I fed mine enough food but I still caught it plucking on the skirting of zoas. Only the female seems to do so.. I wouldn't risk it.. Some of those zoas that got most of their skirting eaten simply closed and slowly melted away.

It's our favourite time of the week again, reefers! And I'm once again due for another entry to track my progress. Got myself a tiny wave maker. It's about as tiny as they make them. I'm grateful t

Crap, that's unfortunate. I've got a bunch of zoas and 4 sexy shrimps. I do see them sitting in the polyps from time to time.

Should I be worried? Or is it a risk worth taking? Also, if anyone has any idea on how to get them all out that's be great. Haha.

I fed mine daily with pellets and made sure all 3 of my sexies got enough. End up still pluck my zoas. You've got some beautiful expensive zoas. I would say take them out ASAP. Use a net snd some food to lure them.

I chased them with my net last night and gave up after 5 minutes. Buggers escape under the rocks with just one twitch. But I'll try your food and net method tonight. Thanks man.

Strangely, while I have seen the sexies walking all over my Zoas, I had never seen them picking the skirts or munching the Zoas or my Clove Polyps, GSPs etc. Maybe I feed them too much.

Patrick,The skimmer I'm using is the one that came with the OF tank set. But I don't want to rely on it so I change my water twice a week.
Thanks. Mine is also OF tank but didn't come with skimmer:(

Happy fake Friday reefers!

Came home from a long day to my fish tank and 2 cats. I feel great.

Anyway. Here're are some pictures for today.

Recently acquired Fruit Loops are looking happy.

My royal gramma takes centre stage. I should give him a name. If you have suggestions that'd be great.

Some Purple Hornets.

Nice... Running a chiller? If yes, may I ask make and model and where to get it? Thanks sis.

Heyhey. I'm currently using a Dymax cooling fan while waiting for my ice probe to arrive in the mail. Would use a chiller but my house has no room for that.

Thanks ya .. Please update when u installed ice probe, I googled looks like must drill a hole at the back of tank. Thanks again.

Yup sure will. :) And since my tank's already up and running I can't drill a hole. Gonna improvise and let it rest at the IOS portion instead. I've been told it works just as well. But I'll keep you posted!

Hi Sweety, think ya tank is having a rather good start with signs of good zoas opening up nicely :thumbsup:

But i would advise that you keep that palys away from the smaller size zoanthids, over time when they all grown and starts to compete for space, the smaller size zoanthids may have to give way to the bigger brothers ( especially the dull green palys which i saw in your ealier pics ).

Have fun :yahoo:

Treat others the way you wanna be treated...

Hi Dr Ang. Thanks for the advice. Will do the necessary adjustments ASAP.

1:09am and I'm still sitting by my tank. Watching the fish and zoas "sleep" in darkness. I've become such a geek I amaze myself.

Here're are some pictures I took today.

Pink Zipper in sunlight. A lovely gift from a fellow reefer.

3 for $100 rics from Iwarna. The one on the extreme left is an intense blue, overexposed by the LED. So now lagi blue.

Pink Zipper at night. Nature is just mad, look at the speckled centre.

I'll conclude the post with Gangster Garoupa from Coral Farm.
