slowed growth...
Not necessarily a detrimental affliction but certainly worth considering.
I only recently removed my toadstool about 2 months ago, I guess i can look forward to some accelerated growth.

Thanks Aquattro

So maybe I should get rid of the leather first?

Snappy;

I think if I saw your tank in person the last thing I would notice would be a hermit :mrgreen:

I've never kept softies, but many people report that carbon deals with the chemicals.

get rid of it or run carbon...
Carbon is pretty cheap, just make sure you get a brand that your lfs recommends for reefs...not all carbon is created equal..

You could put some in a hob filter or if you're skimmer has a place for some media...

Might be a little more tricky in a sumpless tank..
Though Im pretty sure you could rig a phosban reactor up as a hob type deal and put carbon in it.

Also, you could just keep it and accept that the growth of your other corals might be subdued, again, I had one for a long time and I still had growth in my other corals, so it didn't slow me up tot he point that I was asking wtf and my toad was HUGE...

I'll be watching now though for a difference.

Confirmed. It'd be a growing wetness down the side of your leg =)

Hmmm...I can think of two reasons this may happen but I don't know which one you meant. One is funny and the other is...funny too but also kind of weird :lol:

I just use an old aqua clear filter and put a media bag filled with carbon in it. I have it hanging on my sump.
