pj86 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Lol, I wish. More like real life is starting to creep up on me, very little time for hobbies...lol. Link to comment
pj86 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Also, I have decided sexy shrimp is going to have to be moved from this tank. It has been eating quite a bit of my trumpet, constantly eats the blasto which regenerates quickly, and now has started picking at my sps. Maybe it is time to reunite momma with babies...lol Link to comment

pj86 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Lol, she was well behaved until she has gotten the size of about an inch. She is one BIG SEXY. Also, I don't want to sound sexist but when I had the male sexy, it was more calm and well behaved. I have really noticed that the female sexy begins to eat the corals a day or two when she is about to push some eggs. It probably drains a lot of energy out from the female sexy. Link to comment
andrewkw Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 sexy shrimp are relentless. They really need to be fed a lot or else corals will be eaten. Mine love montipora they would rather eat them then any food I offer them. Link to comment
pj86 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 By the way here is the list of what I have seen personally my sexy shrimp nibble at: Monti cap Sun coral Red blasto Seems to like only light brown colored zoa's My newly acquired purple stylo And his favorite kryptonite trumpet The only corals that are really pissed are the sun coral, trumpet, and the stylo. I feed my tank 10-12 times a day Min F and other micro food, mysis almost daily, every other day live BBS, 2 crushed hikari pellets every day, once in a while cyclo. What does she want?...lol Link to comment
jgpico Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I got tired of seeing all of my corals pi$$ed off because the sexy shrimp so i moved mine to my gf's tank that is pretty much all mushrooms. They did however eat a head or frogspawn in her tank. Mine were the same way, i fed them once a day and they still picked at everything. They are cool but im thinking that i will hold off on getting more sexies until i have a nice display fuge for them. Tank is looking freakin amazing as always btw. Link to comment
pj86 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks. So sexy has been moved to my 2nd picotope which contains only overgrown stuff from this tank. I will wait till the other sexies become large enough so I can reunite all of them in the vase, and make that a macro/easy corals vase. Link to comment

Did you find sexies locally in Houston or did you have to order? Link to comment
pj86 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Locally, I bought 3. The two males died. After spawning I now have 10 mature sexies. Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Which LFS did you find 'em at? Link to comment
pj86 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Fish Gallery. Are you looking for some? Link to comment
pj86 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 I can't believe it my DIY chilled auto-feeder works!!!! Will post thread tonight. Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Fish Gallery. Are you looking for some? Yeah...I'm only in Houston once a month or so though. I didn't even think Fish Gallery would still be open...they were on the verge of closing when I last visited. City Pets usually gets my business though. I can't believe it my DIY chilled auto-feeder works!!!! Will post thread tonight. CHILLED? I need to find a way to chill my pico! Link to comment
MEDGE Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 For some reason things love to nibble on that purple stylo. I find my emerald crab on mine quite oftin picking for polyps. Thus is the cirle of life I guess. Link to comment
