a few ?'s

Ok after I Lost 8 fish overnight to a starfish that I removed I replaced one of those fish. It was a lawnmower blenney that I replaced. The one I had was 6 and half inches long. well anyways the new one I have is about 3" long right now. When I bought it its belly was normal. not fat and not skinny. Well today I noticed that its stomach is huge. I almost thought it was pregnant. could this be a problem? I know its eating flake food but thats not all its eating. I dont have an algae problem so I dont really know what else it is eating cept maybe the hard green algae on the back glass(its also on front but I havent had time in last 2 weeks to clean the front glass). Any thoughts as to why this lawnmower blenny is really fat and if I should worry about it?

The next ? I have is has anyone seen a yellow Leather split? My yellow leather used to be round all the way around it. now the entire middle seems to be closing. It looks like a mushroom or ricordia splitting cept its bigger. if you look down at it the middle has a dark line going across where the trunk of the leather is "caving in". I think its splitting but not sure. all the yellow polyps are extending fully during the lights being on. The reason I think its splitting is because it looks like all the ricordia and mushrooms that I have had split.

The other ? is on frogspawn. is there such a thing as over extended polyps on frogspawn? It is amazing to watch my newly acquired frogspawn(actually ive had it a week) go from almost completly withdrawn to fully open. its a perty frogspawn.

Thanks for answer my ?'s =]. seems funny that I have had this tank up almost a year and a half and I still have ?'s.

ok sorry the pics arent the greatest. My camara doesnt have white adjustment on it. the first picture is of my $28 frag of zoa's. they arent fully open yet in the picture. also sorry bout the size. I dont like the fact I have to make it 340x340. makes for a small picture.

this picture is looking down at my zoa colony. as you can see there is water movement =]. dunno why the picture turned out so greenish but again I dont have an adjustment on my camara for whiteness and I dont have a good picture adjustment program. the centers are actually neon green centers but for some reason the camara made them look purple.

mostly they raise there body up off the substrate and when an ususpecting fish swims under it drops down on top of it. usually they only do it when they are underfed(like mine was).
