[Sonomakid]

Awesome, I am definitely going to get some in different colors. But got that 2 birdnest some UN named zoas and green star polyps for 25 bucks

That's a great deal! Duncans are cool too! They grow fast and its cool to watch them feed.

 

[Sonomakid]

Cool! Are you getting some growth on some of the older frags yet?

 

[Sonomakid]

[54seaweed]

Just can't get over all the progress looks great

 

[Sonomakid]

Its been a long while and long journey.... so i guess its time i update a little. I added a couple zoas in the past months but nothing fish wise till recently. in the past 2 weeks i have added a yellow tail damsel and a yellow damsel i know i know dont do it but they get along great and even with the clowns. So then the wife told me it was time and we had money thats right money !!! That i could order a new tank so tonight i ordered a 96g cornerw/stand and since i was getting the bigger tank i decided to add 1 last fish to this tank since everything is getting transfered, i added a coral beauty.

 

[Reefer4eva]

As much as I like them and the flame angel just can't bring myself to buy one..the last one I had chewed up a whole colony of my utter chaos zoas

 

[Sonomakid]

Yeah i have read about them being munchers, but i dont have anything into the corals i do have now so i wasnt to worried about it.

So after coming home from a long day of swimming and watching butterflys i find this tiny thing on the front wall of my tank.... Baby Starfish of some sort ?

Yea no biggy, but they can become one... we have tons of them in our frag tanks at work but we keep fish that make a quick snack of them in there to keep them undercontrol. I think that they are a bad thing to have in your reef because they take any advantage they get to reproduce and they pretty much just sap all the good things that are in your water from any corals! (I think)
