any updates ? How are all your Pipes doing ?

oh man what to say about this tank... the blue stripes are good and well, dragon face missing, seahorse eaten by donut coral, it as become a hodge podge of dangerous corals and a foot long tube anenome that was eating chromis like candies. Kind of a lost graveyard tank im thinking... skeletons and poisonous/spiny urchins and other oddities.

got some new treasures! a few staghorn hermits, a new rock flower nem and a venus anenome shrimp.. i had a bunch of rubble in my sump so I plopped him right on there.. the shrimp made his way to a alveopora for a bit, then to the nem. The rock flower is blue to purple hueish center with gren tentacles..

so... the anenome shrimp has vanished into some other coral overnight, probably see him next year... the rock flower anenome must be pretty happy, after just one night, it would seem it has been trying to spawn. Lots of milky stuffs for about the last 10 mins...

uploading a video..

What are you doing for the staghorn hermit? Are you going to target feed it?

My son and I bought one of those silly staghorn buggars too. I am target feeding the shell frozen cyclopeeze. My sandbed is pretty healthy and full of life but I suspect it will be pretty tricky to keep the shell alive. Your thoughts?
