Nice pick ups Jim!

Thanks! Mike is very happy about his presents, and they are settling in well so far. The hulas are very cool, but they are also quite small. I've seen adults once, and I can't wait until these babies grow up. Right now, the smaller of the two is hanging out with one of our helfrichis, which...

We are overdue for an update. We have added a LOT of fish recently. The group of 6 gold assessors we added in October have done really well with our existing pair. We took the plunge recently and added a really nice pair of juvi randall's assessor basslets. So far, so good. The little one...

It can. I tried that first and lost two fish to starvation. I will never do that again.

My money is on the sandbed. I would imagine that the sand was absorbing nutrients during the time when WC were 1x per month, and with it being disturbed, the nutrients were released into the water. It could be as simple as the pistol getting into a particularly nasty part of the sand bed. I...

I did this a few years ago, in 2009. We had our mandarin in a small tank, 30g, and we fed pellets, mysids, cyclopseeze. We tried Melev's mandarin diner, which our other small fish got into routinely. We fed a combination of live food and frozen food, and we kept our tank heavily stocked...

Thanks Daniel. The lungs started acting up this morning, it's a day in bed for me.

Looks great Olivier. What is mine is yours. Pick a day to come visit us & cut some frags. Do steer away from crushed coral, go for fiji pink & your nutrient levels (long term) will be soooo much better in the nano.

These anems are IMHO the nicest you can find in NJ. James' mother nem has been in captivity for a very long time (he gave us a split in 2009 from the same RBTA) and they are very hardy, and really gorgeous anems. If you want a Bubble Tip, this is the best you are going to get.

Welcome back Olivier :)

You can keep the pistol & goby in a less-than-deep sand bed, but I do think they need it. I would go light on the sand, they will be OK in 1". The goby would probably be OK without the sand, but I would worry about the pistol. The only other thing you could consider is an itty bitty nano...

Thank you Paul! When is good for you for me to come and get it?

Meteor Shower Cyphestra if it is the one you got from us. If it is, I would be interested in a frag, I lost my colony :(

They can be purchased from Live Aquaria. They pop up in the divers den section.

I found something similar a few months back, I thought mine was an olive snail. It liked to burrow in the sand bed and it was a carnivore. Mine was about 1/8" when I found it. It lives in the 12g and I see it maybe once every two months.

Yup. At our house. Want to come and compare pod culturing techniques?

Classklown, you are just jealous. Jing, hoping to see you at the meeting next weekend @ our house! Us reefing girls have to stick together!

And that is why you are a good reefer.

James, I am so sorry to see this. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.

You should not have any trouble keeping one in a 24g biocube or jbj. I've seen that done well several times. The breeder box certainly works though!
