Some free sps I got today...hopefully they will recover.. here they are being epoxied.

Those acro crabs..size about the 1/3 the length of small finger..

Wah..tunze so strong can suck up flame angel? Lucky boh get tunze..all my gobies will be gone...

Of the 2 eviotas I bought..only the neon eviota still around..the other eviota mia already. The neon eviota live in my pink birdnest colony, with 2 giant pink trapezia crabs..

Glad to know it has found a home. Anyway..bubble_gum you stay one mrt stop away from me!

You posted in wrong forum....

Goatfish won't dump sand on your corals like sandshifting gobies. However do take note that they can reach a considerable size.

Used to have one many years ago. Ate anything from newly introduced angels, shrimp and even flame scallops.

Can I have a frag too?

Hmmm..anthelias are actually much easier to care for compared to xenia.

Non-related to this post. But think I shall put it here rather than setup another thread. Another tank of TOTM standard. http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showphoto.p...rt=1&thecat=503

Ahaha...had that thought in my mind too.

My T5s have been up since last october? Till now I don't witness any significant reduction in growth rates.

IMO it is pointless performing a FW dip to cure ich if you do not have a separate quarantine tank. Once you put the fish back into the main tank, there will still be free floating stages of the ich parasite. You'll only end up stressing the fish more. 15 mins in FW is already considered the maximum period you should leave the fish in FW. IMO 5-10 minutes will be safer.

Yea...great advice. I'm dosing bioplankton everyday.

Did I see 2 black sea cukes? Think you should have only 1. 2 will starve in such a small tank over time... Try to cover the intake of the internal filter with some foam and rubberbands. You don't want sea cuke soup if one day the cuke decides to climb?

How long has this been happening? If it is just after the introduction of the clam it could be normal as the CS might just be picking off debri from the clam shell. Give it more time, I would be wary if this still happens on the 2nd day. Normally dying clams will release chemicals that will attract scavengers. Something like how an injured bleeding fish will attract a shark.

I know..but common names can be confusing. Last time they were called blue sea squirt. Now blue lollipop tunicate. Of cause must make sure if different species what.

If you want coralline algae you need to have calcium and kH levels at optimum. If you are fine with a corallineless tank then by all means dump the calcium test kit and the calcium additive. But you will still need to monitor kH to prevent it from dropping below 6 (will cause pH to fluctuate more, stressing your fish and corals.)

Fish larvae? Or maybe 50 neon gobies can fit in 3 liters?

Basic test kits you need are pH, kH, Ca, Nitrate test kits. Don't really need ammonia and nitrite test kits as long as you are patient with your cycling. Basic additives you need are anti-chlorine, calcium, and reef builder (to increase kH).

Depends on what type of eel. Moray eels have been known to eat lionfish that can fit into their mouths.

Most LFS should have. Esp those dealing with FW fish.

Anyone has pics of the blue lollipop tunicate available at ML? Tempted to go down..but this week rather broke.

Hai..my cocoworm just shed its crown after I got it for so many months. Been feeding regularly with bioplankton. Is it a normal phenomenon or is it stress related?
