Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Good night all, I think I have a fish who think frogspawn is some Grinch peeps (learnt from you) as I can see time to time floating glowing green dot but it becomes bigger pieces. Unfortunately today it was sitting on the lepto which was not doing too good. My conch is shy, I will never get a pics like you Kevin. It can see me miles away.
Those floating green bits sometimes become babies.
 
Aww, he is following him like a lil puppy
She is following him, silly. The Chrysus is still a female. For now at least.
 
Good morning! Sitting here nursing a cup of coffee and acting like I'm working.
 
Might make more money that way.
Old folks homes need entertainment :upside-down-face:
But they're on fixed incomes.
 
So as our resident wrasse lover/expert; who keeps a variety of them, do they just like an extra CUC snack on occasion and you just know to replenish CUC more often? And I’m speaking of the basic team, snails/ hermit crabs
I honestly find it’s every so often when they’re truly hungry that they go for CUC. It’s also most commonly the larger species like Halichoeres chloropterus that go for CUC. But there is ways around it;
Species of snail that are nocturnal, have hard shells, can flip themselves and also ones that hide in the sand are perfect IME. But as mentioned above always having a certain amount of CUC is great - snails often die for no reason so it’ll be great to replenish them.

Also good morning to those on the other side of the lake from one of my favourite flashers/fairies in my collection!

It's lovely I remember seeing one in a video they are not reef safe.
Not reef safe.
I saw a full grown grey in an aquarium in Germany long time ago that must have been 2 feet long, like a floating basketball.
They eat sponges in the wild, lots of greens. Eat all day.
My French would eat lettuce, spinach, eggs, snails. Whatever. She was a good eater.
