But lately, I am in to having more Zoas and SPS!!!

I know right.. Welcome to the dark side!!!!

Some SPS have been with me for a quite some time, while some are new. Personally for myself, I would go for frags rather than colonies as I can feel the satisfaction of watching them grow in my tank..

Those that have grown....

Good morning everyone..

Thank you all for the kind words.

Personally I feed my corals twice a week with zooplankton and phytoplankton.. Namedy Aquapharm 5 in 1 coral food and MarineSnow,

as well as weekly frozen foods such as rotifiers and cyclop-eeze.

I mixed in Fauna Marin Ultra Ricordea/zoanthus food to my fish food to let it flow throughout the tank.

Fish food mix include New Era aegis pellets, New Era algae pellets and APBreed Otohime TDO, as well as weekly frozen foods such as mysis and brine shrimps..

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
