I saw one recently at a lfs in a 5"x5"X5" (tiny) display cube that I considered buying just to get it into a decent living space. These are very cool fish. I may have to stop by that store this week and see if it's still there. (Gotta keep up with @WV Reefer :) )

Is your tank covered? I want one but I know most wrasses jump and I do t have a cover

I do not have a cover on any of my tanks....... but on this tank, both lights sit on the rim and sort of act as a cover.

Is that a Pitho crab? I have one of those myself. I never know where he’s going to pop out of the sand at when I feed lol. Fun addition to the tank.

yes.......He’s very cool but I haven’t seen him in awhile.

Hmmm. I had/have 2 of them. I thought one was dead for weeks then I looked after lights out one night and there were 2. /shrug
I may order another with my next reefcleaners order. I have a Valentini that whittles down the cuc. He’s worth it though.

I had to remove the large Cup Coral as it had finally reached the surface. It was about 4” x 4” which seems huge in a tank that is only 8” deep! It will now live out it’s life in the 75 gallon tank.

I’m happy I didn’t destroy it and the reef getting it out!

Pics of it after removal and placed in the 75.

I have a similar issue with green stag horn. It has grown really well, some hitting the top of the water. My problem is that I hate to trim even the side growth because I don’t need any more in my tank and I can’t find anyone that I can give them to.

Wonderful! I follow your tanks and appreciate what you have goin on there. That will be a good addition to the 75. I hope one day to have similar successes.

thank you!

Now I have to figure out how to mount it...... it’s sooooo top heavy.
