my ric seem to be regurgitating some brown slimmy stuff from time to time?

also, i read that i should feed the ric, how and what do i feed it?

 

[Reef Goddess]

Thats what they do when they're stressed out. They expell zoanthelle. (sp)

 

[disaster999]

thats not good...besides water parameters, what else could stress them out? too much/little light, too much/little flow, hungry?

 

[Reef Goddess]

Just being new and yumas are just a pain, but that doesn't mean its doomed.
