Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Tried to eat the thing raw? Never had escargot but I’d be willing to try once at least. I mean I’ve had chickens feet and frog legs at a Chinese restaurant and it seems that under weird they top that.
It has the texture of a clam smothered in the magical sauce, butter and garlic.
 
Also they have poison spurs in their hind legs and webbing like a duck as well a tail that is shaped like a beavers and a bill like a duck…weirdest mammal ever
Ya, definitely not as beautiful as a seahare!
 
I've blown my nose before after mowing the lawn and it resembled a seahare
You must have beautiful snot Rock! Post a picture when you have time.
 
🤣 sorry Kev, I know you are fond of them. I had one a long time ago, it was impressive at how much algae they eat. I wouldn't have one now, it would starve in my tank.

They definitely make a wonderful center piece, too bad.
 
Came home to the Stylo peeling like dead sunburnt skin this morning. Looked fine last night. Gonis unhappy as is their wont lately but the torches and encrusters (.including favia) looked ok. Just to be sure I did a fairly large WC. Bought new tweezers/forceps as the ones I have were already pretty beat up..And pick up another small wave maker for the opposite side of the tank. Hit the bed early cause I’m going in to cover half a shift for a coworker who needed to leave early. And now I’ve been up due to old person “I need to pee” issues. Since I wasn’t sleepy really I came onboard to relax a bit before trying to get more sleep.
 
Yall just come right on down. I'd love to meet everyone of you! Yall bring some deer meat, I'll have the shrimp and crabs covered, and Rock can bring the zoas!

🤣
Man that would be an awesome party!!!

I do enjoy some frog legs. Haven't had chicken feet though.
