Thanks, it sucks but happens. I already had pods and I added more a couple of days before.So sorry about the losses. Did you add pods when you added the mandarin, or had you seeded the tank with pods before introducing? I apologize if you stated this earlier on. Definitely going to have to look back through it all and check everything out. I have two mandarins (blue and spotted), and I’m trying to find the appropriate amount of pods to introduce over time myself. You have some beautiful corals and photos.
But my yellow goby and damsel both eat them so it wasn't helping the situation. Also my tang was fairly aggressive towards the mandarin and urchin...but doesn't bother anything else.
Thanks, the corals are growing lots.
