    Hello from Miami

    No there fine just another part of a clean up crew .. But and it's a big but they can be quite aggressive to some of the shy species of fish .. I have added a few emerald crabs and a file fish ..

    Coralline algae and Jar reef

    Why are we feeding coral people ?? I spent weeks feeding my plate coral and wondering why it never came out ... Because I was feeding him . If you turn all your pumps and power heads off when feeding they will pick up enough food to survive and thrive .. Made all these little mistakes and...
