I also have my sea monkey tank hatching BBS as well. 😂 3 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 I’m in a posty mood tonight. Check out this cowrie! Didn’t know they could cover their shells with spikes like this. Got a cool punk rock vibe going on here. 7 2 Quote Link to comment

I doubt you will have dinos having started off with this rock... from what I have seen it is much less common in tank started with real live rock 2 Quote Link to comment

Hair algae, cyano, even bryopsis (and more)! 😬 Still kinda pretty though. 😅 My rock looks the same at the moment, but my snail does a great job! 😊 1 Quote Link to comment

Or something else I don't know about? I'm sure I could figure it out with some googling but I certainly wouldn't want to disturb the extreme laziness that has befallen me over the past few weeks 😋 1 2 Quote Link to comment

But they also note that they might not be reef-safe (possibly will eat sponges and zoanthids). 1 Quote Link to comment
DISQUALIFIED-QQ Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Wow I've never seen a cowrie cover its entire shell like that. What a fascinating mantle. 1 Quote Link to comment

I read earlier today that the cowrie mantles that cover their shells coat them with enamel and keep the shells shiny. 2 Quote Link to comment
William Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 How high was your ammonia spike from your live rock, I tried to get KPA to ship mine in water (I told them I would pay more) but they said it’s not possible ... Quote Link to comment

I didn't test initially, but it must have been pretty significant just based on the smell and die off that I saw. Quote Link to comment

I'm a big fan of yours on IG! 🙂 Embarrassed to say, but I'm just using my iPhone 11 at the moment. Hoping to get a legit camera soon though. 🤞 Quote Link to comment
