Maroon clowns at the jacks by me are 25$ a piece. 65$ is a bit on the high side...

Adding base rock is okay at anytime, die off from Live Rock causes mini-cycles.

I feed frozen, brine/mysis/cyclops on a daily basis (alternating) and toss in NLS pellets just for treats/if my clowns nip at my fingers.

I don't feed past what they pick up daily in the stream from feeding my fish.

+1 to bleaching or dyed.

+1 to Nyte and I used to feed my nem's directly till I caught my bubble tip move to were I poured in the food I feed the tank. Now I realize he's been surviving on left overs and light. The condy I have does the same thing. Piece of mysis or brine floats by its dinner! I no longer have to worry...

Yep, like I said before any online purchase is sink or swim due to a lot of reasons. Don't beat yourself up. You'll have 9 good stories for every one bad.

Petsolutions is amazing, and I've had full replacement's for things that I have lost with in days from them. Some of my own doing, some arrived dead (due to crappy heating pads), one thing I got warned with drip acclimation was bad if the water quality was low. I've never dripped acclimated any...

Ask if he ever used copper first, then QT it a bit.

I'd also get more live rock.

Gotta agree slow flow and more light did it for mine, but I think it was more the flow.

How much live rock as well?

The one I rescued/bought was 50$ and he's doing fantastic.

I think what you're missing is the fact that people ask for parameters to help understand your tanks condition sans "its perfect". Somethings not right whether it be an parasite or water quality. You may even find posting pictures of it will yield better results than just "its perfect".

Ive had no problems with either.

Reef cleaners explained to me that regardless they are hardy and to just toss them in. Interesting enough.

Yeah any shipment through the mail = toss in. The ammo in those bags are at deadly levels regardless.

Depending on how long they in the were the bag; the ammo build up could have killed them even with slow drip. I tossed mine in without any acclimation.

Good point on hyper or hypo-salinity.

Just their territory, sorry for the loss :-(.

Let it sit with the saltwater in it for 24 hours and try again. It needs to break in the needle. I thought I had jacked mine up doing the same thing, then remembered patience.

How long were the clowns in for? I added a damsel with mine and no problems from either.

I drop some algae wafers for mine. When I ordered mine from reefcleaners I was told about the three day wait. I had a hit the sand wait. The second they hit they went to work, moved etc. You can see if the algae wafers or seaweed planks work for sustaining. The key is what every said; try not to...

The infamous Mandarian.

There's a brand of dried sea weed some people use, lettuce, I also feed them a veggie blend that's a frozen prepared the my African's love it.
