Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
John has one too, I've had mine for about that time or less Kev, today when I get home from work I'm going to check it out because I move it a little but I didn't see any reaction.
Hopefully I just was unlucky, I hope John chimes in, I was really getting my hopes up.
 
Bacterial infection from the injury?
No it was maybe 3 to 4 months later, no infection from the injury. One day a leg was not on the glass and others follow by disintegrating. I was thinking about sand shifting but you answer so I will pass.

I didn't say anything at the time because he was such a fan favorite. Sadly he's dead. He was up on the glass as usual, climbing on the magna float. I had just taken a photo of him. I dropped some pellets in my tank and they fell by the zoas. So I came back about 20 mins later and he was in the zoa garden. Then my entire nassarius herd emerged and, I kid you not.. ate him with the pellets. I've saved countless hermits from these snails. They ripped up the poor guy in almost no time. I know people will say the got him bc he died. I was there for the whole thing and unless he had an immediate heart attack, the snails killed him

Good morning John! How is that hammer looking brother?
Good morning brother! I didn't get a chance to see it today, I left home before lights came on. It hasn't lost any color and showed the slightest sing of some minor extension. I'm cautiously hopeful for sure.
