How big is Mr Octo?

[keithtanbb]

2 CHAETO boxes taken - 4 left, Octo being reserved by reefer: M203

the octo is the size of a sunny side up egg when at rest.but each tentacle can extend to 20 cm for him to grap his food!, as you can see he is residing in his den of rocks.well camouflaged. I use a long satay stick to lure/feed him. Give me a good fight everytime for possession of the stick!

***Deal Sweetener : for fellow reefers that are taking up my chaeto's; I am sure some amphipods will hitch hike onto the chaeto...will make sure some are in there.As my refugium is full of them now without natural predators.

Hi ; danlim ; you can place them in a basket to prevents fish from eating them. But best to get a refugium going, or at least a hang on type!! anway some info for you below -

Chaetomorpha (Spaghetti) Macro Algae is useful for exporting unwanted nutrients ; Chaetomorpha is a durable macro algae but unlike Caulerpa, it does not produce a number of substances which can create problems for corals in closed systems and does not go sexual by releasing it's reproductive products and nutrients back into the water column which would degrade water quality. It does not grow that aggresively like some other Caulerpa by overtaking your tank and it's inhabitants with rapid growth. That's why it's preferred macro algae. Chaetomorpha is more stable and not overly invasive, and easy to harvest. Chaetomorpha is a much better macro algae for nutrient export purposes. It is easily grown in a sump or refugium with inexpensive 24/7 flourescent lighting. It grows fast in a refugium with a 'slow upwards water movement' using a small pump for circulation. The refugium should spill water back into your sump. Since adding Chaetomorpha Macro Algae, my refugiums are now home to many tiny detrivores, which include copepods, bristle worms, mysid shrimps, and brittle stars which all play a significant role in cleansing the system. The water quality has improved so much that there are now many small white and red feather dusters growing out the pieces of live rock in the refugium. Chaetomorpha Macro Algae is also a great source of nutrition for Tangs and Angels!
