colinadam Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Love the goby. I had a yellow watchman back in the day that was cool. Once they get settled their personalities come out. Thinking of pairing it with a pistol shrimp? Quote Link to comment

Maybe I'm paranoid but any filter-feeder which looks similar to aptasia or majano gets boiling water and vinegar applied and pulled. Doesn't look like a new acan head to me, someone else can weigh in before you really need to feel like you should do anything though. Quote Link to comment

It doesn’t look like aptasia but I could be wrong. Really difficult to to get a good picture of it. Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Haven't got a clue lol, you could wait for it to grow out a bit and see, I just never take the risk myself. That's all I was saying. Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Weeping Willow glue failed to hold. Thankfully it did not land on any other coral. I’ve seen some videos with people using rubber bands to hold the coral down until it attaches itself, so I’ll give that a try. Any ideas on how long it would take to attach itself? 1 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Took another trip to the LFS. Picked up this ... Red Banded Pistol Shrimp (randalli). Purple/Pink Blasto Duncan Blue/Green/Yellow Zoanthid 3 Quote Link to comment
colinadam Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Awesome! That Duncan is sweet! 1 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks, there were a few more at the store, was $30 for 3 heads. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looks like one of my LFS had a car drive through the store front. Thinking someone’s wife wasn’t happy with how much they spent there. 😜 4 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Things are looking up for my goby. As of today he has paired with the pistol shrimp, after only 3 days together! He is out much more. Even confident enough to scare off the clownfish. Also was able to confirm that both the goby and shrimp are eating. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 On Friday (6/21/2019) the scarlet hermit was defeated by one of the blue legged hermits who was after it’s shell. Weeping Willow coral rubber band was left on for about 4 days. After that it was removed in fear of splitting the coral. Instead I placed the coral inside half a cup next to some rock rubble. After a little over a week the coral had attached itself and begun to bend towards the light/away from the edge of the cup. 3 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 FTS 6/25/2019 Lavender Duncan head is very large now with long tentacles. There is also a small head starting to develop. Blasto has about three new heads starting. Acans are also developing some buds was able to see about 7 of them between my two frags. 3 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Moved the misbar clownfish out of QT Saturday (7/6/2019) night. The misbar seemed to submit immediately but the gladiator was mean. Today (after 2 days) they appear to be getting along now. The misbar took some damage to its dorsal fin and continues to sit in the corner but at least the gladiator stopped attacking. 3 Quote Link to comment

Gravity Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 Unfortunately I spoke too soon. The gladiator continued to attack today and the misbar had died before I got home from work. 3 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 One of my Duncans has been closed for 3 days now. Is it normal for it to stay closed as new heads form. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Looks like the duncan has opened up again. 3 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 FTS 9/5/2019 Not much has changed. Some of the corals have moved or fallen off the rock. The new blasto, acan and duncan mouths continue to grow larger. The weeping willow leather appears to be doing well. There are no additional growth seen on the zoanthids. 4 Quote Link to comment
colinadam Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Looking good, are you going to make it to any of the upcoming shows (aquashella or reef a palooza)? Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thinking Aquashell but still up in the air at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Came home from work to find an acan stinging the blasto. Damage looks minimal. Thinking the pistol shrimp moved some sand causing the frags to move. Will need to glue these frags down soon.😅 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Good catch, acans can eat entire corals pretty quickly once they get going. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Glued down most of my corals this weekend. Also added a small piece of rock. Blasto took no damage from acan encounter. FTS RHS 4 Quote Link to comment
