I was looking at that myself if its the one im thinking of.
I saw it the first day it came in and then it was gone today!! hope it dose well !! I think it looks awsome in your tank!!

Well, I left it for an hour and it ran away!! It's moved out of it's spot and is hiding under the rocks. Any advice?

Yes. Leave it be....if you can, make sure even the tiniest inflows are not available if it goes sailing. Just put sponges over all your intakes for now.

Leave it? How come? I can turn off the one powerhead I'm running, but the stream can't stay off for too ong and I can't cover the inlet. Designed that way!
Should the little sucker come back out on it's own? Too much light too quickly perhaps?
Man, I'm glad acros don't do this! Things would be a mess

Acros are sticks man....these are REAL..hehehe

Cover the intakes somehow. Yes, it is possibly adapting to higher light. Don't worry, it will only take out a few SPS until it settles.....

Oh

, so now the real truth comes out on why you rebuilt your reef

Looks great Brad

, now you must look at the tank every hour of every day and night

it's kinda like having another baby all over again

I think you should sell me some frags to make room for that baby

, as you know it will open twice as large once it's settled in with the lights and all

PM me regarding any frags or skimmer info

Just to add a little, my BTA braved direct high flow just to get right under my 400w

. I never would have thought he would have made it through that current

... it only cost me like 8 of my favorite SPS

. Good luck Brad

Rich, I did build that side in anticipation of an anemone joining the crew. And yes, I do spend a lot of time looking around. I just found a huge claw (I'm sure with a crab attached to it) poking out of a hole in the rock. I told it to behave or I'd have Bev talk to it!
I'm missing a couple of smaller iverts, like a translucent crinoid snapping shrimp. I hopefully find it one day, as it was a cool little critter.
