Great looking tank!!!

Thanks for the nice comments. The hammer was the first coral I bought very happy with how it is turning out.

Nice! I see them lots of coraline. Teach me how it spread like that quick

Crystal A · 07-19-2012, 08:02 AM

It kinda just happened to grow I didn't really do to much aside from put some seeded rocks in.

Does anyone target feed their gobys? I have been doing it since I got him cause he always seems skinny. The little bugger sits there with his mouth open waiting for me to squirt it right into his mouth. Find it quite funny.

That's funny! I have a golden head sleeper goby and he just sifts the excess fish food off the sand. He's pretty plump!

I wish mine would do that. I don't like introducing so much food into the tank but if I don't feed the goby I bet it would starve.

Well update. Still feeding the goby with the injector. He is still skinny but I do know that he is eating. The funny part is now everytime I put the injector in the tank it's like party time and all animals are invited!! Everyone eats from this thing now, including the emerald crab. He even try to take the thing away from me!! He is a strong little buggar...:p I'm gonna call him crafty crabbie from now on.

Updated pic of the tank. Coming along nicely.

Looks great!

Crystal A · 08-11-2012, 07:32 PM

Some new additions. A frogspawn and a cleaner shrimp.

Crystal A · 08-12-2012, 03:33 PM

Well the frogspawn is opened nicely, the cleaner shrimp is roaming about and the mushroom is multiplying rapidly. I was thinking the next and last fish I would like to get is a Pygmy angel. What do you guys think good or bad choice? Any experience with these guys would be greatly appreciated.

Qube · 08-13-2012, 02:00 AM

I have one and he's been great for me. He's a bit aggressive towards new additions, so being the last fish added, you should be fine. Also, I haven't had any problems at all with him nipping at corals, although I have heard of others who have not had similar experiences.

Crystal A · 08-13-2012, 06:04 AM

Oh that sounds promising. I was looking for something blue and the lady at the LFS suggested one of these guys. Now I just have to find one... Hmmm

Crystal A · 09-01-2012, 06:00 PM

Well update. I took some pulsing Xenia off the rock it came then removed the rock, it had aptasia on it, Xenia took hold were I placed it and has started to grow. Problem the emerald has gone rouge on me and is clipping bits off the Xenia. Little bugger. Gonna have to trap him somehow. Anyone have any idea?

Got a pic of the goby moving a hermit out of his cave quite funny to see. He is a determined little fish. Lol

Crystal A · 09-08-2012, 12:02 PM

I'm a little sad today, I've been looking at my hammer coral and I think one head is dying.

I thought it was splitting and has been shrunk for quite some time, but now I am seeing whitening in the skeleton and it's REALLY shrunk in. I wonder If the now gone rouge emerald crab might have had something to do with this? Anyone have any suggestions on how to catch the little buggar?
