Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I will be helping with a low cost coggins testing and vaccine clinic for horses, dogs and cats today with my riding group so i won't be online much until we get done. Last year they did 108 horses, lots and lots of dogs and a few cats so it should be a busy event.
 
In my pico?
Yes for your pico, sorry for the late answer, I fell asleep last night around 9pm lol, now I woke up, or something like this too

Good morning Smorgster! The porcelain crab found in home over night, he looks content.

How many do you have Kev? The question is whether you can have more than one. The last experience I had with crabs wasn't good, but I've read that these are safer.
 
My god what is that?
It's crazy!
That’s my duncan, it’s crazy big . The last time I counted, quite awhile ago, it had 72 heads. It needs to be fragged but I haven’t figured out a game plan. It’s not branching more like if you cut a softball in half and set the flat side on a surface. Flesh is connected to all. All the videos I’ve watched show the branching type.

I had a few before this one but always one at a time. They seem to find a spot, coral that they like and don’t venture far. I’d imagine multiple ones would be fine especially in your size tank. There were many together in a small tank at my lfs. I was hoping it would make a home in my green rfa after all they are also called anemone crabs.

So you need an anemone to have them?

No, but an anemone will host them. That is kinda cool., I hope it eventually finds the rfa. Here’s one of my previous ones that made a home in my gsp.

That's awesome! Have a good day!
 
My wife seems to hate having me out of her sight, she thinks this 60 year old still has to fight women off, lol
You go brother!! Lady killer!
 
Ok been a busy evening but I finally got time to get pictures of the newbies with the exception of the tangerine zoas because their epoxy/glue didn't hold so they had fallen so since I had to place them again they were closed up. Do you guys think I should figure out some way to get more flow to the Duncan tomorrow? I think the polyps should be moving around more...
Nice finds Amanda!!
