It’s actually helping prevent a few coral wars at the moment. 😄 What most people don't realize is that sponges are what builds the majority of reefs. Corals are the framework, sponges fill it all in. 1 Quote Link to comment

I figured that thing would cover the entire reef before long. Quote Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Whatchoo laughing at seabass, I keep Emporers in reef tanks all the time with minimal nipping. I have a friend with a 700 gallon system that has an adult mated pair in his tank and all he keeps are SPS corals and they only nip a little at the shit brown Montipora he has. 🤷♀️ They absolutely demolish any sponges though. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tailspot Blenny....... no name as of yet....... and he is very cute and very small. The Pectinia has been super puffy since I moved it to this tank. Since @Cannedfish is never coming back, I think this guy should be Blenwood the second, in honor of blenwood. 1 Quote Link to comment

ECLS Reefer Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Speaking of your sponges. Did you grow them in as hitchhikers or did you get some and put them in there, and if you did, how difficult was that? My LFS has a bunch of 2-3in yellow sponges, and I've thought about getting one, but I've heard they're difficult to transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment

Once they grow a bit more I’ll cut you some if you want. The yellow, pink, white and light blue just showed up one day. 2 Quote Link to comment

Patience grasshoppa, patience. LOL. I haven't added anything in a week. Progress!!! Haven't even looked at coral sites. Now, I did look at ReefCleaners because there be nasty looking sand in both tanks, and I don't think I have enough sifters. Looking at multiple sites I don't think I ever put the CUC together correctly. But I haven't purchased a single thing. Be proud of me!! Someday maybe I'll be cool as y'all! 3 Quote Link to comment
