With Blue Stripes males have a saw like ridges on the top of their snout. Females the snout is smooth. Google it, there are pics online. Here are some somewhat recent pics of tank. 20 drop off has a pair of blue stripes. 60 has a Jann’s, a bunch of fish and a pair of Seahorses.

I keep my ponies at 75F.
Have you run into any issues that could be related to keeping ponies at 75F?

Just wondering, as I guess 75F would yield better coral growth than 74F and lower.

Thanks!!

No real issues after a few years. One male developed a bloated pouch from a dead brood inside but I don't think that is temp related at all. We see erectus sp. In the Gulf which can get as high as 85F in the summer. I think like anything else, things can do well at a constant level. It's fluctuating temp, salt, ECT. Tt
That can be an issue.
