I don't have the guts to slice them lol. As long as the nem stays put and doesn't go godzilla on my corals, then it can stay gigantic. You are a nem guru, do you know if rock nems split? I thought they only popped out babies. I had bought a rock nem about a year ago and it immediately spit out babies, I only ever found 3 in the old tank. There are now 7 or 8 all within 4 inches of each other and the mother is nowhere near them in this tank, nor can I find any babies elsewhere in the tank.

They don't split, just reproduce sexually.

Uh, they're having sex. did you not learn about that?

I know about the birds and the bees thank you very much lol. But they are babies! Most are smaller then a pencil eraser! Or are they like hamsters and can get pregnant at ridiculously young ages lol. I doubt the mom is still spitting them out, she has moved to a terrible place and is almost as small as the babies now!

Sorry about that last one, I need to clean my glass. I've apparently taken a liking to bowerbankiis because I've acquired 3 in the past 2 weeks, I did win the last one added at my clubs fragging workshop;) also my adorable, quirky jawfish mysteriously passed away. He was just lying in his barnacle one day:( he was apparently healthy up until his death and I have no hidden predators as far as I can tell, all my rock has started out dry too, so none could have hitchhiker. I may never know the cause, but I can't stand to look at his lonely barnacle, so I ordered a blue spotted jawfish to fill the void. Provided QT goes well he will not be the only new fishy addition for the 90;)

I've got them set up in my office since I am there more then at home to keep an eye on them. I've seen the leopard wrasse out and about a few times, but she stays mostly hidden in the sand. I am extremely pleased with how good everyone looks though. The red margin looked horrible in the shipping bag, but I now know that is because he is the drama queen of the bunch lol. My beautiful old blue sided was the same way, any sort of stress and he would play dead:rolleyes:

Look who decided to come out and say hello while I was doing a WC:)

She is so tiny and adorable! I couldn't decide between her or a blue star. I ended up going with a regular leopard wrasse because like the male colors better, but i am sort of hoping she stays female now, I love her colors!

Thank you Dawn, I often drool over your gorgeous sea horses;Shamefullyembarrased. One day I will have my own little pony corral! I'll have some free space in my office when these guys come home! You'll have to let me know the next time you have some babies;)

It's hard not to love those wrasses! I can't wait to get my 120 up and going. My female Dusky Wrasse would love to have more room than the 20 shes in now!
