hmm actually I am already very very amazed. haha. these are 1 hella mean sea star eating machine. just hope they'll manage to hunt some pest sea star (though have not seem them for some time *fingers crossed* ). u don't happen to keep any sea star now do u?

hmm thanks for the timely info bro! else i would have been a murderer haha. will monitor the remains and speed of consumption by the shrimps.

hey bro, first time keeping harlequin, as with the starfish arms, my first time cutting them too, i cut the arms with heavy heart, feeling sorry for the helpless creature. BUT, as fragile as they look these blue linckia sea star's are very very tough to cut, u'll need a gardening cutter to have an easy slice, even so it can take a while too. My guilt was a bit lesser when I told my self that even a single arm can regrow into a new sea star, though according to net search, it can take anything from weeks to months for the regeneration process, I'll probably buy more sea stars and cut them up in to individual arms and leave the main body to regrow the new arms, if not the shrimp is likely to finish the entire thing off. In some sense more economical. As to cutting your sea star? Sure if we stay near by, if not, just tell yourself, it's a natural way for sea stars to escape with even 1 arm and regrow again.

yeah, you should have seen law's female, it's HUGE. unfortunately, mine doesn't seem like they're pair, the male kept attacking the 1 arm female. now both are in main tank hunting for their meals. jus curious, how many you have? since ur nick is Harlequin mania saw some old posting of this Viet. guy who has 12 in a tank. looks cool.

wah bro!!!!!!!!!! sad to hear your losses man! hmm think ppl who keep fish-only tank would be idea, as aiptasia can still latch on LR even though it's a fish-only tank.. worst case scenario.. donate it to ur fav LFS ba good thing is.. alot of bros here sell and trade super nice zoas, like Cedric the rare coral guy, and the occasional others.. all the best for ur zoa recovery bro!!!

Hey bro Onizuka! thanks, think the growth was very fast when I used purple up and with MH blasting the old set of LR seem to grow very quickly, but have stop for very long already.. heard stories of corals dying with too much purple up.. and now the newer center LR's coraline is grow super super slow. gee.. i jus bought a multiplug from best denki already, 4 plugs for $7.80, it comes with safety sign, but no surge protector, anyhow will buy 1 when I see it at Sheng Siong yeah man.. hopefully the disaster will never come again! when tt plug thing happened, it cut off the power of my entire set up except for the compressor and the water in my sump plummet to about 19 degrees quite quickly , and my whipfin wrasse died in it, was still thinking of adding a nakao in the sump.. but guess better not, else another frozen fish.

haha, let's say hi to each other next time!

yeah seem to improve alot of things.. u got iwarna to w/c for u?

U're the most dedicated AT keeper out there man! you made sure there's really variety , red bamboo, nori, pellets, frozen food etc. and got food soaks etc hey bro, i've cut out the arms of the Blue Linckin and left them to regrow and serve as food for the Harlequin to hunt Hey there CFOh thanks man.. still trying to improve it and waiting for the coraline algae to grow on those greenish center LRs... hmmm were u the 1 who went GO with a malay fren bout 2 weeks back and bought zoas?

haha yeap, really grateful man. Bro I sense you wanna keep 1 more fish now?

and FTS for October.. removed some LR from the top part of the tank. hmm tank is very empty still.. time for more corals.

some random shots of fishes and corals.

and red scooter blennies male and female, didn't have the chance to see the male flare.

anyways, here are some latest addition : Hawaii harlequin shrimp, unfortunately, the male always attacks the female when I place them both together. I've released the male into the main tank, while leaving the female in the betta box until she has a new pair of pincers.

hmm can imagine when u start to work full time after ur studies, ur tank will be stocked up with ultra exotic and rare gems be it corals or fishes, and wouldn't be surprise if u author a book on rare marine hobby fishes.

hmm saw the 1st 1 at ah beng yesterday, tot it was cave basslet, haha now i know it's some unnamed fish.

yeah, thank the Higher Up. somemore this plug is placed on the wooden cabinet, can't imagine if no 1 is at home.

I did smell some plastic scent this afternoon, but i didn't know it was the plug and assumed it was nothing serious. This particular multi-plug bar is bought from those Wu Jing Dian in loose pieces for DIY assembly. I was careless not to realize that it did not have the Safety Mark Sign, so bros/sis, pls ensure that the plugs you guys buy have tt safety seal and sign. and hopefully this won't happen to any 1 else.

now diaster just struck again, this time round is my multi-plug bar! luckily my bro was at home and he saw some smoke coming out and turned off the main switch.... in the last pic shows the distortion of words etc of the casing from the melted part.

hey bro, hope it helps too, will be turning it on next week instead, now tank is under medication. but there's a lot of improvement!

hmm mitratus butterfly is nice though, any idea what's the rough price for a 2- 3 inch ? assuming if they do come in this size

icic, anyway in tt case u'll have some exclusivity since there's not many butterfly enthusiast

bro think u forgotten to indicate the price good luck for ya sales!

congrats on getting this fish dude, it's 1 of the only 2 that was there, and u've got the better 1 and very lucky that this fish made it despite the flight delay, some of the DOA were rotting with no eyes left. anyhow, hope it'll morph into the yellow 1 tt u're hoping for!
