That's what I'm hoping for!

Zach, it's tough when there is other fish around the Mandy. As you know, they are very slow eaters. Plastic cup, plastic small bowl with a hole big enough for the mandy to get in. Hole at the top to place the pipette into to feed it. Keeps the other fish out.

Here are some other fun shots I took this evening

So far so good. Everyone is eating except the mandarin. Which I expected. I'm going to target feed it some pods tonight.

I have seen several different twists on this idea. If u manage to get the mandarin to realize the "food dispenser" is a guaranteed lunch ticket it goes to it regularly.

Fingers crossed for ya crabs.

that potter's angel in qt is so cute, one of my favorite fish, both beautiful and adorable!

Well it appears I'm on the upswing. Not everyone can be successful 100% of the time. And part of success is learning from failures. I'm no different.
I almost completely lost a mind trick colony and a superman monti, and some of my acros started loosing tissue at the tips. I do not know for certain if it was my source water or salt mix, but I've changed both and my corals are slowly recovering.

Still has polyps and is starting to color up again.

 

[Victoria M]

Good News! I am so happy to hear that.

Coral beauty, flame, and potters I've all had good luck with. Although I'm nursing my coral beauty back to health right now. I dont know if the tangs were bugging her but shed stay hidden in one area of the tank and would never come out. This went on for a few months and today she finally came out and wasnt looking good at all. Very skinny and malnourished despite me trying to drop food right where she was hiding. So I scooped her out and put her in the sump so shes all alone. Hopefully I can get her back up to par.

 

[Why-Me]

Hopefully she bounces back.
