[serenity]

looks great, please be careful putting your hands in the tank, I have a PTT and he is a turkey at times

 

[murphreef]

how does ur PT trigger act in the tank is it aggressive should i worry about any of the smaller fish....

and what do u mean hes a turkey?? he likes to bite yah??

 

[Cubman777]

that clam is unreal!

 

[NuclearReefs]

looks great man.. Yeah,, a Pink tail will get hungry and bite yah once he gets used to you,,LOL

 

[murphreef]

cubman77.... thanks yeah its an awesome clam and a super fast grower!!! its colors are awesome in person!

nuclear reefs.... so i gotta keep an eye on him huh or else he might take a taste of my hand?!

that sounds like it would hurt considering he has some big chompers!!!

Justin youll need some tongs to feed that guy or just move stuff around the tank. They do indeed bite.

Gabriel has one and a crosshatch, hes constantly keeping an eye out for them while hes handling coral and such.

thanks sam for the 411.... ill becareful when putting my hands in the tank from now on... a bite from that guy would be painful im imagining....

hey sam hows ur tank doing...

 

[818]

Ehh u got burned by an 250w MH, Im sure the trigger bite shall be nothing:lol:

My tank is coming along. Ill be posting here more often now that I got my Ca and Alk levels balanced in the tank(still maturing).

Ill be adding SPS frags slowly this week.

So far I have both green and red caps doing awesome!

Im glad to see your SPS are doing well.

Very nice tank! Are you worried your trigger will take a likeing to your clams flesh. The clam looks great!

 

[murphreef]

yeah i know sam that MH burn was bad lol so im sure a trigger bite wont be worse lol

thanks kirklan.... yeah i hope he doesnt take a liking to that clam its a nice one! i have 2 croceas in my sump which are about 4-5" each becuz my blue hippo tang started eating at there mantles... he doesnt bother the squamosa though... id rather have my croceas in the tank than my blue hippo but they were easier to take out at the time so now they have been there for about 2-3 months lol and doing fine

 

[818]

Justing get a fish trap if you want that hippo out. How big is he?

He acts like a model citizen for sure. I had feed him and have since about day 6 or so I got him.

He will nip my finger from time to time, when I am going in just to move a coral that falls over, I think since I don’t have food he will nip at my finger. So far he only drew blood 1 time.

 

[NuclearReefs]

He's gonna continue that... you better watch him..LOL . He;s going to get you when you not looking and you gonna bang your lights,,,lol

 

[murphreef]
