so, i picked up some new items today and there's a couple things.
The 4 items i got are as follows:
But first:
params are good.
water change done tue.
current stock:
yellow tang
2 clowns
misc. snails
cleaner shrimp
peppermint shrimp
2 feather dusters
Foxface: after acclimation and introduced into the tank he has been hiding behind the live rock. he has swam around very little and is mostly sitting in one spot, which is where the tang usually hangs out. the tang didnt really like it so they kept swimming around and the tang was backing up into the foxface i guess just letting him know "hey bud, this is my spot"
the fox face throws his spikes up and started to blacken in color. it goes away as he relaxes and comes back again, etc. The fox face has been sitting pretty much swimming in place but more resting near the sandbed. the tang has left him alone, however the ff is pretty much standstill spikes in the air. will he loosen up maybe its just the change in the environment? any help would be appreciated, i would hate to bring him back. I currently do not have a DT tank.
The 2nd item i bought was a clam (not sure of the exact type) pics to come off my phone. he's doing awesome. very cool additon.
The 3rd Item i bought was a torch. Awesome as well has almost fully extended and has been in the tank for about 4 hours. On the base of the torch looked like to be green hair algae so I removed it during acclimation. But there is possible bubble algae as well, not too sure but its hard, not something easy to remove as I have tried, but not with a lot of effort.
The 4th Item was a bubble coral. My clown will NOT leave it's side. Could it be hosting the bubble coral? It sticks his head inside but also seems to pick at it a smidge. I dont want the bubble to get damaged, as it is open as well, however not fully extended at this time like it was at the LFS.
Pics on next post. Thanks again.
