Sunar357 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I believe that is the elusive Juanfish native to Mexico! I so need torches! Quote Link to comment
Gramophone Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 IEEE! That pic kinda freaked me out a little. haha. Nice job. Looks like you got it out in tact. For the most part, I hope It's very difficult to do considering I break birdsnest tips every time I put my hand in the tank Awesome pics! I have always a small school of cardinals, I am super jealous now. I need to get a flash so I can get some sweet pics like that. Totm material for sure!!! I really appreciate it, jgpico You should get some cardinals! They give smaller tanks so much movement. 1 Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Spent most of last night removing this You probably already got rid of it, but next time you pull some out, drip a little bit of peroxide on it and listen to it SIZZLE while laughing maniacally. It's very difficult to do considering I break birdsnest tips every time I put my hand in the tank At least they grow back! 2 Quote Link to comment

1.0reef Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Just took a couple minutes actually. They usually stay pretty still Thanks! I'm lovin' your username Alright alright. I'll stop taking pictures Thank you, gsechen. It sure does! It's a threadfin cardinal. They are mostly nocturnal, so I'm guessing their larger eyes help them see in the dark. They catch every little piece I give them when it's completely dark. I might be 100% incorrect about this assumption though You're right! Cardinalfish, soldierfish, and many more have unusually large eyes in proportion to their bodies to help them see, many are also red to blend in December FTS with cardinals. Keep the picture small because it isn't as clear as previous shots It's very difficult to get all 9 fish to stay still! Wow! Awesome! Your clowns look like Fancy White Ocellaris, pretty much a low grade WW occy. Quote Link to comment
Gramophone Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Awesome shots... love that wrasse. Thank you, Rehype Awesome! Your clowns look like Fancy White Ocellaris, pretty much a low grade WW occy. Thanks! Yeah, they were actually labeled as "Fancy White". They reminded me of DaVinci clowns from Sea&Reef, but cheaper What is a WW clown? 1 Quote Link to comment
evanski Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Can anyone identify this species clownfish for me? It likes to play the maracas at night. Oh and I moved my other torch Pretty sure that is a Mariachi Clown Quote Link to comment
1.0reef Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Fancy white are Davincis, WW's are Wyoming whites, which are the same thing but fully white. Quote Link to comment
Gramophone Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Pretty sure that is a Mariachi Clown Ha! I think you're correct on that ID Fancy white are Davincis, WW's are Wyoming whites, which are the same thing but fully white. Ahhh, right. Apparently I'm lacking some knowledge on my designer clowns 1 Quote Link to comment

BattleAthletics Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Spent most of last night removing this So did it work well with what I said? If you had popped any the suction of the tubing should of captured the spores. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 This actually works?! Does it disintegrate? Regardless, I'm totally trying this It doesn't disintegrate, but it kills it and makes it turn clear. I've had a few things that would eat it after that happened, besides the rabbitfish and one out of 15 emerald crabs lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gramophone Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Nice tank! I want to zoom into those FTSs but I don't know how =( Thanks! Clicking on the picture should take you to my flickr page. Then just click the expand arrows at the top right corner. Not sure how to zoom in further than that though. +100 I'll take a 1/4" frag! How about an inch frag! I've got about 8 So did it work well with what I said? If you had popped any the suction of the tubing should of captured the spores. For the most part, I hope. A lot of the algae was in a very hard to reach place. I had to leave some, but I'm not too worried about it 1 Quote Link to comment

Kauai Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 colors in your tank are killer ! Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 ooohhh trickyyy. it only appears when you hover your cursor over the image for a bit ah, if you click the "..." icon for more actions you can see it in the original resolution. Any idea what kind of gorgo that is on the right corner? PS i love those cardinalfish. it's a shame their blue/yellow streaks don't quite show up in pictures Quote Link to comment
evanski Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 How about an inch frag! I've got about 8 Dunno...might crowd my take. Wonder if you can just slip it into a ziplock bag and send it in a standard envelope. $0.45 shipping! 1 Quote Link to comment

Talk about a big picture haha I'm honestly not sure exactly what kind of gorgonian it is. Just your basic non-photosynthetic sea fan I think. The cardinalfish have to be at a certain angle for their streaks show up well. Their blue eyes are super bright! I believe they definitely look best in person. 1 Quote Link to comment

Gramophone Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 I must have really been on Santa's "Nice List" this year. Every time I place the needle down I feel as if I'm being transported back to the '30's and hosting a swell party. 11 Quote Link to comment
