Hello everyone,

I’m wondering if someone else is also going through this… I started off with one nem in my 13.5 gal EVO which was my first saltwater tank ever about 2 years ago, fast forward to today and my biggest tank is filled with them to the point where they’re actually going into free-swim mode hoping to find a better spot since all the good ones are already taken. Not complaining but I do have to harvest them on a weekly basis now, usually get 2-3 new baby nems every week. I’ve given them away to fellow reefers and local fish stores and still don’t know what to do with the extra nems sometimes.
Never thought they’d take over the tank BUT I’m really glad they did because it makes the rock work completely disappear.
Pictures and a video attached.
hope everyone has a good weekend! 9A79E08C-74C9-43C3-89A3-BC6F9CD679CC.jpeg 15F4D58D-899D-41AA-A254-FE84569E1560.jpeg 54B8CE2A-5D60-49B9-80F1-19DED1A60761.jpeg

I can relate :D

I have so far been able to keep them on one of the two rock islands in my tank. It's not been easy to do so.

Such a beautiful nem island! I hear that, sometimes I’ll find a nem or two on my filter socks as well..
