yoshii Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Time to banish him... I took him out as soon as I was sure he was eating the gorg Well that's a first. Never heard of a scarlet going rogue Moving the pics to the new page Picture time! I ended up taking another nap, but I'll continue to post more pics later Red Feather Algae The top part of this purple gorg gets a lot of flow from the powerhead, and the polyps get long and "stringy" Kinda like sleeper tentacles on a euphyllia 5 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yikes! Didn't know scarlet hermits would eat gorgs. I've got one that's been climbing on my gorgs. I assumed it was harmless, but now I'll have to watch it and make sure its not eating the gorg! Beautiful new photos! Quote Link to comment

I assumed it was harmless, but now I'll have to watch it and make sure its not eating the gorg! Beautiful new photos! I didn't think so either! At least this was the only gorg it was eating (i hope!) It climbed on the corky finger, but I didn't see it eating that one Yeah I'm going to watch the rest of my hermits like a hawk now Thanks! Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Sorry to hear about your hermit! I had a scarlet one that caused problems, too. My little blue legged ones have been model citizens, though. Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Mine kept digging into the acans' throats and ripping the food right out of them I've heard the same thing about the blue legs. Maybe I've just been lucky because they're small. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe I've just been lucky because they're small. My blue legs take food from my acans. I'm down to only three hermits between my two up and running tanks. They will not be replaced once they kick the bucket... Quote Link to comment

I've heard of hermits stealing food from corals, but not actually eating the corals themselves My hermits actually don't really steal from my coral, that's the cleaner shrimp's job Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I just fragged the blue sponge last night, so I have a piece for you I'll drop it at Baja for you the next time I'm down that way. Quote Link to comment

Arce Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 +1 on that TOTM. You've inspired me for my plans on my rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 +1 on that TOTM. You've inspired me for my plans on my rebuild. Thank you! I'm glad I could inspire people to create more macro tanks! Plans for today after work: -Clean the glass -Probably prune some macros -Maybe get a new FTS if everything settles in time Next month before this tank comes down I'm heading down to SoCal and I'll be trading Squared for some Blue Scroll and Dragon's Breath On that note, if anyone in the LA/Irvine/San Diego area (or places along the way) is interested in some macros, PM me!

Squared Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 It would be awesome if you won TOTM before tearing this tank down, so I'll go and add my support. Would you be willing to trade some gorgs? The trip would probably be to long for them, though. Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Would you ever ship? I haven't shipped macros before...although I did ship Ben a betta So yeah, probably It would be awesome if you won TOTM before tearing this tank down, so I'll go and add my support. Would you be willing to trade some gorgs? The trip would probably be to long for them, though. You guys make me feel so loved IF I can approval for my dorm tank, I'll only be keeping some of the gorgs, so yes. No they would be fine on the trip. It wouldn't even be overnight. Plus I'm surrounded by a ridiculous amount of packing supplies at my work What gorg(s) would you be interested in? You can PM me too 1 Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Not really familiar with gorgs, so I'm not sure. I'll pm you after I've done a bit of research. 1 Quote Link to comment
