yikai

went there afternoon....look high and low for AT dun have leh!? achilles tang leh. boss oso told me all no more liao. on a side note, they have lots of duncan corals. but not for sale ):

first one is a plate coral. second is a favia and third is a blastomussa. this is a holthuisi anemone shrimp. the "goo" its a red goniopora.

i think what he means is that once u buy back to SG, u cannot go back and complain or follow up. unless u wanna buy another ticket to HK. lol

hmm..i see u feed ur tang 4 times a day. he should be getting enough. in the wild, tangs are very active and eat 24/7. they spend the whole day swimming and grazing. thus they have a high appetite and are very active. must make sure they are getting enough to eat. maybe it has some internal parasites?

hehe but worth it right? i saw his blueface very intense colour and was feeding.

!? wa dam shud have gotten them!! dam la HAHA! coral farm so far...dunno when is the next time im going back ):| btw, to answer those who pm me rock beauties 3'5" queens, L to XL

no la lemons brighter

forgot to add. coral farm had some seahares which i have never seen before! it is black/brown with very nice neon blue rings. at first i tot it was a blue ring octo....but then cannot be coz they keep in floating bsaket. and on closer inspection, IT WAS A SEA HARE!! very nice colour!

its the mass feeding i do to the sun coral that also causes the increase in NO3. haha! so its the feeding not the crap thats in my water. anyway, NO3 has gone down ALOT since i have been doing tons of water change for the pass 3 days -.- looks good now (:

they are aso growing more heads from the main colony =P

no la. my tank as u can see, corals all so simple, fish all so simple. thus can produce results la. i try sps i tell u....whole tank barren HAHA!

went to coral farm today and LCK to see see. very nice ROCK BEAUTIES from LCK. but din get anything. went to coral farm to buy more water to change, and also a linkia for my shrimps and 5 nassarius snails to add to my cleanup crew. also this 2 beautiful feather worms. my naughty fish want to bite them but they are too quick hehe.

LCK - no more AT, - lots of beautiful queen angels - very nice rock beauties - flameback - royal gramma - black cap - TONS of yellow tang - i dunno some wrasse/hogfish i dunno name - yellow cheek wrasse - cuban hog - jaw fish - blue spotted jawfish - maroon clowns - picasso trigger - fire shrimps - peppermint shrimps - sailfin tang - foxface - chromis - flame angels - and summore i cannot remember CF - Saron shrimps aiya...everything oso got lol. alot of cute 2" squamosa.

thats my one and only ric! haha. actually i had 2. one was orange. but my hermit crab knocked it into my torch coral and it got stung till it died T_T found it the next morning, under my torch coral and the tentacles all stuck to my orange ric. gone case liao. started to melt.

lol! dam funny u...XD

and my mini yuma/ric garden. despite the NO3 bloom, they seem to be opening up bigger bigger bigger! i guess mushies love a little bit of dirt in their tank haha! they are even reproducing (: can u see small tiny yumas growing from the rock next to the big one? haha

my sun coral produced what seem to be baby suns!! the planule or whatever u call it settled and grow into miniature sun corals. they are ALL OVER my tank. even on the glass. it is yellow calcerous tube with alot of tiny transparent tentacles. have confirmed with henry that it is either sun coral, or the rare corynactis. but quite unlikely its the latter. my camera is not good enough to take such detailed shots. u can only see the yellow calcerous growth, sans the white tanticles.

tested my NO3, and oh my. it was quite high! have been doing water changes past few days and it has gone down alot (: will be doing more water changes to get my NO3 down! haha. however, corals and fish don't seem to be suffering any ill effects, infact, they seem to be doing quite well! i guess thats one of the dangers, you dont realise ur NO3 is so high until u actually test it. on a happier note, i finally found my white xenia in iwarna! finally after relentless searching. they had alot but all of them looked like in bad condition and gonna melt anytime soon...i took 2 that looked the healthiest and brought it home, hoping for the best. well, after 3 days, no casualty so far! tried to frag some but all my frags melted. im a lousy fragger.. ): the mother colony seems to be doing well though. no pulsing yet....im hoping it will pulse soon (: anyway, enough blabbering. some pics of it. bear with me, lol, im quite exited for my white xenias that i had to take so many pictures.

they look like aliens. i wun dare touch one HAHA. if u ask me touch a xanthid angel or a normal angel, of coz normal one. =x

dun think so. different colour but same fish should be same behavioural pattern also. if anything, it should be determined by the individual fish instead of the colour. but i have to say, those xanthid fish looks dam scary haha

waaa big queen!! eh show the blueface leh

looks like some kind of growth to me. like a cyst. or a tumour of sorts.. looks kinda like alot of zoa pox growing on one area. D: i dunno how to advice also

eh nice!! is this radiata?

oh thanks for explaining the SCWD (: have a safe flight and enjoy urself in HK!

everynight also i hear lol. i think i got 10+ LOL! no la. not so many. but i know i confirm got some mantis...and i saw one pistol before. very huge. 2". pistol shrimp dun click so often la. they only click then whey are threatened. and their clicks are not loud. and its usually not very fast consecutively. its like, click....click....click.... (for pistol). mantis on the other hand. click faster and louder. its like clickclickclickclick. =D now i know why all my small inverts keep MIA....
