awesome wrasse! 1smile1


Thanks Marvin! Im a little worried though. He has a little white spot on the side of his head.. Not sure, but im hoping it might have been a little cut that is healing up. You can see it in the pic. Any idea on what it is?

Update, Flame wrasse looks to be about 95% healed up from a cut on his head which is awesome! I was pretty worried about that.
In other news I have a bad problem with blue clove polyps.. I was dumb enough to add a frag of it over a year ago and not it is covering about 85% of my rock.. :cry: So with a little reseach I found that fluk tabs will get ride of them. But you have to be careful because it can take out inverts and snails. I also have a nice huge chunk of GSP that i keep confined to its own little rock so it too does not take over. I trim it once a month so it doesn't reach the main rock structure. Anyway, the tabs will take out the GPS as well. The tabs will take out BCP, GSP, Leathers, and i also saw someone having a problem with coco worms. I took my GPS, coco worm, and Leather and moved it to my biocube for the time being. Im selling the leather to a friend of mine anyway. I just hope after treatment with a fresh water change and carbon I can add my coco worm and GSP back in the tank with out causing issues to them.. I was unable to catch my cleaner shrimp to get him out.. Chances are very slim of him making it out of this treatment alive.. I added the tab last night. I turned off my skimmer and GFO/carbon reactor and will remain off for 4 days.. This is scary!! lol

Night 2 after fluke tab dose. Every thing seems just fine. Everything except my blue clove polyps!! They look like they are hurting. Finally going to get ride of these buggers! None of my other corals seem to be affected at all as of now. So that is very good :) I will update tomorrow

Update on my tangs! So I had 4 massive tangs in my tank. I was able to get my hippo out 2 weeks ago and sold him to a local. I was able to catch my naso yesterday and my purple tang this morning. I brought them over to WWC for store credit and they already have what i want. Im just waiting to get my sailfin tang out. He does not seem to be going into the fish trap to get algae like the others... He is going to be a hard one to get..

Good luck with getting the sailfin out. What do you plan on adding?
