Default Thank you Tony!

As some of you know Tony watched over my remaining livestock after our horrible thanksgiving day crash.

Everything came back to us in amazing shape. My clams were obviously thriving in his tank because this is how they've returned to me:

Look at the growth that came back on this one! All the clams had a lot of growth when they came back, easily 3/4" on this one, and at least 1/4-1/2 on all the others.


These guys all grew a lot and got placed together on a rock. They need to be separated because they are soon going to start growing into each other


This guy came back with TONS of extra eyes



Thank you Tony!

Wow those are beautiful clams. I am so jealous...

I am so glad to hear you are recovering from your disaster, kudos to you for hanging in there. Also, your food is a miracle!!! If you make anymore please let me know, I will buy it in bulk. It is awesome.

LOL.

I need to buy a new blender to make more food, although this time I'll probably go with a food processor.

Hey, you're welcome. I'm just glad I was in a position to help. Circumstances just worked out this way this time. Sorry that the clams are all on one rock, I did try to give them enough elbow room .. they were so desperate to attach to something, I thought it best if they at least attached to your own rock. There were two in particular I had to separate because they kept attaching to their neighbour's shell which wasn't working out that great .. one would be horizontal and pulling the other over.

My rabbitfish are missing their friends a lot.

I'm hoping maybe they'll walk away from each other. One jumped off the rock last night, so I'm kind of hoping the others will realize that they are a little too close to each other and do the same.

What kind of rabbit? I have heard they sometimes nip clams??? I kind of want to add my rabbit to my reef but I am scared of it nipping corals or clams. Its a Blue Spotted Rabbit.

I currently have a pair of doliatus. Before that I had a pair of virgatus (very similar to doliatus, a little larger). Neither species took interest in clams.
