Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
for one whole penny. Just joking - it's free. But I made you look to see how much I was charging right? hahah.
Here's the lineage of this fantastic green macro algae:

That's it. LOL. ;D
As an added bonus you will be taking the nitrates that have been uptaked by my cheato out...
A while back someone posted a link about how the ornamental hobby was taking away resources -e.g. the peppermint shrimp in the atlantic.
Anyone ever wonder what an oil slick might do to that phytoplankton that floats on the surface with the current. A 100 mile layer of oil would essentially...
well technically it's the anemone that is "hosting". But yes BTAs have been known to host true and false percs in captivity. It rarely happens in the wild though. BTAs normally host other clownfish species in the wild - not usually true percs/false percs.
totally normal. The colors do not change the fact that they are the same species. it would be like having two hammer corals - one green tipped, the other purple tipped.
check out this beauty of a tank with multiple bubble tip anemones (and multiple clowns that were all introduced together from...
Pic of the nest that just hatched:
At 78 degrees, the nest was laid on Saturday at around 3pm and hatched at about 7pm Tuesday night.
One day old clownfish fry, my point & shoot is terrible. Here's a AA battery for context:
because the male is misbarred - every one in maybe 20 or so there will be a fish that will have a tear drop pattern instead of a middle bar. However given you are looking at a fish that is only at 1/10th of its lifespan = it's hard to say if it will change later on or not.
News update: I...
bummed i missed the event - had to go into manhattan for a family thing. Stopped by Fao and my kids were entranced by the Noah's Ark display. I didn't have my camera - should have snapped a pic. My mom was like - oh it's only $239. I was like, uh you are missing a decimal. Try $2390. lol.
could be worse - could be byropysis.... of the two i dealt with ba via siphoning. And I also got it from a former sponsor on this board. dumb dumb of me to intro it. I was like - awww a few little algae bubbles- no big deal, just scrape off, blast with RO water and intro.
anyways - problem is...
yeah i am pretty sure it was trying to eat any egg that didn't attach or was ripped off by the clowns (infertile). Never saw that before.
Some pics of the older clowns:
based on pics of inquisitives' breakdown - that was not bryopsis. However it was thick and ugly - so much so it probably discouraged a lot of people from getting some of the nice corals she had.
with an open top, several low wattage powerheads and an external return/skimmer pump - i definitely need heaters in the winter. In the summer i unplug the heaters.
angel pagan is pretty good. I don't think fernando would get the playing time he needs.
I saw an "aaron heilman" sighting - didn't know he moved to arizona. 7.11 ERA...2 HR's...early in the season but with 2 blown saves - he's pretty atrocious. at least that was one move omar did right.
I am...
ike davis seemed pretty unaffected by all the hype on him. 2-4 rbi. THat's already better than tatis/jacobs.
Every time I see joel pinerio pitch a great game for the angels or vlad the impaler g hit for the rangers - i really think omar needs to go. But with 4 million left on his contract -...
