This hammer has been with me for over a year...not the greatest colouration but beatiful when fully expanded...

Last one for now, full tank pic...again....still fighting the diatom bloom...just got me a black sea cuke (a rare find as it's less than 4 inches long..cute fella) hopefully he'll help out with the sand bed..

Thanks guys....now i'm just looking for a good specimen of a bright green frogspawn, to add more touch of green and motion to the tank.

Anyone's got any frags or leads?

WOW u have avery nice tank bro..... Where do u buy ur prata n the rest of the corals?

[southpaw23]

Thanks for the tip Nicholas...i hope it'll still be around next week as i'm off to KL for the weekend....

And thanks 11hamtaro, my prata was actually from Malaysia and when i moved down to singapore 2 months ago, i brought it down with me together with a few other corals in the tank, namely orange plate, which was a lil stressed and injured from the trip..plus a lil incident with my PH falling off the suction and completely burrying it, hasnt been doing very well. Come to think of it, i actually brought a lot of my corals down to singapore, the capnella, hammer (which is doing very well and been with me for 1.5 years), zoos and all the mushrooms, the bright red mushroom is my favorite....check out how bright it is....

Other than that, i bought the gsp and white bubble from pasir ris and pink dendro from Iwarna, green bubble and gonipora from harlequin Oh and that gorgeous rose anemone was bought in pasir ris as well....

I think that's about all....i just realised that may have been more information than your looking for....oops

Hi,

Have always been interested in the garden eel.. Can you give me more information on how you keep it? What does it eat? Is it hard to feed? Does it always hide??

Haha, sorry about all the question, just haven't seen anyone keeping garden eel lately..

Thanks for all the replies guys....first off, the garden eel...so far my experience with it has been good...they seem pretty low maintenance from my experience. I have yet to directly feed it and believe it feeds off the scraps and during my frozen brine shrimp feedings to my clowns, goby and shrimps. They do tend to bury themselves completely in the sand but come out fairly often poking their head out of the sand sometimes extending further looking around for food...pretty cute looking....not the most active fish but still pleasant to have in the tank.

Unfortunately, i don't have room for a hang on filter with my setup with the Prizm at the back....will have to figure out other alternatives to put in the Rowaphos. A FR is a consideration but i was trying to keep my setup simple since it's only a 2 feet....
