Blue Demp Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Are you thinking of a bicolor blenny? No... here is what i'm talking about. Quote Link to comment
Markushka Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 maybe its just a phase, fish change colours sometimes if they are stressed or adapting or something. I really like these blennies too. hmm I may have to hit up my lfs and get myself an early birthday present.. Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yeah, maybe it is a phase. I would recommend one, they are definitely a character. Quote Link to comment
DK_Reef Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 oh I see that is a nice fish. Yes probably what was said, stressed or so Quote Link to comment

Blue Demp Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I had to order it while my fiance is out of town. That way I can say they "appeared from the rocks" LOL What's coming: Flame Angelfish (small) - Hopefully this sucker doesn't pick on the corals or the clam. Orange Spotted Goby (Indonesia) Bumble Bee Shrimp Scrolling Montipora Coral Bali Flaming Grape and Radioactive Dragon Eye Zoanthus Magnificent Hard Tube Coco Worm You are rocking it with all of these purchases. I'm jealous! I got something for you. PM me your address. Quote Link to comment
DK_Reef Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Haha Nice Watch out for the Flame Angel and Bumble Bee Shrimp though Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 It is 12:12 AM and I'm still up because I saw a hairy slug crawling towards my coco worm. I don't know exactly the species, but it freaked me out, so I had to remove it. I noticed today my Duncan didn't open at all. I hope he's doing well. Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Some pics to share Flame Angel True Percula Pair Aleveopora, Zoa, and Flame Angel True Perculas and Midas Blenny Full Tank shots Purple Ora Hammer Pavona maldivensis Magnificent Coco Worm Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 The hitchhiker slug I was talking about. Quote Link to comment
squirrelieygrrrl Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 got your pm, how high is your ca? generally it wont harm anything, youll just have it precipitate on things that create heat, like your heater and pumps. coco worms are generally pretty easy to take care of, make sure your alk is spot on. they tend to be sensitive to swings in that dept. also weekly i blast the rocks a little to suspend detritus, the coco worm will definitely benefit from this. they love to eat crud! great new additions blue! everything is lookin good! resist the temptation to add more fish/inverts. let things stabilize a bit (ie: a few weeks to a month) before adding more. so you can assess your bio load and whether you can maintain it. looks to be a nudibranch of some sort, or possibly a type of sea hare. hard to say by those pics.

Blue Demp Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm not sure how high, guess it's high enough that it's not registering? What else do you feed your coco worm? my research says they eat phytoplankton. I do blast my rock every 3rd day, so I got that covered. The new additions are my last additions for another 3 months. Next purchases will be some rics and mushrooms to cover the bottom. I ended up flushing the slug down the toilet.. :-) Thanks for the input! Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 how big is your midas blenny? Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I would guess the midas blenny is 4". 2 more inches to go! Here's a video of my coco worm filter feeding. Edited March 21, 2011 by Blue Demp Quote Link to comment
CollegeNano Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Love the new angel. Is she being polite to your corals and inverts? Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Angel is great, however he does squabble with the Midas Blenny when he gets too close to the blenny's rock. My coco worm seems to be comfortable today and stays out during the day and at night. Edited March 22, 2011 by Blue Demp Quote Link to comment

neuwave Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Nice flame, just make sure to keep it well fed. That keeps any potential problems with coral nipping. Then you should be fine. Quote Link to comment
DK_Reef Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Very nice I really like your pics. I love true percs, I want to get a pair when I do my setup I am debating on Picassos or regular. Picasso are more expensive and harder to get here. Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Trust me, get a true... Quote Link to comment
DK_Reef Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Trust me, get a true... yes I know a True Perc but Picasso or plain? Quote Link to comment
Blue Demp Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 I personally prefer saving the money and just get a regular. They get dark enough to look close to a Picasso. Quote Link to comment
DK_Reef Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yes also it would be $60 shipping whereas a True perc I can get at LFS. Were yours tank raised? That is what I am aiming for. Quote Link to comment
