Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So no flashing against the sand? I haven't seen this with a chrysus. My leopard occasionally tracks herself up and down the glass when it's just been cleaned and is very reflective.

Maybe try holding a mirror up on the other side of the tank and see if it is going after the mirror reflection. Maybe becoming a bit aggressive towards conspecifics?
Ya no flashing or marks on it’s body. It’s like he sees himself and the fish he is looking at is a threat. I’ll try and find a mirror, thanks.
 
I saved a couple of frags from a tank that was destroyed a few weeks back. only ones to make it was a zoa and a duncan. They are doing great. The duncan looks bigger than mine.

before while in my makeshift tub.

I have a big colony of these. They're one of my fastest growers. Yours has a bit brighter green lashes. Nice ones
 
@kevgib67 , I won a small gift card from a coral retailer about 2 months ago, I purchased 2 zoa frags, had problems when dipping. They were loaded with flat worms and vermitid snails. One cleaned up nicely, one is still in my crab tank. I purchase based on color, not name, have you seen this one before

I agree with t
Tim, purple people eaters.
 
Happy to be here! I heard that this is where all the cool kids hang.
They're all here anyways, but I'm trying to get as much mileage out of this stupid reel as humanly possible, so here you go:
