I feed live phytoplankton a cap ful every other day. I get it from a gal that gets it from a guy that makes it lol I need to read up and see if I can start making some myself! what kinda sponge was it? OMG I cant believe I completely missed the post about Gurgle and Nibbles. I am so sorry . Hopefully Gugle jr and Nibble jr will do you proud when you get them. I know yes gurgle jr. and nibbles jr. will be ok I will make sure I get them from my LFS that I trust. looks nice maria Thanks DRC!! and thanks for looking everyone! will take pix of the new stuff this week! I am running outta room quickly and the pods and snails are having way to much sechs in hurr. Maria Link to comment

got2envy Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 wow that sux I have a few bits of that sponge too, so purdy. also when you pick a sponge make sure that there are no white spots or that the sponge itself is not falling apart...i guess that is common sense tho...I have seen some sponges that are toh up at the LFS and they are still for sale.

opy01 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Thanks Maria! Can you tell what that fish is in the pic below the sponge pic? Link to comment
got2envy Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 I dunno but he looks mad maybe John from reefcleaners can tell how big was it? almost looks like a jawfish Link to comment
spanko Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Just a head shot would be impossible to tell, but agree with Maria here as it does look like a jawfish. From wetwebmedia "Opistognathids are all marine; western and central Atlantic, Indian and both coasts of the Pacific. There are three genera (Opistognathus, Lonchopishtus, Stalix) with about thirty nine described species and many others under study." Link to comment
yardboy Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Possibly a dusky jawfish As you said though, with only a head shot difficult to tell. He does look mean , as does a dusky! Link to comment
