[poomoon]

[jackywongto]

[albinosage]

how's yr new tank coming along?

Should be taking delivery mid april hehehe...

the bright blue and yellow shades are cute ... this is a nice catch.

Yup I find the helfrichi very pleasant and colourful in an elegant way. It's something about the pastel shade on the body.. Looks more stunning in real life.

Anyway I think the cook island variant is pretty on its own, looks like pink panther haha, but the desirability and price is cos of how rare it is in the trade.

Bought a rock of zoas and dipped it in a solution of freshwater + Flatworm Exit as usual... The number of hitchhiker pests that fall out is incredible this time round. And most of them are tiny snails that stubbornly stick to the zoa polyps

1 hour after the dip, all polyps are opening up nicely

[albinosage]

Colours are so much more brilliant from the top down: hammer from lemonlemon

[peacemaker]

Nice hammer... I really need to look for a hardy host for my clowns... they are moving from one colony of zoas to another!

[jackywongto]

maybe I can you my WB photo so u can set yours.....

Haha I figured out the wb setting already, quite high 8.6k or something like that. Just that my LEDs are not in a mixed array like the 110w. The whites are all in a row, the blues in a row. The camera cannot decide where to base the wb values on that's why you see some splotches of blue in the pic.

so nice to see my hammer doing WELL! i love to see my livestock alive in people's tank after selling. i always wonder where they go and how are they.

"Oui, monsieur! You are les evil... stop poisoning others with my beauty!"

So cute... pink base with a thin frenchman mustache...

there's another slightly different cook island variant to the helfrichi

this one boasts its turqoise finnage

you can never imagine what my pair of true percs are hosting...

lol serious Kiko?

They are techkies?

[yikai]

clowns hosting thermometers are suprisingly common. not sure why. have seen more clowns hosting things like magnets, pipes, wavemakers, thermometers, than clowns hosting actual corals..

[pokmingsheng]

lol serious Kiko?

serious...

but only when the lights are off,

they "sleep" there..

[albinosage]

Lemon: glad you find it well taken care of. The hammer is a hit with my pom pom crab, will update pics later in the morning. Btw, that cook island variant of the helfrichou you posted is damn nice!

Terry: bought that from GO. Although it's very common, the green one really caught my eyes haha.

Kiko: damn funny la your clowns. I dunno what's the attraction to the thermometer, maybe they are gadget freaks like what Jackie said.

Anyway, just shifted the 24G to the kitchen to free up the existing space for the new tank. Act strong and carried the tank half filled with water..... Then realised that I had no exit strategy, nowhere to place the tank while I go back get the cabinet. In that moment of realisation I pulled a muscle in my back

Quite an accident prone day. The 'unz unz unz' headphone wearing clown jumped out of the tank while I was out, and a live rock toppled, tearing my rbta almost into half

[raydiative]

wha... hows everything now man??

if the zoas got eggs in them, is it possible that (if they don't drop off by the shaking) and end up you get new nudis again after sometime ? or these nudis are also somewhere other than these zoas ? dipped all of em about 3 wks back. and just last night, had to redip again and caught 10 ! i did "save" about 5 and will see how these can grow now isolated in a pico.

[albinosage]

Thanks for the concern everyone! Unfortunately, by the time I found the clownfish it looks like that:

The RBTA was attached to 2 rocks, and one of them fell off, tearing a big hole through the foot. I almost threw it away cos it looks like it is going to start spewing its guts into the main tank, but I decided to put it in my new toy and let it recover for now

Bro, coral dip doesn't remove nudi eggs, that's why other reefers recommend dipping infected zoas more than once, a few weeks apart. Anyway the eggs are quite visible in the tank, you can remove them with tweezers.
