ha! I only enable flowers and you already have very pretty ones. You'll absolutely love them as they grow and change a little. The tentacles may have no barbs on them now ( like crosses) but many times after reaching like 2" they grow barbed.

:lol:

 

i can't wait. i've seen them curl up like

a balloon a few times, much to my sexies

consternation, and interestingly, every time

i turn off the pump so i can feed my shrimps!

the nems sure do have personality!

 

also, i saw my favia with its very short sweepers

(unless it wasn't fully extended--it was maybe 4mm

or so poking out) finally tonight, when we had left

for dinner and the house was dark. so cool!

hello reefers! i spent the weekend up

north in SF to see one of my favorite

authors: sarah waters. it was amazing.

 

anyway, while i was gone, my new gsp

frag fell, no injuries. but i changed the

position of some of the coral before i fed

the ric, favia, and flower nems today with

mysis shrimp. everyone ate well!

 

my super siayan zoas are browning. :(

i'm not sure why. one is also shriveling

a little, the bigger opens and looks healthy

other than its face slowly turning brown.

i've moved the plug into a shadier area as

googling suggested sometimes they need

to adjust to the light?

 

all others in tank thriving.

My wife loves her too. Got her new book for her last week. I knew that name sounded familiar and realized she just came out with The Paying Guests.

Some of these Zoas can be very finicky (usually the most expensive ones, it seems!). Generally speaking, Zoas like a lot of light while Palys seem to be content with a bit less. If the Zoa continues to brown and 'reaches' for the light when in the shadier area, then I'd move it to a higher light area.

your wife has good taste! yes, she's amazing. and

i babbled at her for two minutes straight like the fangirl that

i am. she was very gracious. and yes, i have The Paying Guest!

excited to read it!!

thanks, nano! yeah, these saiyans were def pricey. ha!

my only palys, the agave blues, are thriving. in fact, i think

it's grown another small polyp. if that's possible? the plug

came with one small third (i paid for and advertised 2 polyps)

and today, i saw there was a fourth polyp.

 

so hey!

you bought her the book? that is the most romangical

thing ever. ha!

 

i'm finally noticing a little bit of green

algae on the tank glass just over four weeks

in. time for a bit of scrubbing and water

change tomorrow.

Can u tell me where did u get the suoer saiyan zoa. Ive been looking everywhere

 

i bought them from legendarycorals.com!

 

alas, they are not faring well in my newbie 8g

so far. more googling indicates i might have

the wrong lighting? (not strong enough, perhaps?)

fungia in my tanka!

 

okay, totally hokey but whatever, it's my thread. ha!

 

the ultra fungia plate i saw online at a new LCS i've

never visited was too big for my tank. probably about

3.5 inches? so i looked at all the samller plates and

chose this one. nothing fancy, but she was only $35

versus $120.

 

for all the enablers, i done did it. :)

hope she likes it in my 8g.

next purchase will be fishies. i've heard

good things about the green clown goby.

Awesome color!

I approve.

 

THANK YOU!

 

i'm really happy with the pick.

it was my first time visiting that LCS too.

 

cleaned the tank today with a blade

(thanks for rec, 1stimereefer!) and did

a major water change. my one ric is doing

fabulous. he's eaten the mysis shrimp any

time i'd been feeding the nems.

 

neon mushroom in back not open as big as it

can be, but it seems to be usually happy.

i moved the favia to the middle of the tank as

i've seen its sweepers and they've been pretty

short, a few millileters. let's hope he's not got

me fooled.

You should totally get a clown goby..I had a YCG and he was my absolute favoriteeeeeee!!

 

i hope the LFS has one!

 

so. i'm almost exactly four weeks into this

tank (yes, i know, i jumped in early, eep!) and

i'm noticing that my live rocks are beginning to

take on a green tinge.

 

my phosphates are at .25 according to API,

not ideal. everything else i tested, nitrates, nitrites

and ammonia were good.

 

my old pico had hair and bubble algae issues.

 

should i be concerned?

 

i have no CUC other than stomatella snails.

should i get a few ceriths? i loved them, they just

knock everything over, which is annoying.

 

thanks for any insights or advice!
