Another thing to add, is stick with the short tentacle variety, they tend to be really hardy. While the long tentacle ones look cool, they are more delicate, and have a bad tendency to spontaneously die. I had a long tentacle one that did great for a few months, then just up and died I need a plate coral again for my new tank... I have some nice large sandy spaces... hmmm... now you got me wanting one Christian

I agree with Mama, I would let it do it on it's own. You probably could cut it, but I would be afraid if one of the pieces was not attached to a rock yet. I have a horrible time getting rics to stick to stuff .. so I just let mine split naturally.

Welcome!

We do It is a little old, but I found it using the search: Flood Stories

Another good rule of thumb is that most crabs with pointy claws tend to be aggressive (*cough* sally lightfoots *cough*).

Anemones require high amounts of light, so make sure you have a good light fixture over your tank. Besides that, they will eat mysis, small bits of krill, other frozen food also. Most clowns, once they start hosting, will actually feed the anemone by bringing food to it.

Welcome!

Right now all of the frags I have are spoken for ... but if something falls through, I will let you know.

I already had one set aside for you and one for Robb if we ever cross paths again These were two extras above and beyond that.

If you are coming to the meeting, then you are more than welcome to it. Sure, I have had great luck with candy canes in my current tank.

You might scan this page if you haven't already. I didn't see anything particularly helpful, other than most non-hitchhiking tunicates are not long lived

I would say any fish in the system would end up eating most of the larva also.

I will be bringing two toadstool leather frags to the meeting tomorrow. They are tan, with ever-so-slight greenish polyps. They were fragged many months ago, so are totally healed, and growing rapidly. One in only about an inch across, and the other is a couple of inches. They are free to a good home, but if you have some low-light corals you are looking to offload, would take some in exchange.

Welcome!

You are right ... I didn't realize that... never saw one that large.

Meeting is Saturday (if you are talking about the ARC meeting).

Do you mix saltwater in the same can also?

Potatoes for food? Really?

Nice!! We barely got much that stuck to the ground down south here.

I have been using a green one with the wheels attached for over a year now with no problems. I generally don't keep it full for more than a couple of days though.

Your tank bioload could probably handle a sixline.

They almost look like brine shrimp ... but could be nudibranchs (hard to tell). Do you have any wrasses in your tank? They like to eat small things like that...

Thanks for all the tips. I think we are going to go to Sienna after the show today. We haven't been back there in about 6 years when we first started dating.

No problem.

If you are having a true emergency (tank leaking, major equipment malfunction, major loss of livestock, etc), please call one of our local sponsoring fish stores and seek help (if it is during normal business hours).
