Some new additions

 

[iDream]

Is that Green star polyps? That colony is gonna look awesome when it comes out, nice pickups!

 

[Chris182]

Here is another

 

[iDream]

Awesome colony! Mind fragging me off a piece?

 

[Chris182]

Lol cheers, it does look awesome

 

[Chris182]

Is it normal for cleaner shrimp to swim to the top of the tank and stay up by the heater for ages? Water temp is 24.6 generally

 

[Chris182]

Anyone know why they do this?

 

[Chris182]

Is this some kind of algae?

 

[iDream]

Looks like some sort of macroalgae, as long as it doesn't start to take over or anything I'd leave it for now

 

[Chris182]

There are a few spots of it around the tank but it's not particularly bad at the moment

 

[Chris182]

Some new pics. As you can see I have today purchased 2 clowns and a goby I have also purchased a mushroom coral and 2 more feather dusters. I do not plan to get any more fish, though I may decide in the future to get perhaps a blenny. More corals will be added over time too, though not sure what else i want just yet

This has settled it for me, I'm doing a nano reef lol. Thanks, and looks awesome!

 

[Chris182]

Is this my first death, or do they shed their skin?

Cheers dude

 

[Smitty]

Crabs and shrimp do shed the skin. Typically something else will come along and eat it as well.

 

[iDream]

This is true, but I worry since it was still in the shell. I think it's dead

 

[Chris182]

That shell belongs to another hermit. That skin/body was separate but I couldn't find any empty shell other than the ones I already added to the tank

 

[Chris182]

Are gobies usually not very active? Mine appears to rest on rocks and sand more than anything else?

 

[iDream]

That goby in specific does do a lot of perching and watching

 

[Chris182]

Good, just wanted to make sure all is well what type of goby is it?
