So one has molted and they are eating happily on their star. The female still has eggs inside her belly and hasn't released them yet. Its really neat yto see them out in the open.

Ok, these are shots from this morning, and then after work, after a fast trip to the Dome. Thank you Gary for letting K pick out his own Star. It made his day after being sick all week. After collaborating with my team, figured it would be easiest to put the star in the net, then let them come in, and bag them from there. Well, the male was hesitant to let her come near and went into the net first. Into the bag he went. Try again. Walked out for a smoke while waiting and the female had snatched it and pulled it to the middle of the tank. Yanked a boulder of GSP away since it's supposed to grow back.... lol and was able to walk my fingers to her enough to get her to back out. The only thing is they aren't scared of us anymore. The male had hopped a ride on my finger while K held the bag in the water. Once the female had found the whole star in the net, as opposed to the one piece of another it had been eating on,she made it to the bag and acclimated them for about 45 min. As soon as they hit the water, I put the chunk-O-star left over from the evil starfish eating starfish, into the cave I made for them, but they quickly found the new mollies and started getting active and moved about the tank. I moved the mollies to another tank to be mentioned later. That's the tank with the Yellow Tang we have the adoption paperwork for from Petsmart. Emaciated and hadn't eaten in 3 months. ( She is fine now )They found a new cave but have settled for now. Thank you Gary, Terry and Hunter for letting me dance around in joy for my favorite babies and my naive happiness in finding two species that love each other. (at least two color variations ). I them. Now I have an new excuse to set up a separate culture of pods, and need to do it soon. I have to gather equipement to see what I'm missing. I may miss this clutch, but will learn by the next.

Oh gosh. Its been a while since I've been around due to a new job. Last night I saw what I always thought was my female harly very fat and her belly round. She's carrying eggs! Im thinking tonight I'll lure the pair out with starfish then move them to the frag tank to let them continue. Any other ideas or help?

I didn't dip anything yet. All the new stuff is in the frag tank set up for just this. I'm a bit new to dipping. (don't hate please) I love seeing new creatures but this guy just freaks me out. He's still alive in his container, as I keep changing his water. He curled around a pellet I threw in and after looking at him, my husband said " your bug's dead". Nope, not even. He was swimming around after a poke with the toothpick. If he's good, I have no problem letting him enter his home, but he just looks so evil. He just creeps me out.

Found this little guy in some coral I got;. He's in isolation right now until I figure out what he is. Any ideas? I noticed that the larger end has pinchers, but the smaller end has the face.

Torch is sold.

Everything still available. Will also consider trades for LPS.

Torch pending

pm'ed

bump

be right over.

Trying to make some room in the cube, so I have a few things up for grabs. Torch Coral: $20 SOLD One large head. Skeleton is about 3 inches long. The base of the head is about 3 inches when inflated, and the tentacles reach about 6-7 inches across, very long. Also, some tentacles have multiple bubble tips on the ends, kinda looking like frogspawn. It's just growing too big and starting to reach my other corals. GSP Plug: $5 A plug covered in GSP. Devil's Hand leather $10 Frag is about 2-3 inches. Already attached to rocks.

Spam Musubis is one of my fave foods. So easy to make, and so yummy. Do you have the actual mold that is made for it?

Check out Marks vid. Go to 2:15 (though the whole video is awesome) It pertains to your question. http://www.mrsaltwatertank.com/i-kill-red-bugs/

You guys are the bestest and I can't thank you enough for all the help and knowledge (and rescues) you have given me over the years.

Your PMs are full I think. Do you still have the blue spot goby?
