Deckoz2302 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Gena - dunno they always are Ss- yea I'm excited! Kat just that area is deflated...not the whole thing...maybe the crab punctured the soft tissue?. How many days has it been like this, was it worse before? Has anything been nipping at it? Crawling on it? Aside from the crab that one time? Did a rock fall on it? Get stung by another coral? Did the crab walk from one coral to the next? Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 maybe the crab did it then. I don't know how long the skeleton has been showing, I was out of town for 4 days. I'll watch it and then do the bottle feeding thing you suggested if it does not improve. Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I did a good water change, the brain looks better, the crab is not on it anymore too. Haven't checked the params, will do if I can before my trip. Link to comment

FlCandy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Love the fire fish! You'll like the goby's chin more as he gets fatter for you. Mine had a weird chin for a while too..... Looks great though. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I popped the bubble algae...it felt like popping a teste ... Was it satisfying? Link to comment

streetsong Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Great tank, Brad. I can't believe that I haven't been on your thread before. Your aquascaping is really well done and the new firefish is awesome! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Good for the Mandy! I hope the Goby has 1000x the personality for you since he has to make up for issues with his weird chin! Bleh on the bubble algae. Link to comment

ScubaEthan Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I popped the bubble algae...it felt like popping a teste ... FINALLY! I've been waiting for these photos. I bet watching the mandarin hunt was fun. My clowns have been playing in the flow today too. I'm pretty sure one of them did a backflip. Hope the new fish settle in well Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 lol sorry for the wait lol - worked later then expected...and had brit temp acclimate floating the open bags in the sump cause thats all i could convince her to do...mind you the tiny helfrichs came in a 2 gallon bag....and the larger goby came in a 1 liter bag...sump almost overflowed...from the displacement o the bags...lol i was scared when i walked in hahah I hope they settle in also....I hope there are no battles haha....6 fish right now in a 25... >.< im so bad haha Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 also for the first time tonight ever...I watched the mandarin HUNT pods for 30 minutes. My RSM and pico are pod city at the moment, there is not a single surface that is not "infested" with the darn things. In my BC the only thing that comes out of the fuge are amphipods the size of those aliens in the alien movie. I take great pleasure in catching them with tweezers and feeding them to my black sun coral. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA bloody B#St#RD$ Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 lol My sump fuge is filled with those alien sized amphipods...they clean the detritus out of my cheato Link to comment

Deckoz2302 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Tail bite. I watched the tank for 4 hours and didn't see it happen, I don't know who did it or who to blame, I know the blame isn't on the mandarin or docile male clown....which leaves 3 suspects...I wouldn't think the new suntail cause its settling in, so that leaves the assessor or female clown. The assessor inspected her but went back to his business, and the female clown chased her breifly when she got near the left vortech(host). But she hung out with the assessor, and she hung out with the clowns. She was near the pistols burrow and he was blasting away too...I really don't know. She was still hanging out with the clowns this morning when I woke up an hour ago....I just hope no foul play goes on while I'm at work... Whoever it is needs the breedernet for a few days to let her settle in Link to comment
