I see what I believe is a tyree sunset monti in there where do u have it located?

Lol I have two of those also, one is located on a tonga branch about 6 inches from the bottom and the other on the side of a rock near the bottom, hoping it will grow down the side

Giving the P. Tuka a try I know they are a difficult species to keep, but I couldn't resist. Had three one perished within 4 days of purchase

My Nem split. About a month ago I thought it was dying it looked terrible, was afraid it was going to die an pollute the tank. It had lost its color I couldn't remove it because it was in a deep rock crevice. I tried force feeding it a couple of times, then decided to leave it alone and just watch it closely. It started to look better after a while. It would do that bulb thing that try do and pull back into the crevice, a couple of days ago two emerged from different crevices. So glad I let it be

Such a beautiful tank and such a great attention to detail. I also love seeing Heniochus in there. I haven't seen any tanks with them in some time.

Thanks for the compliments my friend, but that's a Moorish Idol. Kinda wish it was a Heniochus, I"d still have some Acans LOL

 

[revaltion131]

Well first I apologize. I completely missed that! Second, awesome! I hope the animal continues to do well for you, lost acans aside! I'd love to have one but that challenge is not one that I am up for.

So my bubble tip anemone had been in the same spot for about 6-8 months, then the big event it split woo hoo. well this past week both decided they didn't like that spot anymore one moved just a few inches to another rock, no problem then the other started moving upward in the tank toward some precious SPS watched for a few days and it just hung underneath a bridge, I knew it would come up for light and the most likely places would be very near SPS . Yesterday while at work I decided to check the tank on camera and sure enough it had popped up right between my birds nest and Oregon Tort so all day I worried about it stinging them. fortunately that didn't happen and the Anemone had attached to a rock I could remove. Took it out used a credit card to lift the foot and detach him from said rock which also had my tort on it, put the tort back in its place. now I have a free anemone. at this moment I thought about catching my new WW Ocellaris and trying to force hosting, but decided against it not wanting to chase the clowns down to catch them . hopefully since there are two anemones their chances of finding one has doubled. As soon as I placed the removed anemone back in the tank close to where it had traveled from but with a bit less shadowing, it attached and looks very happy now fingers crossed it stays in place
