New inhabitants on the way

Nice it looks similar to mine. And yeah no reef is complete without a Duncan

I am loving it. I also seen a purple one on youtube....gonna see if my LFS can get one for me. Also going to see what they can get as far as duncan's go to. Have a feeling she is going to make a killing on me

Yes they do, very happy with everything I got so far. The zoa's were finally starting to open up up also after moving them more to the front.

 

[deckaman225]

See this is mine in the morning when I turned my lights on!!

 

[deckaman225]

Yeah an zoas can be pretty finicky in IMO mine were open really good when I got them then a few colony's stopes opening for like a week but if they do that don't be discouraged they should open back up they are pretty cool coral!!

That looks so cool. Can't wait to see mine all the way open tomorrow when I get home. Curious on the color of them. My polyps have been doing the same thing lol.

Nice! What kind of acan is that deckaman?

 

[DaveMc]

Ok finally got some pics of the newbies lol. Could get one of the Porcelain crab or Yellow Goby, both of them hiding still

Blue Snowflake

Candy Cane, little closed due to eating

Zoa's

Hammer

Feather Duster

Also think I have a hitchhiker....can't tell if it is a bristle worm or a bristle star! It is hiding under one of my rocks and can't see the whole thing yet.

 

[DaveMc]

Think I may have lost my porcelain crab. Found its claw this morning but can't find him.

Don't get to worried there's a decent chance it's just a molt, keep your eyes open for the next few days as they hide until there new shell hardens.
Edit: it's is extremely common for them to molt after being added to a new system.

 

[DaveMc]

Oh I didn't know that. Ok, will keep my eyes open for him then. Got major worried when he was no longer on the rock and I seen that.

Thanks Red.

You were right Red , I just went back to check the tank before bed and when I turned on the light in the room there he was sitting on one of the ricks at the bottom with his little fans out. I think he has a burrow under the rock as well because he started to go back in when he saw me but stopped.

Dd you get a purple one?

No, they were out of stock on them , but this one is nice. Here's a link to the one I got...

Porcelain Crab

 

[bribo12]

I had a purple and he did nothing but hide. He was more cryptic than the Pom Pom crab I had lol. Good you didn't get a purple
