Gboy & NuNu's RSM250 update!!

[Mrc8858]

Ya mrc i was thinking about that just the other day, but then i realized it might not be the best idea because you should wait roughly 6 months or more before getting a nem... And who would wait 6 months before adding coral you know? Just a thought

That's why you do a second tank that way you can have the pleasure of corals while you wait and a nem tank is a great excuse for a second setup.... I better start showing the gf some rbta pics

Wow nice! Hopefully you will have the same lick we've had.

Wow nice! Hopefully you will have the same lick we've had.

I sure hope so! My clowns have never tried to host anything so i hope i get lucky. Mine are perculas. Yours are occelaris right?

Correct. Think it makes a difference if they were wild caught or not? My wild caught (i think) clown is the one hosting!

From what I read, not experience wild caughts are much more likely to host a clown.

This is my experience, too. Although I never had a clown that didn't host a mushroom leather for whatever reason. Even tank raised ones eventually joined the party.

 

[Gboy66]

Hey thanks for the thoughts matt and coralline. I had a hunch that the wild caught ones would have a better defined "instinct".

I hope Connie joing the party soon! Its a rager! Lol

There is no such thing as a wild caught black clowns right?

Wild caught clowns are definitly more likely to host

They are very rare but some wild caughts exist that are rare morphs.. that's how some are actually produced

Yeah but from my understanding there are some clowns in the wild that are a bit darker then others, but there are not all black clowns like the ones we have in our aquariums... I assume the darker ones are bred together and the offspring get darker and darker, eventually leading to the all black clowns we have today...

Oh i guess this could be true!! Maybe Billay the clown is just hosting because he is older

Yep, that's how they do it!!

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Not much to say about the tank... Everything is growing and happy got a few free corals from a nice guy in our area and they are doing great! We got a purple haze, yellow acro, ricordia mushroom, trumpet coral, a hammer coral, and some new palys!!

 

[needmorecowbell]

That's a lot of free stuff!

 

[CorallineAlgae]

That'd cost a boatload of cash at the shops in my area. That really is a cool guy to give you all that! Reefers are the best kinds of people.

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Hahaha thanks guys, he was reallyyyy generous! Reefers do rule, lol i agree

[Nu-Nu the eel]
