Have a loose frag of Xenia with 4 stalks selling for $30... Interested please pm me as it is sloted into a hole on my rockscape if it startes to attached, it will be difficult to take out..

Main tank will not be ich free unless you copper or ozone.. Uv will only prevent a ich outbreak.. Having a QT is mainly to get the fish to get well and gain weight and immunity to fight for food in the main tank and not get hit by the ich so badly and able to cope with the initial infection..

Thought of doing a documentation since I didnt do any last time when i recovered a few other seafans..

Yes, there is a possibility but the chances are very slim.. Our captive tank is enclosed environment, the water is circulating in the fixed amount of water, no matter how you change water, there is still parasite such as ich in the system.. It is not like a open ocean where the ich might be present but not able to spread to the whole ocean and not visible, but after you catch the fish with ich in a enclosed environment, it reproduce and live in the tank and infecting all the fishes in the tank which will not happen in the wild as the parasite will take time to infect fishes, even if it is able to find a host within their short lifespan, the seriousness of the infection is not very serious as they already have immunity .. Pathogen are not toxin but they are still being dispersed and can spread but take in mind they are living thing and have a lifespan and if they dun have ecological competence or not able to survive in the ecology they will be dead, most pathogen exist becos of a certain requirement that is present in the host.. It makes no sense that the volume or space dun make any difference, The density of the pathogen in a 5litre and a 50litre is different.. The fishes in a 5 litre is likely to get infected more easily that a 50 litre one... It is the same as you fart in the lift, everyone can smell but if you fart in the a shopping mall, only those surrounding you will get to smell it but as it disperse it get less and less smelly.. If you are not very supportive of releasing a fish back into the wild even in their own environment, I guess you are not a supporter of any animal/marine rehabilitation center which rehabilitate injured wild animal and releasing them back into the wild... There is also a chance that the animal is carrying pathogen from us human and release into the wild.. Intraspecies transmission is very slim as most pathogen will have to go thru a evolution to adapt to the new host, like the avian Influenza, transmission from birds to pigs and then to us.. But the pathogen is of a different strain everytime..

Bought a injured seafan with a bald spot and attempt to make it recover as I have a few success story without any documentation... Taken on 22-09-12 Taken on 25-09-12 Only in 3 days, it is starting to grow back, Will take another photo once it is fully recovered.

Pathogen like? If it is harboring pathogen, I dun think it will be able to survive long in captively and I mean "our local water:" is not a enclosed environment like the a lake or catchment area which there is a chance if there is a disease outbreak, it will affect the whole lake ecosystem. Anyway they are brackish water fishes, which are found at the outlet to the sea, the chance of the pathogen spreading in very minimal as the water volume is too big, the exact reason why fishes dun get ich in the wild unless you can find a fish with ich in the wild then I take back my words. I only hear about wild caught fishes infecting captive bred and tank raised fishes.. Not the other way round... Maybe some expert can shed some light on these?

Scat is found in local water and not a foreign species.. So there is no problem of releasing them into the local sea... Not asking you to release a foreign species like red ear terrapins which is not found in singapore ecosystem and destroying the ecosystem...

I cant change your mind set if you still thunks that is okay to put a clown trigger with other small fish and in a small tank where there is not enough space. You will be left with a trigger in your tank..

Nope, from what I experience they grow quite fast a minumun 3ft..

Selling a Skimz FM150 Fluidized Reactor, Come with a minor modificaton(will post picture at night after work). Selling at $60 Collection at Jurong West Ave 3.. Can contact me @ 91994460.. Thanks..

Cycling with livestock, I really wonder which lfs is that, that is always telling new reefers this.. Anyway, dun even bother the bioload becos they nudibranch will not even survive in captivity.. They need specialized diet, until now marine biologist are still not sure what they are eating in the sea and can only say, they are feeding on sponges and corals.. there are also a lot of species of sponges and on top of that they are not easy to keep.. You can do away with the skimmer if you can do mini water change everyday, like 5-10%.. As for clown and damsel, depending on which species of damsel it is then it might be the only fish in your tank..

Erm, it is Garibaldi Damsel

Female Halichoeres marginatus...
