im just extremely annoyed with the "experts" that offer solutions like "perform a waterchange"

how is that at all helpful? telling someone to perform a waterchange is basically antagonizing them.

"oh your car wont start? put some gas in it"

i come on here to try and get some actual answers and insight. not someone with 5000 posts telling me to do a waterchange and then getting all ****y when i tell them i've either already done one or i've ruled that out

and then theres people posting threads about how their fish died and people respond with condolences.

Id be embarrassed to post that one of my fish died. It would mean that i did something completely wrong.

People keep fish in the worst of conditions without any advanced filtration and yet they survive.

a fish dying thread should include replies asking the OP why the fish died and why they didnt offer necessities for its survival. No "awe poor guy, rip"



there just seems to be a "gang" of old school members that think they run this site or that it "belongs" to them. its just annoying

its that kinda attitude that never gets you any help, half the time you post bogus problems that dont exist, then whenever anyone tries to offer you advice you act like the advice is stupid....i bet if i were to go through your posts i could find five threads where you asked for advice then shut everyone down.....karma

Yes. Brown/gray polyps cover pink/green skeleton seems like a problem to me. I honestly thought it was a sign that I should be feeding this coral or that it requires more light

is this just the way it is or should the polyps be less extended?

you said to begin with its growing like crazy, the problem to you seemed to be too many fuzzy polyps...i dint see you post about its food requirements, that would have def gotten you a better response. it seemed to me and probably others that you were trying to boast or something.

i find it hard to believe that you did a search and could find nothing on polyp extension, and then yet you turn to the "experts" who in the past youve offended or simply said there advbice wasnt good enough.

sorry but im offering no sympathy, a new member can come on here and get all the answers he wants, we are all usually very nice , but when you burn your bridges(you remember me telling you this before) what do you expect??

thats how i seen it

Though a water change might help the polyps to retract. Lol
