Done...CoralRx almost 80% of the stuff.

Today, only managed to find 1 x nudi. (Destroyed)

But sad to say, due to the rescape, i had lost a beloved purple fire-goby.

How and why? All my fault for scarying it till he got caught by the carpet anemone...

So sad...

Haizzzzz

Sorry to hear that bro. rip.gif

Incidentally my purple firefish also died in one of my rescape.

He was hiding in one of the rock's crevices and I just left that rock in the balcony.

He became ikan bilis.....

may that be a scarce consolation to you....

Now tht you have dipped them, try to get hold of a small yellow wrasse.

It can help to keep the remaining/ new hatched nudis in control.

Thanks jacky, indeed, we learnt from our mistake and will be more careful next time round.

With regards to this incident, i would like to take this opportunity to share how deadly carpet anemone can be.

Guys, please take some precaution when you are rescaping your tank with C.A. lying somewhere in your tank.

It is just like a deadly spiderweb, when your fishes got trap in its tentacles and thats it...

Yup, will be getting some Yellow Warrase from LFS. :)

Bro, sorry to hear about your casualty. Yup, carpet anemones have one of the deadliest stings and are predatory by nature, have to be careful with small fishes, not the first I heard of this already. Sometimes fishes will chase each other until they bump into the carpet anemone and get eaten lol. After the coral rx treatment, I think you can relax for a while and observe if the corals are doing better. Add a yellow wrasse soon :P

glad to hear that the coralrx dip works.

remember to dip all new additions before putting them into your tank now.

eh. do you have a sandbed?

no sandbed, don't keep wrasses that fall into these genus halichoeres sp, macropharyngodon sp (leopards), anampses sp (tamarins), pseudojuloides sp (pencil wrasses), coris sp

all the above mentioned wrasses need to have a sandbed. if you are not experienced enough to know their scientific names, check it up. if any of the wrasses you want fall into the above genus, don't attempt unless you havea sandbed.

Yellow wrasse - Halichoeres chrysus.

I have kept a yellow wrasse for 3 - 4 weeks without any sandbed .... he was fine.

yellow wrasse difficult to keep?

I bought just 1 and he is doing very well.

But last friday, I heard from a couple of reefers that there is an element of luck involve.

it's not advisable to keep leopard wrasse, tamarins, yellow wrasse, coris etc in a tank without sand bed longterm.

it's not impossible for them to adapt to a bare bottom tank. I know many reefers keeping them in bb. but it's a very important element for these fishes. they need the sand to feel secure and sleep in at night, as well as to hide when they feel threatened.

For very hardy and easy species like yellow wrasse. bare-bottom for months no problem or even permanent.

but touchier species like leopards and pencil wrasses may suffer without the sand bed. Talk to some of the resident wrasse gurus here and they will tell you the same.

there's nothing complicated. it's just nature.

generally very easy fish. Some perish due to shipping stress.

to facilitate it to your tank, a sand bed will help make it feel comfortable while it gets used to the tank.
