"and another question i had a small black looking urchin slug. that had pointy spines running in one direction on it kinda like a porcupine! i have seen every once and a while to always near my zoas?"

Finally got a pic

It never hurts anything just after MH go off he comes out for a bit

after looking at the old pic i cant even belive it is %100 percent gone

after several days off research last month! i heard geliduim is almost unstoppable! and got hooked on a thread from last year on a different forum about fire blasting the gelidium. i thought no way ill do that! after no other good ways of eradication and a ton of research and my nerves settled i put a bic wind resistant lighter to the gelidium to barley singe it for a sec or two! and after a month of my hermits and emerald crab eating the dead twigs! i have 0 signs on gelidium and had no parameter swings in water AT ALL! this guy has been doing this for years on diffrent live rocks for years for all types of things (valonia, gelidium, aptisia) during research and SWEARS BY IT! so i tried it, cause i sure as heck wasn't letting it over run my tank! my rock is 100% purple and have had no areas of my rock that has even changed color! IM SOLD! I have pics to prove it if you guys wanna see

the purple twig looking stuff could be Gelidium

What are your water parameters and CUC?

your def. starting off big!

this person texted me a couple days ago heres his number. he wanted the perc if you didnt take it 5125902426

I just picked up this little guy from masonhoff. After acclimating him to the tank i realized he was too small to fit in other two clowns immediately started to pick on him. Was told he hosted to masons frogspawn...but didnt have a chance to see if he would host in mine. Currently in sump, and dont think thats the kind of life he should have. Asking $10 whichbis what i paid

where those zoas you want to sell cheap?

I am Drooling at the opportunity to get a platinum baby!

You are welcome. Yip, even when I don't feel like doing it I have to do the chore list. And the house sometimes looks like a mine field. Most the time it is enjoyable though and not a chore.

i love how much my pistol shrimp builds new homes everyday in my crushed coral! like 10 so far under only 3 peices of fiji LR! always under a new shelf!

added two small frags of screaming birdsnest. less than 1/2"

and mixed dragon eye whammin w zoa colony on a spuonge! so that it has a round look!

oh yeah and took all my other zoas off their plug and attached them to the like rock! will post pics of the new stuff today!

how are the clowns doing?

well looks like i have a couple black one and a couple white ones

your right it is an elaphant slug. it turned black and got that spot in like one day.

The black one's an elephant snail and the other two look like stomatella snails.

ill see you around 9:30

Stock is current, I'm available from now until about 4:30pm tomorrow for pickup... but do give me some time to sleep.

this awnsred the snail qeustion.

its not a sundial

sorry to put a diffrent forum on here guys

If the first snail was on or attached to the zoa's then pluck it out and discard. I can't tell from the picture if it's a sundial snail or not, but if it is then he will eat and kill your zoa's!

and the black one looked kinda like a some sort of nudibranch. it looked like a porciupine more than a slug! but same size as others

The black one's an elephant snail and the other two look like stomatella snails.

are they bad for my tank?

thats what i meant DJ! you have paypal? can or sell me 23 and 24 for $15 since you said 23 was pretty small! i can send you paypal! i can meet you tomorrow anytime after 8:30a.m.

There's no dibs without paying, but it's still here and no one has specifically mentioned it in an inquiry so far. It's a little bitty frag, but it does have some nice color - send me a PM if you're interested.

Otherwise Matt you have a PM and the stock has been updated.

OK so the top picture. i was looking in the tank a night with a flashlight for my emrald crab to see what he was up to. and i saw this snail next to my zoafrag! what is it?

and the next two pictures same day before work i saw this on the glass? kinda looks like a slug or somin.

and another question i had a small black looking urchin slug. that had pointy spines running in one direction on it kinda like a porcupine! i have seen every once and a while to always near my zoas? what are theese things?

thank you jawfish for your prompt response to my PM and i hope when you ready to sell these little guys youll keep us in mind!

i definatly cant afford $[redacted]

but i have to have one! i have been waiting for someone to start breeding them, so that i can buy it younger and for a cheaper price!

ill buy one if anyone wants to get a group offer going

She says $400 for a pair for the white ones! Aquadome had a pair of ORA platinums that they sold for I believe $300 or $325 recently just for price comparison. I figure they will eventually go down in price, not to many people will pay $200 for a clownfish, I'll buy some then. I might would pay $250 for a pair but that would be about it, and only if I got to pick them out of a group.

Cool video though. Out of curiosity what will you do with the plain clowns that don't sell? I always wondered what breeders did with the undesirables.
