My Harlequin Tuskfish eats nori too. For the longest time he just ripped off chunks and spat it out, but since I've been using the garlic enhanced nori he gobbles it up. Go figure.

we cut the center brace on our tank and replace it by 2 brace, in between the MHs

no more shadow in the midle on the tank:

I saw my crocea clam spawning last night! (sorry no video)

How common is that in a home reef aquarium?

I was excited when my clam spawned also but it is actually extremely bad. Did it white out the entire tank? Tony (Delphineious) lost a large chunk of his live stock following a clam spawn.

no it was not that much.. the clam is about 4"... so it's not a big clam...

I'm not sure how rare it is, I think it's reasonably uncommon for the most part but having said that I seem to get about at least once a year. My clams are older and larger than average though, so it could have something to do with size and age.

Most of the times the event seems small enough but I did have a massive clam spawn about a year ago that spiked my system hard enough that I did lose fish, I think it was due to O2 depletion, the fish that died were all breathing/pumping very hard and heavy in their final moments. Not much you can do to prevent it, if it happens it happens, just be sure to keep your carbon clean, skimmer clean and be ready to do a waterchange if need be afterwards.
