Thrash Attack Thursday
coris gaimard - red coris wrasse

These were shot under early morning blues, so the coloring in his face is difficult to capture.
Roar!

Those greens can get out of control. Better leave the orange alone.

The greens have been in there forever... they aren't as prolific as I thought they would be, thankfully.
The jawbreaker just went in and may or may not be settled there for sure. I had it in a cage for a few days before it would attach anywhere.

edit: I only think you were talking about the mushrooms? lol

I have a 300 xl with reefmat 500 with a bubble magus curve 5 skimmer. I have an older R.O. 150ss. Been a great skimmer for years but is running on another tank.
My coral started looking bad a couple of months after adding the roller. I thought the roller was pulling too much out so I shut it down. Coral started looking better. What I'm doing now is running the mat and have the drain open to the skimmer and letting it drain into the roller. I may end up just pulling skimmer, still working on things.
You'll probably just have to see what works for you in your tank. I have 4 tanks currently and each runs differently.
Since the tank will be next to your bed maybe turn off the auto advance on the roller at night. I sleep lightly and the sound of the roller advancing would wake me up. My bedroom tank is a reefer 170 with no skimmer and Reef diapers for socks.

Here’s mine…

I'm just seeing this thread. A somewhat local reefer gifted me this Black Leopard Wrasse and I'm obsessed with him now. It took 8 days of waiting for him to come out. He's eating pods and mysis

How rare are babis?

Babies? They take around 9 months to catch after trying for a little bit (sometimes no trying is necessary). Although, occasionally a stork will catch one and drop it off at your house from what I've seen on TV.

Took a while to get mine. Haven’t seen them for the past year.
