teenyreef Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Wow, he's cute! I got some of the same goodies from KP last week including the "mystery" rics. Did you ever hear back from John at Reefcleaners? I had an order that was delayed due to a snow storm. He asked me to give them a few days, but when I followed up with him after that, he sent a whole new order at no charge, even thought it wasn't his fault there was a freak snowstorm in Florida.

HVani Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yeah I got a refund for the snails Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 A gumdrop coral cruncher! They are a type of scorpion fish. Coral croucher, not cruncher They're only a hazard to acropora if you have a breeding pair, they're kinda like clown gobies in that regard. Well, actually, they're also adorable like clown gobies Link to comment

Well, actually, they're also adorable like clown gobies This little guy is definitely on my short list of candidates for my new IM 10 Hmmm...when I researched clown gobies I read that they were acropora eaters, but I didn't come across anything that said it was only for breeding pairs. That's great to know because I'd love to get one but I'm not willing to give up having fuzzy sticks in my tank. Thanks! Yeah I got a refund for the snails That's great! Link to comment

That's great to know because I'd love to get one but I'm not willing to give up having fuzzy sticks in my tank. Thanks! They do seem to eat the polyps of acropora (and some species go for Pocilloporidae family though), but it's more nipping than anything, they only seem to go hog-wild when it's time to breed Link to comment
HVani Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 oops my bad lol I have had o luck with clown gobies. I can never get them to eat. Adorable little fish though. Anyway I found the coral croucher' hiding place. I'm gonna be feeding soon and see how he does. I haven't seen the jawfish since thursday But every morning I see where he has been working on his burrow so I know he's still alive. Link to comment

HVani Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Ok so new pictures! Sorry everything is cloudy, the jawfish has been digging all day. My jawfish ♥♥♥ Lastly here's someone I never see out! Turns out it's a girl! Link to comment
HVani Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Jawfish is making such a mess! Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I got a tang!! More pictures coming soon Great pics! Had to quote this one just so it will show up more Congrats on the Apex Jr. I have one too and it's amazing how much the "limited expansion" will take you. I'm running two tanks on it now Link to comment
HVani Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I know! She's so cute! For the Apex it will still be a couple weeks until I get it set up. Mainly I want to control my heater and my pumps so I can turn them off to feed. I'm thinking of getting the cable to connect the RW4 to the apex since the feed mode button doesn't even work. I also need to get the wireless adapter since my router is down stairs and the tank is upstairs. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ok story time. In my area there is a guy trying to breed pearly head jawfish. He's doing really well and is pretty serious with his set up. A guy in my club I have known a long time is working with him to help trying and raise fry. He's been culturing phyto to raise pods. A week or so ago he brought me a bottle to dose my tanks with. I'e finished up the bottle last week sometime. HOLY POD EXPLOSION!! The glass is literally crawling with pods. It's awesome In other news, it's water change day. I'm actually looking forward to it. That's a first Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Tank is looking great! I need to get me another pearly jawfish from kpa... Awesome that he's front and center. Link to comment
