Snow_Phoenix Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Are you going to go collect local macro for yours? Yeppers. I'm just awaiting the next shipment of macros at my LFS, which might take a while since they import it from Singapore. Right now things in RL are very busy, so I have no time to head down to Desaru beach to do a bit of macro harvesting on my own. But when I do, I'll definitely collect some ulva, feather caulerpa, codium etc. So far my DT is packed with Chaeto and Grape Caulerpa - I have an insane amount of pods in there. My Mandy is also very fat and happy, he actually has a little belly now! Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Conch eating in stealth mode: Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Rainfords doesn't eat frozen, no surprise. He seems to love picking at the various macro's in the tank though. Risky fish due to its dietary needs but I want to see how these guys do long term in a macro tank. I have zero GHA so we'll see if the macro is able to support the zooplankton he needs. He also eats snail eggs. Link to comment
Lynaea Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Conch eating in stealth mode: I love that his eyestalks are out too and at one point he checks one out to see if its food. Haha Love your tank! Is that largish yellow guy at front a leather or mushroom or.....? Link to comment

Is that largish yellow guy at front a leather or mushroom or.....? Thank you! If you mean the yellow coral on the rights side of the tank by the bam bam zoas, it is a yellow fiji leather. Glows highlighter yellow under actinics. Link to comment

But the guy said it wasn't for sale. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Added some majano's... A small baby I got in a trade from hypostatic. This was a freebee from Got2Envy, originated from islandfotiki's pest tank. Link to comment
hypostatic Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Look at them bubble tips! It must be so happy in it's new home =] Link to comment
Lynaea Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Those majanos are very cute! Do these not take over? Do they stay fairly small? Link to comment

Do they stay fairly small? Majano's stay small. The purple and green one doesn't seem to take over. Hypostatic has had them awhile without problems. I am not sure about the green and pink. Tiki was saying that they don't multiply that fast like the brown ones. I have been feeding the green and pink ones for a few weeks now and no new babies. I had some brown ones and didn't feed them at all and they made like 10 new babies lol... I ended up tossing the brown ones since they seemed more trouble than worth. Link to comment
hypostatic Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Are you feeding the mini nems? I think the brown ones multiply so quickly because they are much more photosynthetic (the brown comes from the zooxanthellae), so they don't really need food and can get much more energy out of the light. PS the magicians melted Link to comment

hypostatic Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The sea. She is a cruel mistress. They never really opened up. They just slowly shrank away..... Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 They never really opened up. They just slowly shrank away..... Is it because of the temp? I once ordered zoas from out of state and it came in a bag of heated plastic. The water was boiling hot and the zoa polyps were still attached. However, they began shrinking and melting over the next few days. Sad. Link to comment

They just didn't want to open up and they shrunk out of existence Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Got 3 new flower nems for this tank from a group order. A sexy shrimp is already picking out his favorite. Not all of these shown in the pic are mine, a couple are for club members. Link to comment
