Thanks, I learned something new! So another question, when you are buying can you determine make/female? Or is it luck of the draw?

I guess it's time for me to do a little research on these guys.
Luck of the draw. No way to visually tell the difference.

@Dsnakes i have a few small gobies that cruise the sandbed.

What are your thoughts on me getting a few rock flower nems?

Potentially dragonettes in the future or a mandarin

Thanks

Mike

I guess I better pay attention, my wife is on a mission to buy some. If you guys can stretch the truth on the answer in my favor it could save me a couple hundred bucks.

Now that I know I’m not moving, it’s time to stock!

I’m wanting 3-4 rock flowers and maybe 2-3 mini maxi carpet nems.

I am amazed with the colors of the rock nems. I never paid that much attention to them, but in the last few days I have seen 100's of pics...wow they are cool! I'm almost afraid to look at the mini maxi carpets, but now that you have my curiosity going I'm going to look. Im sure my wife will be thanking you next. :D

Sorry for posting so many pics in your thread @Dsnakes

But in all fairness, you started it [emoji2]

I think they would be fine with the Rock Flowers. Mine did get pretty sticky now that they settled in though. I see my serpent star trying to steal food and having to pull back quickly. The fish steer clear of them so far.

Nice looking minis! From what I have read, there are far more accounts of maxi minis catching and eating fish than rock flowers.

Thanks @Dsnakes ! I have kept the mini maxis up on the rock away from the sand. I personally never lost a fish to them.

What happens when you get reported?

Is your serpent star out during the day? If so, what kind is it?
