*sigh*........ever have one of those weeks????......I found one of my sexy shrimp eating an acan.........it didnt do much damage when I noticed so I moved the acan over to the big tank........kinda out of the frying pan and into the fire......the acans are in the small tank to begin with because my regal tang has a taste for them.....the next day the sexy was on another acan frag happily munching away......so I moved that one over to the big tank too....

I placed them somewhat close to a small crocea (the one surrounded in yellow polyps).....I guess the change in flow caused the clam to wonder directly up and on to the second acan frag.....the next morning the clam was dead.......I dont quite understand why.......

the next day I lost my pyramid butterfly........

next day the acan frag that the clam tap danced on, mostly melted......

next day I find my lineatus wrasse on the floor.............

I love my tank

PG13 I guess we haven't done as good a job as we could have ... if that is the rating your giving us.

I am sure we could bump that to at least PG18 if you like.
