Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I am officially starting the Lobophyllia craze.

Wow that's pretty!!!

 

[Katrina71]

Noonsies? Wow, not what I thought that was

;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious And this is why this is one of the best threads on R2R.

I just gave you the mom look!

Lol. I’ll get it done mom.

Right. You are actually disappointed because food was the other option.

So, it appears that a partial theme has developed with the fans of this thread of posting pics of their fish and corals. In keeping with the partial theme, I thought I would post a pic of a puffer my daughter got me for my birthday recently. It has quickly become the lowest maintenance fish I have ever owned.

I would like to introduce "Hufflepuff." (Take a wild guess what Kyla's all-time favorite book and movie series is!)

Is your tank big enough for that guy or girl, or am I not suppose to gender identify. Any ways we expect your tank to be big enough.

As a guy from Midland, TX I know says, "We ain't got no cupcakes in this house!" It's a HE and I will upgrade the tank for HIM when the time comes!

That's the kind of statement I can understand.

 

[Katrina71]

Not me! Every house is better with cupcakes!

Are Lobos more likely to eat fish than trachys?

Look up mesenterial fillaments.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Short story long, they turn their stomach inside out and eat whatever is next to them, and by next to, I mean 6"-8" away from their mouth.

I know what those are. Just wondering why lobos are more aggressive.

What about trachys?

 

[Katrina71]

Would I be correct that trachys feed like a blasto, and lobos more like an acan? Sorta?

 

[NY_Caveman]

I would assume the Lobophyllia is more aggressive.

I know a number of people like this...

This Lobophyllia had his filaments out and they were long. I gave him a wide berth. I would say similar to the Acanthastrea, but the Acan feeders are pretty short. Only a couple of inches. The Lobo’s are much longer. 6-8” sounds right.

EDIT: I will try and spot feed him tomorrow. Maybe one of the kids can help with a video.

 

[mch1984]

I can just comment on experience. I’ve seen lobos kill coral that gets within 6” of them. My trachy has candy canes, a Duncan and another trachy sitting next to it and there hasn’t been a problem.
