teenyreef Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 How are the new fish stocking plans coming along, Ben? I was so sorry to hear about the fish but what a relief not to lose all the corals on top of it all. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I got a coral beauty a few weeks ago and a pair of lightning maroons last week (or the week before?). The clowns are cool, and they're both dickholes to each other even at this age lol. 3 Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Are you still using the SL1 to shoot ? If so what lens and settings are you using ? Ive had the camera for ages and still cannot get it right. Quote Link to comment

Ive had the camera for ages and still cannot get it right. I have a few lenses - 18-55mm f4.5-5.6 STM, 40mm f2.8 STM, 24mm f2.8 STM, and a Tamron 28-75mm f2.8. Settings depend on the amount of light and what I'm trying to shoot - moving stuff like fish needs a high shutter speed like 1/200, whereas for corals you can do 1/80-1/125 depending on how stable you can keep the camera.

I've never seen mine touch a coral polyp, but I have terrible PE in the tank he's in. Sometimes I wonder if he's terrorizing the corals but only when I'm not looking. 1 Quote Link to comment

They do fine in my tank since everything in it is extremely noxious But I know they will murder the crap out of stony corals if your tank isn't ginormous with plenty for it to go around. They are always on the move, hunting and pecking. 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The coral beauties have a rep of being more reef-safe than most angels. And I've never actually seen mine nip a coral. But I remain suspicious... Quote Link to comment

Mine was faking that he was scared of me and wouldn't eat pellets, but I looked behind the rocks and saw the little turd chowing down when he thought I wasn't looking. 2 Quote Link to comment
