Hovens wrasses are great. I have one and it's the perfect tank mate.

I'll try to come. This will be me...

Ok see you in 5 minutes! JK

I need to go shopping at your house!

You got the best access. You're practically my neighbor!

I love the green ones. I had a green LTA but he went through my power head a month ago. The green bubbles are nice. Great pictures!

I have a similar issue with my green bubble tip anenomes, I have around 14 now (hard to count as they don't have name tags...). Some have bubble tips, others do not, some are green and others are pale white (which I believe is that they are not getting enough food so I have started target feeding the pale ones and they seem to be starting to get their green color back).

You could try putting a rock you don't like next to them. They might attach then you can take it out. That is what I normally do.

Ugh - those little ********! Is anyone here an expert anemone catcher?

I started with one last year... I just counted 15 in the tank...

My attempts to catch them haven't been successful yet

Thanks. I love Lamarck's Angels. I have a pair. The male is starting to get the male coloring.

Nice Lamarack's!

Yeah it is weird. Even one that is from the same "mother" does not have bubbles while the other half does. It's odd.

It's interesting that even with the multitude in your tank, that some bubble and some do not. Very interesting!

I'll post some pictures when I take more. I have plenty on my iPad.

Man cant wait to have a take that looks that nice, still in build stage of mine, how old is your tank can you post another pic or two if the tank is bigger thanks snoopy

No idea why the image is sideways. Oh well!

This year has been great so far. My rose bubble tip anemones have been splitting like crazy. I started with just 3. Now I have 7. I think soon my tank will be an anemone tank!

You're always in trouble!

I love alveopora. How many frags did you get?

Emerald crabs supposedly do the trick. I'd also probably reduce the photocycle of the lights and reduce nutrient input.

Good idea. I'll see if i can see anything.

Also, check the underside of the montipora for montipora nudibranchs, they can be hard to spot...

Mine hasn't touched corals. I will keep an eye out though. He loves pellets.

I know the Steinhart Aquarium in San Fran took out their school of adults because they started eating soft corals.

This goes out to all the Vlamingi daddies and mommies out there. How much do you feed your Vlamingi and what do you feed?

I feed my tank 4 nori squares a night and a block of spirulina mysid. I also put in a "block" of cyclopeeze. I saw "block" because they are more triangle shaped than square.

I read that Vlamingis change from herbavores to being fully carnivorous when they are adults. Has anyone experienced that?

I have the same trash can that I use for water changes. It's awesome stuff. He's taking a loss at this price! Someone snatch them up!

Thanks guys. My salinity is getting back to normal. My other montis seem fine. I'll check the mag to see if it's low.

I have a few montipora colonies in my tank. One of my colonies isn't doing great. Nothing is picking on it. It's is just dying. That water parameters are good. The salinity is a bit high but the other colonies are fine. Salinity is 1.026 right now but was 1.029 a few weeks ago. I've been bringing it down slowly. Anyone know if montipora are super sensitive to swings in salinity?

I love sail fin tangs! Elvis looks good!

Sweet. I'll check out RCA and AD.

Where can I buy dry rock by the pound here in Austin?

I just want to fill things up. I want to get dry rock to do it. I just don't know if I have to cure it first.

Ty: All the live stock is good. I just want to add some more rock to help with biological filtration and add hiding places. I may just get a few rocks at a time since they can be expensive.

Sweet. I definitely have time and a big bucket to spare. I can get some rock and cure it no problem. Thanks.
