Operation clown goby rescue!!

Absolutely stunning! what are the corals under the zoas?

Thanks . The pics under the zoas are ricordea mushrooms

 

[nanoreefz]

They look awesome! Not sure if you posted it back in the thread but how did you attach the ricordea to the rock. I was reading you have to tie them to a rock?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

I've never tied down, I've heard of people using rubber bands but haven't tried that either. I use glue and putty. Here's a good article on it.

Most softies come on a rock already, or attached to a small rock that's glued to a frag plug. The small rocks can usually be cut off the plug with a razor and then glued straight to the rock scape.

Pom poms starting to feel at home I think, was out and about with the lights on for the first time last night .

And a shot of the tubbs that I forgot to add to the last photo dump

Nice crab ! Those tubbs are a little different than mine, very nice

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

The ring around the mouth isn't that bright, tough to get an accurate pic of them with the par38. It's definitely lighter than the rest but not that drastic. That's why there's not many pics of them in here

 

[bribo12]

Haha yeah they're impossible to get a pic of under my kessil too. Very nice though, did the og Rastas pull through?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

They haven't opened yet but they've gotten darker purple on the outside over the last couple weeks so I'm not sure what to do honestly. They turned grayish on the outside after about a week

 

[NanoNewb]

Did you try moving the Rastas?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Yeah, kept them on the sand bed where I acclimated the rest for a week longer, then moved them to some shade.

Very cool zoas, and I like the ones directly above the tubbs as well. Do those have a name?

 

[NanoNewb]

I would try dropping them in a little more light. My eagle eyes for some reason hated the shade. I moved them up and they are loving it.

Yeah, they're scrambled eggs I believe.

Worth a shot, I'll move them up onto the rock with the rics and a couple other zs

 

[bribo12]

Hopefully they come back! I hate when zoas just melt away...

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Yeah me too, in sad news though just found the wrasse after it went carpet surfing some time today . Going to get some mesh and try again.

Man that sucks, sorry to hear that

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Thanks, kind of stumped too, he was eating and swimming around the tank following the goby.

 

[NanoNewb]

Ah sorry to hear about the wrasse!

 

[dingusplease]

Really too bad, sorry to hear that

 

[dingusplease]

Hope the Rastas come back!
