Bro, why not ask our LFSs for styrofoam boxes? It works out to be more or less the same (:

bro you got to be careful, better monitor closely. Coz if your other elegance dieded from this 'disease', this one sure kena also.

thanks! have been monitoring until my eyes pop out liao...everyday tempt it with prawn meat but still not eating...damn it...

anyway...avoiding GO until month end...although the "force" is very strong...i'm going crazy liao!!!

U can observe the tentacles to c whether it is lively and try feeding it to c if the tentacles catches the meat and puts into the mouth or it drops off after a while.

After considering last night and this morning when i wake up to c...i told myself beta get rid of it before it starts to deterioriate while i m at work.

Now i have lots of space for more gems...haha...

I have tryed 2 times already. But cannot keep so long. Max 6 months. My fish shop friend say that it need to be very slowly season in the tank. First 1-2 months always good condition and open big. Then time by time getting shring and shrink. It's difficult to keep more than 6 months. I give up to keep it...

ok... some updates! My laptop finally decided to work. woohoo! Hope my company quickly gives me a new laptop so I don't need to depend on this old vaio anymore...

First up, lyretail anthias! I added 3 of these things some 3-4 weeks ago. Loved them for 2 days and almost regretted after tt... lol They are hard to feed, and take up so much swimming space. The smallest one doesn't seem to be doing too well, but at least all of them are feeding well now. Hopefully can fatten them up as much as my 3 wrasses and royal gamma are. Occassional chasing by my blotchy, but otherwise the tank's actually v. peaceful. yay!

The male is not fully morphed, but he has v. nice finnage :)

Some of my corals added in Nov that I have not revealed...

Chalice. I think I'm converting to a chalice lover soon. I find the texture of these corals simply amazing! Thx to Ah siang for it :)

post-16489-1258207962_thumb.jpg

Galaxy! My replacement elegance coral. lol Although I'm still hoping my elegance pulls through. Thx to Reddevilz!

post-16489-1258208020_thumb.jpg

My Rhizo. Only opens this big when lights are on. Although when lights are out the tentacles come out easily 2-3 times this length.

I decided to practice restraint today as I am going to rescape my rocks soon... I'm sure can look forward to more promos by Shan. Just have to keep our eyes and ears open :) Peter, pls do a reef journal when your new tank comes. I am really looking forward to it!

GO has an amazing collection of torch this shipment. I just couldn't resist it. Those are pink tipped by the way. Extremely beautiful!
