Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thanks very nice of you but I was looking for something a little different .
Coral banded shrimp (shrimp and corals together are a no for me) some wrasses, olive snails maybe?
 
The best thing I did for my worm colony was to shrink it. And Ive learn to feed them in only one small spot. Im figuring if you draw them together to eat, they may find other activities that lead to more worms!
I could say something here but not sure if appropriate?

Already have a couple of wrasses , a melanarus and a yellow coris but they only take care of the large ones . A CBB would be nice if I could train it to eat the little guys . At night they everywhere .
 
a yellow coris
Just so everyone here on this thread knows (since 90% of you use this terminology), Yellow Coris does not exist. It is a Chrysus.

Nice try. We already know you're too old to have taken the new math.
 
Rebel is very upset with me. Got the past two days he had come back in the house from being outside and I have been baking cookies and have not given him one. He was so funny he would look toward the counter where the cookies are cooling and look at me and bark and when I told him no he couldn't have one he would look at my husband then look back at the counter again and bark at him like he was saying daddy make momma give me a cookie...

Actually it probably has to do with spell check on my I pad . Yeah that’s it . 🤣

It's a pet peeve with some since it is not a member of the Coris family. Considering how many common names of fish, coral, etc. have common names that not only do not honor their taxonomy but isn't even a fairly accurate description, I don't care if they call it Fred. The main thing is that none of the coris wrasses are appropriate long term for the average home aquaria and wrasse geeks want to be sure you know it. To be fair, calling a species by a whole different genus name is rather silly and I have no idea what hair-brain started it, but it wasn't me, honest.
