need help catching blenny

[Reef Pilot]

Actually, I've had the tips of some birdsnest frags die on me when they were out of the water too long. This happened when I removed my frag rack for some cleaning in my DT, and it was out of the water a little longer than I had planned. All my other SPS frags were OK, but several of the birdsnest tips were damaged. I guess they are so thin, and just don't hold the water as much as the others.

OK. I've always been told not to have clams or sponges exposed to air. Never felt the need to test it out with one of my own clams

Learn something new every day. Thanks Brad for this info. I still don't have the nerve to leave my clams sitting out for half an hour.

Corals, I'm not so worried about. When I'm fragging or doing a big water change, the corals may be exposed for more than a few minutes, usually with no ill effects.

draining tank to catch goby failed.... his home is under the main rock that holds all the rockwork in my tank together. I wasnt able to reach him so i gave up and filled tank back up.. any1 know any other ideas or should i just get a fish trap? seems a rip off for 1 time use

You could try to corral him in a corner with eggcrate or such, then remove the remaining rock and net him

Man so many of my sps got bleached at the very top parts if them. Is this cuz they got burnt by my led without water protecting them? I normally turn my lights to about 5% when I do big water change but this time I forgot to for about 10mins. The whole top half of my birdnest is now fully white. Here a pic of my tri-colored nana with its tips bleached. Will they ever recover or should I snip it off?
