Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

[CoralB]

I’ve wondered if there’s something in my tank that keeps them from doing it. Heck, the last one left sits atop of the gyre pump no where near the rock.

Kevin has a mantis shrimp which probably chase anything away .

Yes. Petco has the captive bred for $40 frequently out here in AZ. I had one for a year or so. Eliminated all my Aiptasia then started pecking at a Micromussa. Never hurt it, just pecked around underneath the flesh and irritated it so it stayed mostly closed. Soon after the Filefish was rehomed the Micro opened back up.

Problem with the Filefish: my Aiptasia problem came back after the fish was rehomed. Berghia and Pepper shrimp seems to do a better job of actually eradicating rather than just keeping them at bay?

You can always go with Tim’s suggestion

I have 2 running around in there that came on the rock. Likely the ones terrorizing the shrimp.

You guys have to try Kona coffee with coconut . The stuff they sell around here is only 10 percent but if you find 100 % you’ll die for it . It is so good probably my favorite

Kona Peaberry. I've had Kona coffee. Dark roast, medium roast, light roast, and black and tan. Also Peaberry - both chocolate covered and medium roast

Jamaican blue is good as well that’s a nice smooth cup

Haven't had Jamaican Blue Mountain but I've heard really good things about it.

No I don’t , I had to get rid of him because I only had a 75 gallon . I got him as a baby and he was hanging out with my Kole tang and then he got too big . He was the Naso tang .

You have to try the Kona with coconut from there factory . You would not believe how it tastes . No sugar no cream just straight coffee.
It is manufactured in Hawaii

I'm sure you were sad to see him go. I love the Naso and my wife's favorite. Sooner or later the Sailfin and/Or the Naso will likely be too big for my 180. They do get quite large.

I bet! They have great personalities and a beautiful fish.

Similarly, my dog got too big for my old tank.

Oh my god , was that tank full ? How did you get him out ?

Haha! Just messing with you. Some random picture I found on the web. Thought it was hilarious. Well, it's funny because it wasn't my tank.
