• Signs/Symptoms of Overt
Aggression/Poisoning
•Prevention:
1. Space: For dilution and
spacing specimens, providing varied habitats
2. Careful stocking plan,
selection, placement, order
3. Securing, sequestering of
individuals, colonies.
4. Adequate feeding,
lighting/regimens, circulation
5. Biological, Physical and
Chemical filtration, augmentation, efficient skimming
6. “Good maintenance”… Water
changes et al.
•Treatment for Effects
1.Moving in emergencies
2.Water changes
3.Use of chemical filtrants, cleaning of skimmer/s

•Cnidarians:
1.Polyps not opening, wilting, burned
appearing, decolorizing.
2.Skeletal septa and skeleton showing
through.
3.Slowing, ceasing, redirecting of growth.
•Fishes:
Rapid or slowed breathing and
movement… death.
•Algae:
Bleached appearance, especially in
direction of cnidarians. Slimy dissolution.

•STUDY! Read, confer with other reefers… to assemble a working
assortment.
•Buy/Procure captive-produced stocks… they get along better. Otherwise,
do quarantine/stabilize new
purchases.
•Provide adequate initial, “stinging”, expansion and growth space between
specimens.
•Go slowly… often cnidarians “get used to” each other over time.
•Keep your system in “dynamic equilibrium”… through regular monitoring
and maintenance.
