40g Long Naturally sun-lit tank

Nice pics. Kinda huge-they barely fit on my 27" screen! I love your incubator concept! Sorry for your loss. Some fish are more vulnerable to anemones than others. Also, for reasons I'm not sure of, fish seem to be able to avoid them better when the anemone is in the tank first.

No FTS? Your tank is so cool. I need a full view!
 
Ok sure i'll get some photos of the FTS up next week. Need to give the glass a good cleaning. And the photos will be resized for RC ;)

Having the anemone is in the tank first is a great idea!

I also found out that Bobbit worm feeds on caulerpa too. I lost some of the fern caulerpa to them :( Saw them chewing on it!
 
cksss, what do you do to keep the macro algae from growing into and on each other? i got my hypnena to grow but now some chaeto strands got in it and is starting to grow within it. not a huge issue but looks messy.

think i may also have a small bobbit worm too but its eating the chaeto.
 
I think what applies in freshwater planted tank applies for us too.
I constantly trim the dominating macros to prevent them from growing over the less dominance one.

Quoting from https://arcreef.com/bristle-worms/bobbit-worm-eunice-aphroditois/
"Diet: The Bobbit Worm is a an omnivore, feeding on small fish and other worms, as well as detritus, seaweed, and other macro algae."

Seriously, that worm has such refined taste. It picked the one which is rarest in my tank :( :(

Sorry to hear about your blenny.

Hmmm. Maybe the bobbit worm tried to eat the blenny and failed? How big is the worm now? Is the mouth big enough to eat a fish that size yet?

Looking forward to the FTS.
 
The bobbit i saw was way smaller than the blenny, but there could be a much bigger one.

Finally found this beautiful red macro (Halymenia .sp). Maybe Red Ulva, maybe dragon's breath. Gotten a big bunch to be sure I don't lose them again.

I also have never seen the red on the top left. Where did you get it? The vibrant reds with the green and purple is just beautiful. What is the purple? I would love to have some of that in my seahorse tank.
