High end coral 13.5

I wouldn’t as if you have clowns in your 4’ then they’ll be the most risky ones to watch for if your new pair did annoy torches.
Also, those clowns if I’m honest just look like misbar black storms.

nah i don't have clowns in my 4ft i have
powder blue
goldflake
purple tang
midas blenny
poor mans candy basslet
lemon peel angel
silver belly bananna wrasse

 

[Dave1993]

but i have ich in the 4 foot so the clowns might not be able to take it that's why i havent added any more fish in the 90

 

[Dave1993]

quick update with adding the rock from my 90 i have high phosphates got them down to 0.21 and nitrates are now detectable 57ppm going to do 2 more water changes to get them to 11ppm and corals are arriving next friday (hopefully if no strikes are on with the delivery men)

My girl loves clowns. we started with 8 orange. We been rescuing clowns from tank tear downs. We now have 11. Got a mis bar mocha and a pair of black storms. All is well. Yes a day of learning to get along and then all was fine. Been 6 months now, but we have a 300 with lots of rock formations that create areas to be claimed....The black storms are my favorite, they add white to the sea of colors...

[Dave1993]

[Dave1993]

theres a hitchhiker stuck to the top of the coral though its like a white claw looks abit like a feather duster the claw keeps coming out then retracting don't think my camera would pick it up though don't seem to be bothering the torch so going to leave it

 

[Dave1993]

Blurry picture but it keeps coming out and retracting anyone got any idea what it is

 

[i cant think]

Are you sure it’s not the mouth having a feeding response?

It could be a hitchhiking crab (what species can be hard to tell with just a claw)

nah its like stuck on the top of the coral ppl saying it porcelain crab

 

[Dave1993]

so this rock outlined by the red line is going to be for torches but that is like 1/4th of my tank any ideas what other corals i should do for the rest of the 3/4ths of the tank i will be getting a scoly for the sand at some point but no really nices ones for sale online in the uk atm

also seen this coral but done abit research and they are pretty much impossible to keep as you can see from the top and the left side it is already receding Symphyllia wilsoni it is called and for the £400 price tag i don't want to take the risk with a impossible to keep coral that is already receding

 

[Dave1993]

Torch was ticked off this morning cranked the flow up too 100% and it seems happier
