    Corral behavior

    This shrimp likes to hang out right there on these zoa's. They use to close up when he stepped on them. Now I've noticed, they barely react. Interesting example of Learned behavior in a colony of primitive animals.

    Aptiasia

    Is it normal to get several aptiasia on almost every frag I buy, or should I look for a new place to buy them? I'm able to kill them & within a few weeks of treatment they stop returning. I buy them from a local general pet shop. They sell birds mammals reptiles etc, as well as fish.
