weileong's 4ft tank - Part II

[weileong]

My AT also not much interest in food in the beginning and I just flood the tank with bite sized NORI. Multiple feedings per day and stable parameters and strong current should keep your AT alive. From the fourth month onwards I managed to switch it over to pellets and only daily feedings when I am in town, other wise no feeding.

Now it rush for pellets like the rest of the fishes.

Wowww, that's awesome Wei Leong!

It must have been quite a sight, I've seen both my acro crabs and sally lightfoots spawn and the fish go into a frenzy!

2 - 3 months later, I see these tiny acro crabs in a few of the sps colonies. A few must have survived.

[sunny03]

are these crab good ??

i have 2 white colour shell

[weileong]

Seems like I have to start checking for those crab off-springs.

Maybe can start trading those acro crabs soon lol.

[Jimng]

Bro, 1 question, do you see only 1 sps crab on this colony or there are more than 1, i am thinking whether they go to other colonies to mate?, usually see them stick to their own colony only......

[weileong]

There's two crab in that colony. I saw them moving to the colony next to their home at times.

Those are bigger than the normal acro crab that we see in those SPS.

Wei Leong, nice piece. I got something similar and am hoping the same thing, that it will hold colour. Think it requires strong light to maintain the white-purple tips. How high up did you place yours?

Saturday's PR shipment

[weileong]

Daniel, I put it up for ID in zeovit forum and one guy said it's a tricolor A. Valida.

I placed mine at the highest point in my tank ard mid-level that's abt 1ft down, almost directly under the MH lights, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

The shipment is really good, heard AT took 1 big box after we left.

[danano]

They probably identified is as a valida coz they did not see the full piece, ID based just on the tip colors in the pic you posted.

It's a table, so could be a soli.

Mine sits smack in between all my T5s, 8 inches from the surface.

I heard about the large purchase too. If he got there sooner, he may have walked out with 2 boxes.

[Chris]

Why is AT always buying in boxes? I suspect he is stocking up a new fish shop in Toa Payoh!!!

Think this is not allowed here and he deserves a yellow card!

BTW this piece quite nice. I've been out of buying for too long. Tempted to make more space in my tank!

[weileong]

Space can always make one

[weileong]

Another one from PR sat's shipment. Can't capture the color properly.

LS you have priority to the first frag

[weileong]

Another 2 more from PR.

Actually, my SPS crabs likes to travel alot. They will shift to another acro if they are tired of it.
