Not really lah.. just know the source

Hmm blasto are very hardy coral.... low current and not so strong light will make them more happy

$30 for red prata...must help me buy leh..

i hunt very long and was quoted $80..

gonna shift my blasto to a secluded spot then...very hard to find one..my 2 CCTV seems very efficient..

latest addition from eric..

hope it stays stilll....

[bubble_gum]

bro gd idea to get it before u stat major stocking of corals.... let it move and find its spot till it get satisfied then no need to worry abt it stingging ur othe corals if it moves

[lvcap]

now still small...think it wun move so much...but once it grows..the the current residence too small for it liao..

hope it will survive long...

[Terryz_]

Nice.. IMO BTA mostly will stay still... All my previous ones stayed at one place... Yours a BTA??? The most dangerous one is ritteri anenome... Move like nobody's business...

[lvcap]

but once this pc grows..it sure migrate..cos the cave its residing now..too small for its future footprint...

8th Sep 2004

2340 hrs..

was feeding henry's food to tempt my 2 skinny tangs to makan..guess who i saw..

a freaking mantis!! after 8 mths ...i still have mantis!!

and to think my rocks were housed in 2 tubs for 3 weeks without feeding..

luckily..it was stoopid enuff to hide in a rock nearest to me..

the unfortunate thing...the rock was a support for another rock above..which was sitting my blastos!

and my blastos were alr blooming..with no skeleton shown..

no choice..shifted the blasto away to another spot..and it shrank..

step 1:

bring the rock and mantis to the toilet

step 2:

flush the rock with boiling hot water from my shower head.. as this Lr was a unique pc with many holes for corals placement

step 3:

found the idiot..semi dead...still moving its legs..

step 4:

to soothe myself...smash the bloody &()&*(&)*(^)% with the rock...

step 3:

smash the rock into pcs as it dint bulge...

[lvcap]

a close up view...of the %^((&%^))

[lvcap]

last pix of the idiot..

[weileong]

No need so troublesome, just pour high kH solution into the hole and it will jump out

[neokn]

Sorry, how did you notice the mantis? It came out to eat?

[lvcap]

dun wan lah..

still must go prepare..

i like violence...!!!

super shocking to see it..it was darting otu RIGHT in front of me less than 10cm away from my face..to grab a pc of henry's food..

shows that henry's food really potent...

[lvcap]

yah neokn

it darted out to grab food...ah bo i wouldnt know got mantis...

the last thing to suspect as all my LR were "old"

lucky this **(()*(&&) dint eat my $50 harlequin pair...and my 2 tangs...

ah bo....i would have set fire to it...

[lvcap]

Casualty List:

My beautiful LR..now into 3 pcs liao..

My blooming blastos...now shrinking to skeleton liao...

and my rockscape looks funny liao.....

[neokn]

I occasionally will hear clipping sound from my tank, will it be the fella? Coz I have 2 pistol shrimp in the tank too. I have always experience missing LS from Day 1, just couldn't locate the fella. Does it come out in the dark?

[lvcap]

pistol does click..

mine was god damn daring..came out in bright daylight...

usually they will respond to light...the previous one i caught...many mths back...i happen to shine a light at a cave...and something poppped out..

and i knew it was a ^&**(()

trying flooding the tank with food..they might pop out..

and if small fishes keep disappearing with nothing wrong in your tank conditions..it might be them

[weileong]

My beautiful LR..now into 3 pcs liao..

This can be avoid one... your fault lah lol.

[lvcap]

whahah

nm nm..

hope my blastos dun suffer permanent damage..

too angry liao to think properly..

only thing on my mind then: kill it at all costs..

already lucky liao...it hid in the first rock...and it havent killed any of my new Ls in my tank...

i was worried it ran all the way to the back of the tank..
