We bought ourselves a Chromis and some new coral this weekend!

Oh, that looks different to the mushrooms I've already got. I look forward to see it grow bigger. :)

The clownfish are in!

How is it hairy? :lol:

Collected

What about a goby? The only thing I'm worried about it that they're jumpers. Even with the lid down, there's a gap between the tank and back chambers. I don't particularly want to find a goby in the back chambers... Besides, the other half constantly opens the lid to check this that and the...

I was only planning on getting one chromis as I knew that unless you had a big tank to actually house a proper "school" they will just keep killing each until there's only one left. So I shouldn't just get the one? Shame, coz I really like the colour. :fish2:

Bribo12 is correct, the tiny coral has grown some more and turned out to be a mushroom (as if I haven't got enough of them :groan: Updated pic:

I have also found someone fragging Kenya tree and pulsing Xenia coral and giving frags away for free. Anything I need to know regarding care of these corals?

Right, so I have someone coming to collect the Clarkii today. Here's my preliminary stock list: Royal gramma Purple dottyback Banggai cardinal or long spine cardinal Blue/green reef chromic Fire fish Scooter blenny 2 x ocellaris Is that too many? Apart from the clowns which are a must have...

Gone - pending collection

What do they actually do when they're burrowing? I have three of these and barely ever see them...

I'm a newbie too. Good to know I shouldn't need to clean the sand. Might persuade the other half to pick up some cerith snails, I hear they clean the sand.

Hi All, I adopted this Clarkii when I bought my tank on the the 22nd September, but now I want to start my own stock list and this rather large clownfish does not fit with the fish I want.

Sounds like I need to visit the fishmongers then! All I got at the moment are some frozen brine shrimp...

The tuxedo urchin has done grand job getting rid of the algae on the backboard. Water change day today, but no new livestock yet. Gonna take it nice and slow, with Christmas coming up, I'm curbing his spending on the tank! :lol:

I'm getting some copepods tomorrow, will the starfish eat them?

You can buy a substrate cleaner. It just looks like a clear tube with erm...clear tubing basically... You use like a Hoover (vacuum cleaner for the non-Brits) it sucks up the algae and dumps your sand back down. Here's a link: Easy Clean Gravel Cleaner It's not a magic wand, but I think it...

So with an absence of asterina stars, what would you recommend I feed the Linckia?

I think mr X is probably one of the most knowledgable on here. :) I read that asterina stars breed like crazy, so I would keep an eye on them. I wish I had some though, I bought a Linckia star and it appears they like to eat asterinas!

I "Hoover" my sand with every water change.

Probably is, but they rarely grow to full maturity. Sometimes I see a whole load, week later they're all gone...

He's well camouflaged on that rock! Can't really see whether he's got markings though. Is it holding an anemone in both it's claws?

So freshwater or carbonated water wouldn't kill the bacteria in the rock? That's good to know!
