New Reef on the Block

Is the pink hammer a wall type or branching type?

Walls can be a bit fussy compared to the branching type.

I notice the wall type doesn't take flow well at all.

Wall we will see

This is what a bristle worm can be under my feeding schedule. For reference the bottom of the ramacan is 1.5" in diameter.

And he shriveled up as soon as I grabed him. And I guess they get bold when they get that big because he was just walking the sand in the open I usually see him hiding.

it's just a baby! haha

That's fricken huge throw it on a hook and go fishing

[Darbex]

Well I am sure I am about to loose it its about half gone. I have seen some come back and re-grow but I dont have high hopes for that but I am going to try. I think it was the added MP on the tank that did it in, I noticed that one of my frogspawn heads that was almost directly in front of the MP died too. I am going to raise the MP up some more and so that only the SPS can get the bulk of the flow.

May have done some animal cruelty. My rock boring urchin decided he liked a little slit in my rock work and forced his way into it and began to collaps a section of my rock work. I noticed that my torch was barely on the original pile. So I had to spend last night draining the tank half way down take apart the rock work and found him in the middle of the whole thing. I tried to get him out but he would budge so I got pissed and ripped him off and threw him away. Then I proceeded to rebuild and of course you can never put it exactly how it was but the plus side is I epoxy the crap out of it so hopefully this section wont have anymore damage.

Ya I hate it when I have to move rock in my tank I'm never happy when I go to put it back never sits right again

[myjohnson]

Lol, I'm surprise you didn't epoxy the crap out of it already!

I wasted almost 3 tubes on the LR in my tank and I barely have any rocks.

On another note, I was looking at get an urchin but don't like it when snails get all over. Is there a certain kind that allows this to happen or something?

[Darbex]

Well I didnt epoxy it when it was FOWLR because I didnt care but now its reef I cant have rocks shifting but I didnt think about redoing it when I changed it over. I kick myself now. You have to get urchin with long spins like rock boring or pencil they are the only ones that I have seen not get it I am assuming the spines keep it from being about to move the over their bodies with their feet. If you want you can have my last rock boring.

Clowns mated finally. Pics suck but lights are off and the eggs are small.

[myjohnson]

Nice!

Are these the original clows from the bio cube?

[R_sustaita]

Congrats man.

[Darbex]

One is the other is about a 1yr old+ because the one it replaced was a retard and tried to attack me when I did water changes and got sucked up the tube and died.

I saw them digging a pit next to the nem this week and thought that looks like mating behavior but was like whatever I have had them for almost 2yrs and nothing and then yesterday morning I saw them cleaning the shell and was like well maybe something is going to happen after all. Got home last night and saw red dots all over it.
