metrokat Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 HH? The Acanastrea Rotundoflora? Nope, I'm mistaken, I thought you had the HH that is in the center of the picture I posted, just went through your pictures. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Finnex HOB refugium arrived today. Can't beat that with a stick. Ordered it Sunday, got an email saying it shipped Monday night, tracking number showed no package in existence and it arrived today from Illinois. Time to give John a call for some Chaetomorpha and pods. Still have a little figuring out on the plumbing. Link to comment

chrssprngs Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 VERY nice Chris Thanks Albert. Now I need some Chaetomorpha for the refugium. The two closest LFSs to me were out. I think I will just place an order from John. On a side note, I bid on several Zoanthid/Palyazoa frags on Ebay last night. Shipping was kinda high but the frag prices were cheap. I ended up being high bidder on two of them so it made the shipping more reasonable. They will be here August 7. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...2#ht_806wt_1270 http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...5#ht_806wt_1270 Link to comment

They look super too ... hopefully though they will not be en route for more than a day as you say they will arrive on the 7th, so I guess shipping will be on the 6th, due to the week-end coming up. Great buy ! Link to comment

timothymarsh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 How is the finnex fuge treating you? I just ordered one and I'm pretty excited to get it on the tank. What is your general setup on it? Link to comment

chrssprngs Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 These guys are missing. I'm sure the pistol shrimp had something to do with it. Can't find them. Link to comment

Is whatever they were attached to still there Chris? I had something similar happen, lost a whole colony of them and thought they were gone until I took the back cover I have on the tank off, and lo and behold, there they were wedged on the sand against a piece of LR Link to comment
got2envy Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Ahhh! they were doing much better too I will see if Barrier Reef has any frags of those left for you. Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 They were just starting to shine. I knew they were special. Nope, rock and everything is missing. Thought I found them back in this cave behind the leather corals. Couldn't get my hand in there so I bent a piece of wire and fished it out only it wasn't them. Don't know what it is so I put it in the fuge. It would be really cool if they had some more. These looked nothing like they do/did at BR. I'm going to look more when the lights come on.

Even the rock is gone .. that is odd ... where would the piece have gone .. do you think a snail or hermit moved it out of the way somewhere? The ones I lost and then found were glued to LR but I guess not well enough so they floated away with the current and now they are behind the large piece of LR and I cannot get to them unless I take a bunch of rock out, which I may have to do. Well I hope you find yours .. they may be somewhere in the tank but you have not found them yet perhaps Link to comment
