A heads up

[clkwrk]

I know some of you visit the PHX area stores........

With that said I have seen the sea spiders @ Aquarium Arts.......Red Bugs @ Pets Inc ...........and monti eating nudis @ Ocean ART....


Also as if anyone didn't know but almost every store has the large brown/red Flatworms also.

Thanks for the heads up. I just had a bloom of flatworms might have picked them up from the LFS cause I never had a prob. with it before.

 

[clkwrk]

No prob and sorry to hear but its not their fault you didn't treat your incoming corals. I only posted to make others look closer and to remind people how important it is to inspect and dip all incoming corals no matter from which store anywhere. All stores are going to have pests from time to time.

I would really like to find a blue sea spider. They are cool looking but have only seen in books.

That does sound like a cool one to see.Must be one of the larger types.


The ones I am talking about above are very small almost impossible to see and have a taste for corals of all types.

here is a pic of the ones I am refering to .

and a size reference a normal 2 cup measuring cup

Hope this doesn't sound stupid- what do you dip them in? I just started stocking softies.

 

[clkwrk]

I dip in Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure for SPS and Lugols and FWe for softies

 

[lovelylinda]

I already have Lugols on hand but do you mix it in RO or salt?

 

[clkwrk]

salt
