I am guessing humilis also for the left.

The other is too small to tell. I would separate them before one kills the other tho.

Hi,

thank you for your answer. Ok, hopefully I can separate them because this humilis is hard as a rock! awesome :crazy1:

I read that humilis is kinda hard to keep. Any tips for it?

Humilis needs more water flow than most acros. And full light with a full spectrum. If you look at where they are found it is usually on reef crest that are a few feet from the surface of the water and are getting pounded by waves and current.

Hey Frick

OK, cool.. I will place it new then. Strong light and strong waterflow. I have 2 AI SOL Blue and I will place is in the upper half then.

Hopefully its doing well then.

tips are to round for a humlis looks more like a samosis but real hard to tell
