Found out I had one to lol so far just loves algae

i have something like 6 or 7 this big one, one half its size. And three or four from the size of a nickel down to half a penny.

same for me as far as what they go after. Just left over flake, pellet, nori, or the rocks. They knock stuff over but this tank is temporary so

is it weird that realizing my clowns and foxface will live for another decade at least made me want to dive even further into this hobby?

i don’t think so. Because as aquarists we are first and foremost responsible for the life forms in our care.

that said. Grateful I realized this in a satori sort of way 2 years in before I tried things I wasn’t ready for.

We welcome everyone, except for those stick heads that are too "scared" to keep a nem as it might walk all over their sticks lol.

We be all like this when they walk up.

Older pic, as this 180 s now tore down and residing at a friends house while he has a new tank built.

I say let them walk. They usually take the easiest path and that is not over sticks lol. If they do walk and touch a stick, they will not typically kill it, just damage some tissue and if things are stable, the sps will heal.

That is me though, as nems are #1, SPS is # 2 for me.

Excuse the pooping nem, there is always one when I take a pic lol.
