perverted sea ponies. looks like u have a corrupt bunch of livestock! seahorses that like X rated stuff, mandarin fish that enjoys murder for fun! HAHA!! and ur one legged porcelain crab. where is it btw?

huh u mean its not meh? lol it looked like it leh D:

not really. they are aggressive but usually only towards other inverts. they are not those killing machines that go around deliberately eating small clownfishes. don't worry. just dun add 2 boxers together unless u wan them to tear each other apart haha! it is up to you if you want to remove it. depends on the individual. some are more tolerant while others really enjoy being a bully. prodivde more rocks and caves for it to establish a territory

nice blotchi!! its bigger than ur LR! haha

boxer shrimps are very aggressive. seen them catch and eat small fishes like chromis before. the porcelain crab is a very peaceful natured invert and most likely was defending itself against the boxer shrimp and not looking to pick out a fight.

red plates look soo unatural!! like dyed! LOL btw ur mushroom growing in basement one is dam nice man!

lol. how come -.- go lfs need to see sooo detail one meh?

maybe. i lost my specs so cannot see so detailed things lol >.>

that is a porcelain crab. live in anemones especially carpet anemones. i have one living under my torch coral. it is peaceful, filter feeder. and may occasiaonlly eat bigger pieces of food. willl not harm the clownfish. however, if a clown fish is hosting anemone, the crab may choose to live there too. then they will compete for space but the crab usually ends up losing. no worries. harmless and a great addition to a reef tank

i see.. thanks for the clarification. i never knew gobies can change sex like other fishes

all luck la. my other pair of cardinals are showing signs of spawning too.. apogon seali. my seale's cardinalfish... heng buy 2 and end up 1 male 1 female also.

my rics have just split into 2 about 10 mins ago when i was spot checking my tank for crabs staring so hard to find the mouth but can't find it. will it die without a mouth!?

yes boss! will get to work ASAP (: to tell u the truth, it already stung my previous colony of zoos...watch the tentacles stick to the zoo and created a little burn mark. what to do...its so big ):

u sure its a royal gramma? o.O $5 is very cheap leh! haha. could be a bicolour pseudochormis.

does ur tank have an overflow system? wavemakers? is the surface of ur water stagnant and ur water flow minimal? if yes to all, then there is a high chance ur water is low i O2. good water movement and aeration will ensure good gas exchange

the other side doesnt have a mouth yet leh.. btw is it REALLY splitting? coz i tot they will grow another mouth first before doing so?

WOW!

isit the black tang so small meh? i know its small but i din know its around 2" plus. estimated i tot 3" sorry bout that haha

dun dare to snip...just let it tear by itself haha

wat weird behaviour? all gasping for air? if this is so, can be either lack of oxygen or high ammonia/nitrite. check ur water parameters. probably coz no skimmer and over feeding henry's food.

oo. not sure. they like to dig holes.

coral farm have some yashas and randalli pistols if ur interested.

3 becoz they are really expensive lol. if im not wrong, a paired goby can share a burrow with one pistol. i have seen 2 gobies and 2 shrimps together in the same burrow. or 2 gobies and 1 shrimp, or 1 shrimp and 2 gobies. they are really quite flexible. i bought 3 yashas because i wanted 2 to pair with my randalli pistol each, and the other to pair with my tiger pistol....but they have seem to be confused and lost right now. all separated from their shrimp counterparts...i wonder if they will find each other eventually. pairing them is easy because males can be differenciated from females by the present of a black spot on their pelvic fins.

my yasha goby and my shrimp cant find each other ): how ah? lol...

isit randalli pistol shrimp?
