Ctenophore's
So i want to know what your take is on these i am prefferably looking for personal experiences opposed to publications.
Here is a good link if you dont know what they are. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-03/rs/index.php I have had some kicking around my tank for a while now and am just wondering what peoples experiences are with them. i have found that my rics dont react well to them . i think the sweepers are having a negitive effect on my corals rics espicially. i had a different thread going on them and now am looking for answers to wheather or not they sould be taken out. they seem to be fine aside frome the fact that the coral around them is not doing as well as normal. they live on a large piece of toadstool which is fine until they climb onthe top. Anything????????????????? Thanks in advance.

If they irritating the corals, then I would certainly remove them. You have a coral tank, right, not a ctenophore tank? LOL But, like all other things that are on the reef. If they are not causing harm...

I've seen those critters all over the place. I can't remember what I have heard them called, but it wasn't "ctenophore". Ctenophores are jellyfish.
Drock169...you guys have some of these guys (that El Guappo pictured) in the bank of gorgonians, gobies, sponges, etc. Renee knows what these things are called. Last edited by Myka; 05-21-2008 at 05:15 AM.
