Hey Tench, it's a normal RBTA... and I surrounded it with zoos and a tonga torch as my Tomato clown constantly flips the sand away so to prevent him from doing so... I surround him with corals to prevent that gangster of a fish from flipping sand! :P

Yeah the AT is really making itself feel at home.. Swimming around all the time, pecking and grazing on the rocks constantly... loving the Nori and pellets that fall down.. :P

My golden rhmboid which had passed on because of the swollen eye and NOW my Yellow Tang has swollen eye .. I just realised it about 2 days ago when I shone my torch light into the tank at night and saw how BIG the YT's eye was! :( What on earth is going on.. is this some sort of an illness that could spread from fish to fish OR it's an accident like it scratched itself or something and it has to heal on it's own? ARUGH!!! :cry:

Most likely is the fish scratched it eye and bac infected, if the water condition is good, it should recover on it own.

yeah, just check if you see it scratching against rocks ... my male flame had this for a while, recovered already. hope your YT recovers as well.

Wow! Nice AT you have there!

Cool pink Anemone, surrounded with zoas and Octo you have there! Whats the name call? :idea:

It's called torch coral from the recent Iwarna shipment, we got 2, 1 of them is green, the other slightly pinkish.

Eh, So is it a RBTA or Touch Coral? heehee im confused. ;P

The Tomato Clown must be trying to adjust its territory, thats why keep disturbing your corals. But its a nice move to shift the zoas, but be careful, as if the RBTA grows, your zoas will be affected..

i also feel that the pink one is a rbta :lol: a torch head shouldn't be so big and there should be multiple heads too.

is that really an octo beside the zoas? it looks like an lps from iwarna that came in quite recently. i don't think its an octo if it really is that lps. more like a fatter polyp galaxy to me :pinch:

Thanks peeps.. but the thing is SPS is just to try... not sure whether I can maintain the colors as my tank is predominantly FISHES and LPS so I feed... VERY VERY often. High nutrient water.. :P So if the SPS survive.... I will be as happy as pigs in the mud....

anyway Terryz, that day @ RB got for my Pico Tank a small rock, small strawberry cauliflower and Comycus gave me a small part of his zoos that he bought. :) Here is a pic of my IQ5 at office. BOss gave approval for a mini tank. :) I just threw in a NArsi snail and purple fusion zoos in the front.. haven't open yet.. hahaha

Ah Har... It all started out with a "try" for SPS. But once you see some growth, that's when u get poisoned!

Quite a few gems already huh. Keep the pictures coming and see you at the clinic soon...

I also haven't been there for awhile, time to see the doc once I add more real estate (live rocks, not new tank)..

I think if you keep going Dr Ang's place, very soon you will be in Mt Everest... :)

Our SPS is mainly frags from other reefers.. bought 3 from AM to try since only S$60 but my main purpose is actually some space for the clown gobyies to hide and rest/perch. So far so good and the clown gobies already hide there sometimes.

Ah Siang... Outside pond cannot la... :P That said, one of my goldfish just passed away.. I think it's indigestion... must go find out why and how to prevent.

The 2 two-spot gobies are doing ok. One is more daring and out sifting sands when lights on while the other only when lights off/dim. The vanuatu flasher also hide under the rock most of the time but surviving...

I forget to add in my one small Clown Goby... so we have 27 fishes :P
