Tank is looking good. Do you go to BRK or Aquatic Obsessions?

mostly brk because there cool, but Aquatic Obsessions has waaaaaay better prices

 

edit: got the yumas from Aquatic Obsessions hence why i got them so cheap.

Welcome to the budget reefing club. Just a heads up it doesn't really get any better for about...well I'm 22 now so if you go to college...8 years from now give or take.

 

Still the tank looks good. It's great to be able to find frags for cheap.

Did you do any research before getting the mandarin? I seem to recall they have specific feeding needs.

I hope it does well,there very pretty fish.

If your ric Yumas are any thing like mine... each head can get up to 4 inches in diameter or more.. They look awesome when they get that big.

unfortunately ones not doing to good, i have no idea why. its all shriveled and the other is open. i dont think its gonna make it.. ):

That sucks... it doesn't look like it is melting away does it? If not, you still may have a chance with it.

Mine like a slightly shaded area on the sand bed as opposed to any where else in the tank.

That's a bit strange..

I would suggest putting it in an slightly shaded area of the tank, and if you have lugol's solution, dose a little bit of that as per the directions. It should help a bit.. It is when they look like they are melting or have holes through them that you have to worry.
