the internet might have some resources. can try pm bro fuel. he will know.

looks like brooklynellosis. very common in WC clowns. have encountered this in almost 80% of all the clowns i buy that is wild caught. mostly infect clowns but i have encountered this disease on my royal gramma before. i dunno much about it. fuel or Joe P will know how to deal with it. its like velvet's twin sister IMO... heard about velvet? its stuff nightmares are made of

i think he buy from lee-hua jewellery

too late on the neon goby

hi HM! i bought this long before our trip to CF. decided to give it to bro reddevilz instead of keeping it. had initial thoughts of selling my existing mandarin, but decided not to. and since both the red one and my current one are males, decided to give the red one to reddevilz. the one i bought from CF that day was a female red mandarin. i'm keeping it now and its still with me paired up with my male blue one. so now have an odd couple haha.

ooo sting.. sssssssssssssssssssss.. u very bad!

ok. later if u come my house, i follow u home ok? i steal whatever i want from ur tank. think 20 plastic bag enough lah hor

very nice hor ur tank now. 1 day must go ur house see ur tank. and steal your food, lodging and drinks , steal ur dog, steal ur car etc etc hhahha j/k i really love ur naokoae too. i prefer it in this photo. the black is nicer than the red

i recognise that rosyscale!! its the one with the dot on the tail haha! no problem lah. u drive me around and help me so much. the exquisite was the least i could do. and i know ur an avid lover of rare fish. thats's why i keep insisting u get that 1.

confirm with me before you drop by luh btw that exquisite is very rare. take good care of it! my favourite wrasse of all time. i love the transparent fin outlined with red! striking!

exquisite so nice wt haha!? shouldnt have show it to u walao when u wan come my haus and plae game wif mie? my rockband collect dust liao

eh u so lucky. he give u 1/4 polyp. he tried to sell my back my own zoas that i gave him, at 600% profit.

i found the goby!! feeding and very beautiful haha

chances are very slim. most die of starvation over many many months. sometimes, reefers who keep them are tricked into a false sense of accomplishment when their scallops are not dead after many months. such animals can take over 12 months to slowly starve to death, where food is enough to only keep them alive, but still insufficient for long term sustenance. in order to keep these beautiful scallops alive, one must have a deep sand bed and a fuge that generates alot of planktonic and fine suspension of food for them to consume. this is also not very sufficient, and regular feeding of phytoplankton and other similar plankton-kind of foods. success will be awarded only if you are super hardworking and have the correct conditions for it to survive. even in the hands of the most experienced reefers, they still wither away after awhile. certainly not easy. not just any planktonic suspension food is suitable for them too. it has to be of the correct size for them to consume.

very glad to hear that!. sorry if i jump the gun. just get quite annoyed when i see these kind of livestock being kept. they belong in the ocean, and not in our tanks.

got a very nice alpha male solar from ahbeng so i can understand hwo u feel towards fairy wrasses. once u dip ur toes into them. u cant stop. could that wrasse be this? first picture, a velvet wrasse. second one, commonly known as radiant wrasse.

oh alright. if can describe the appearance will be better. so what gem did u bag for yourself?

sigh. flame scallop.... please don't buy them anymore and research before buying. the chances for survival for this poor little guy is next to none. they require heavy feeding of phytoplankton and other fine suspension food. one of the toughest filter feeders to feed that inevitably starve to death. much less in a tank so new, chances are even slimmer. please research on your next purchase

any idea what those tok kong wrasses are? ID?

all clowns start their lives as males, and will change sex into a dominant female in due time. in a pair, a female will emerge.

the corals have been there for very very long already. Try going there the next time during shipment of coral and fishes. their acans are no horse run.

yes. corals such as blastos and pratas. from last shipment

if its indeed fin rot, the fish's fins will be gone in a matter of days. sometimes in one day, 50% can be eaten away. depends on the severity. could also be a mild case of lymph. occasionally my fishes have this problem. will clear in a few days with god food and water quality. a picture will confirm it.

very nice as usual. what wrasse? isit behind the blue tang. the one with the pink head. exquisite?

picture will be great. sometimes could be lymphocystis which may give a look of "rotting", but is actually harmless
