Milleporas are not too difficult to keep... but maintaining some rare colours is a great task... bro Vandeam you really need a proper camera... we can't see these "Blue tip / Pink Body / Green poly"

Nice rare Wrasses... why not get a mate for the Rhomboid? Stock your fishes slowly as your SPS may get upset later... they have been enjoying a fish-less world (aka low bioload) so far

Not necessary true. Many reefers in RC found out that despite the pastel colour of the sps in a fishless tank, the corals are not doing well actually. The extension of polyp actually signifies the starvation of the coral. Poop from fishes will provide the nutrients to the coral and of course not too miuch fish la

Very well said from a well respected and experienced reefer.

Pastel colour = not doing well

Extension of polyps = starvation of the coral

Poop from fishes = nutrients to the coral

Makes my hand itchy now... oh I miss those coloured sticks :lol:

[VanDeam]

but any way most likely throwing the fishes into my 6ft fowlr .. after they are feeding

Polyp extension does not mean the SPS coral is starving.

SPS corals do not just photosynthesize sunlight for energy, their polyps are there for a purpose and that is to capture zooplankton in the water column. And polyp extension in SPS corals are best seen at night when they feed on zooplankton without fear of fish nipping on them.

For healthy and fast growth, SPS corals should be fed also.

[VanDeam]

Thats WHy i feed every 12 hrs with Marc Weiss SPS Coral Grow !!! ... to simulate drifting food !!
