MBDA project: Making coral bleaching & reef conservation easy to understand!
Goal: Engaging visuals + short explanations + live mini-tank to inspire students, locals, & groups to take action.
Mushroom corals are perfect—hardy, super colorful, polyps move visibly when healthy vs. stressed. A couple tiny baby frags (1-2 polyps each) would make this hands-on demo way more powerful than photos alone.

Any suggestion to improve my setup based on my coral?

I have a issue with my BTA seen at the end of the video. All my other corals are doing fantastic and really pushing out polyps. But the anemone has not wanted to get larger than it currently is. It moved there when I put it in the tank almost a month ago. Any tips or ideas what the problem could be?
This is my first saltwater it's a 10 gallon. I got it in July already set up. I lost my coral already as I'm new and learning. I added to my cleanup crew last month and now I'm debating if I should add coral or just keep it as is.Any ideas?
Is this a baby rock flower anemone!!?
Help with coral ID
I rescued this unknown frag from a clearance/bargain rack a month ago it wasn’t doing well and looked unhappy. The store employee who bagged it had no info on it, but I originally assumed it was an encrusting orange pavona due to its original color but now I think it was just browning out.
I did find its happiness and turned the coral around, it about doubled in size and is now displaying nice colors green, orange , and purple.
It seems to be thriving in moderately high lighting and flow.
Any tips on how to help the health of my tank? my kenya trees have both died and my tank seems to overall not be doing great.
I’m afraid my bubble tip anemone is not doing well. I found him down in the sand and set him up on a rock closest to the light but it looks like this (ignore unsightly green algae bloom I’m working on). parameters all have been good and stable.
I had a BTA and it died… the clowns were pretty excited when I introduced it. The make clown… Dennis… has bonded with the rock flower anemone. Anyone ever see this happen?
I’m so upset.. I bought a Duncan $12.99 and a $21.99 pin urchin and they both passed on today.. I bout them 2 days ago.. I won’t be going back to petco cuz I bought a sand sifting star 3 days ago and it’s happy going around the tank and everything. But I got my star from a different store.
I was so excited to have a Duncan as they are one of my favorite corals as well as an urchin… I know I shouldn’t give up, but i believe my water parameters are all normal. And everything else seems to be thriving..
I have had my anemones, for about 8 months now, do you guys think they’re healthy?

How often do you feed your anemones? And what are you feeding? Can you over feed them? Bubble tip more specifically. I got my first one a month and a half ago. The first advice I got my nem wasn’t happy with. I switched it up and now I’m feeding him a cube of frozen food every 4-5 days 😂 no idea if that’s right but he likes it. Also my clownfish still haven’t figured out he’s a friend so apparently they’ll just continue to live against my overflow.
