I squirt all my corals with coral frenzy like 2x a week, but i really dont think i need to, they should be fine under good lighting without food, and i bet your clowns will host it, just got to make sure they dont hurt it by pushing its soft parts against its hard skelleton ya know...

StevieT Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 IME, marine snow is mostly water. There are other foods out there if you feel your corals need to be fed. Mainly they need light and good water quality ie changes. Link to comment

Kurtis Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Man I cant believe I never thought to get corals off craigslist. Those look great. Tampa Reef Club is a good idea by the way, they have their own forum on reefcentral. Its definitely a good way to pick up some nice frags and see some really amazing tanks. As good as nanos can look theres just something about a mature 210g that is mesmerizing. Ive been meaning to join for a while but have just been a little intimidated about being like half the age of most of those guys. Link to comment

buccaneerreef Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I stopped by St. Pete Marine today while in the area. Saw a lot of dead fish! Met the owner, talked about the Tampa Bay Reef Club, I may join and try to make it to the conference at the Florida Aquarium. IMO the Coral Corral is much nicer and has a wider, more appealing selection of coral, by far the nicest I have seen in the area. Again, only my opinion. Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 love the shrimp. i would keep them but my fish would eat them up in no time. he loves shrimp. good call on setting up the 10 gallon while the rsm recovered, it looks great. good job. Link to comment

Again, only my opinion. yeah monday is when they get their new shipment in, usually the owners not there on a monday, but if u talked about the TBRC them it was def one of the owners, I just like them because they know our tank from day one ya know, but yea i def need to check that place out thanks! love the shrimp. i would keep them but my fish would eat them up in no time. he loves shrimp. good call on setting up the 10 gallon while the rsm recovered, it looks great. good job. Thanks yea i absolutely love love love the devils, they currently are munchin on a sandsifter =x and yea it was either i get it right or give up, but thanks! Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 if I used that logic I should have gave up awhile ago.... I've had a good bit of mishaps in this hobby. But I think I've worked out all the kinks now Link to comment

bbales Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 So yet again I utilized craigslist for some awesome buys. I purchased -a closed brain -a yellow watchman goby that has already invaded the pistol shrimps caves (he came as a LR hitchhiker) and the goby is thankfully a fish not intimidated by my devil spawn clownfish -2 sexy shrimp that are microscopic, calling the frogspawn home -a trumpet coral that has 2 heads that need some love and time to recover -a yuma -and some zoas BTW: THANKYOU ALL WHO VOTED FOR MY PICTURE AS PICTURE OF THE MONTH!!!! and in my 12g and in my turtle tank please comment away!

tinctorus Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I know this is a stupid question but what do you type in to search for corals on craigslist cause everytime I search i only find stores advertising in the for sale section and never people selling stuff they have Link to comment
