Nope, we're playing chicken to see who gives in first. The peach hammer next to it looks perfect so I'm going with it just doesn't want to live any more. Kind of like wall hammers but a much slower process.

That hammer has been in three different tanks, been through Flux-RX, AlgaeFix and Cipro treatments, been moved a half dozen times in the current tank had three different light sources over it in the current tank and flow from non-existent to ripping the flesh off it. I think it is just plain tired. I traded salt I was going to throw away for it when it was two heads, it is now 24+ heads. If it wants to die, it has earned the right to do so. I'm not mucking with the tank over one coral, or even a few. I'm starting to transition the tank to a more SPS-focused tank and probably going to start carbon dosing, maybe some automation down the road, change from 2-part to All For Reef, etc. over the next few months. Either that or I'll just leave everything as is. We'll see.

Sounds like you have a solid game plan sir. If you need anything, we are here for ya

So I stopped by my LFS for more frozen fish food during lunch and they had the cutest little yellow watchman goby and a beautiful ruby red dragonet but I didn't buy either of them.

<yoda voice> strong is self restraint in this one

You have more will power than I. The dragonet would have been in a bag going on to bigger and better places!

Dang, knocked my NY Knicks torch off the rock and it fragged my monti cap using Tim’s Technique. Might as well frag it, I think I’ll cut some of the skeleton off below the flesh band so it sits lower as it has grown so big you can’t see the other three torches well. I’ll have to do it later as I have a meeting at 3:00.

It seems like it's always something in this hobby Kevin. I can't wait to see you get it fixed and back into its beautiful order!

It was super hard to resist because it was so stunning but I don't know if I have enough pods in my system to feed it and if I'm not mistaken that's all they will eat right? If you guys tell me it will eat frozen I will have to have it...

My wife's and mine eat pellets and frozen food. Most will as their diet isn't as restricted to pods as Mandarins. Id ask the lfs about this particular specimen, but yeah ours eat any and everything

@Calmwaters

The rest of my fish are super fast eaters I could try it though. What would you guys do?

 

[tbrown]

Were able to get some rest last night or did you get called in to help?

I got about a 15 minute nap after last night's post and then the call came. I've only been up working since 4:30 am yesterday. Not too bad. Finally on my way home. Not quite sure if they're done but I'm done. After 4 pm yesterday all my time was free/donated and I have a headache.

Wendy's Drive Thru currently then home!

That warms my heart to hear you say that!

Be careful, that warm feeling could be her oven or crock pot!

 

[tbrown]

You don't want it looking at you the whole time!

Why not?

Definitely check with the LFS first though. I tried one thinking my system had a ton of pods. Unfortunately, copper was sky high in the system, so my pods had all died, and mine wouldn't eat anything else. My fault. I was used to a different LFS who got theirs eating before selling, so I didn't ask.

He would only need to worry about that with Kevin....

I think it just came in today. I'm going text my friend that works there to see if she knows anymore about it.
