They developed white spots on the face and the skirts on ALL the polyps are white. All other zoas and palys are fine... Possible bleaching? Haven't moved them and have been fine until today. I did feed them some danichi pellet food a couple days ago. Other than that, no changes.

Any thoughts?

Today was one of those rare days for me and my systems, where I could just sit and look at my little chunks of ocean like a 5 year old with wonder and awe!
Days like today make it ALL worth it and remind me why I do and spend as I do for this great hobby!

Mother's Day 2012 is observed on the second Sunday of May and celebrates the important roles that mothers serve in society. Anna Jarvis of West Virginia started the holiday in 1908 to pay tribute to mothers, but it wasn't until 1914 that President Woodrow Wilson made the holiday official by signing it into law.


Mother's Day 2012 will be one of the most commercialized holidays in the United States, and sales for gifts peak during the days preceding Mother's Day. It is common for children to buy gifts, flowers, and cards for their mothers on Mother's Day. England also has an equivalent holiday to Mother's Day called "Mothering Day" that is celebrated on the fourth Sunday during the month of Lent. ]]> The Refugium plankton http://www.azreefs.com/forums/showthread.php?4302-Remember-Mom-Sunday-May-13th-!

Stopped in there today with fishntyme and noticed the store looking a biiiit empty, we looked and were basically like WTF are they closing down.

After talking a few minutes with Don come to find out they are closing but opening at a better location on 35th ave and Greenway, I believe he said NW corner. Adding another 800 sq ft to what TT currently has. And it's not hidden behind everything like where he is now. Anyone that's been there knows that the shopping center he's located in is pretty barren.

I believe he said the store will open tomorrow, but most of the saltwater section won't be there until Saturday (he said look for the big sign). Most of the fresh and reptiles seems to be there already.

Glad he's opening up a bigger shop, there aren't enough LFS this far north and west. ]]> Local Fish Store Information Willow01 http://www.azreefs.com/forums/showthread.php?4298-New-Tropical-Treasures-info
