Haha yeah I think I hit a homerun with the coral guy I found that's about 10 mins away from me yayyy

I looked em' up. You're very lucky!

Yeah I just went out n bought some gel glue, see how that works I'm thinking of cutting the peg off my radioactive dragon eye disk so I can glue it somewhere better

Okay- stupid question- what do you cut the peg off with? I hate those pegs, but don't know what I can use to get close to the disk.

 

[Bearchumjs]

I'd say a stainless steel scalpel.

Even a chisel or large cutters like heavy wire cutters work. Just be wary of harming the frag. It's safer with an extra set of hands.

+1 wire cutters work great. Bigger the better

I was gonna cut the peg off but believe it or not it looks like its already spreading onto my rock so I might just leave it where it is

Under ideal conditions you'll start to see a few new heads every week so its not to bad of an idea to just save the plug and sell it to make your money back once you have 10+ heads on your rockwork.

Thats a good idea, never thought of doing that before.. how would you cut out the section with the plug tho?

Razor blade works good

It's likely just a diatom bloom that will pass after a few weeks. New tank, new rocks, new lights, mini cycle... = diatoms. It was bound to happen and isn't anything to worry about. You can still get a couple more cleaners anyway if you want them. It'll run it's course and end either way. I love watching all kinds of cleaners!

Come to think of it it prob is diatoms, some of my rocks are coated in it now too.. oh well lol

On a different note, I'm suspected 1 of the 2 occy clowns I got might be a black clown, the smaller of the 2 has a darker tint to him near the top of his body and I read that when they're younger that's what they'll look like

 

[DanS180]

On second thought, maybe not a black clown, mine has too much orange in him lol

 

[Beengirl]

Maybe a mocha clown?

 

[DanS180]

Maybe a mocha clown?

Don't think so, doesnt look like any of the pictures I just Googled lol
