how did u harvest so much aptasia? and also how do you keep it from spreading?

I bought LR from fellow reefers, most it already had them growing on it. I don't stop it spreading in any way, copperband eats any aptasia seen in the display tank.

Hi, the DSB is a week old...will take 3 months at least, to show its effect.

Added a pair of blue dot sleeper gobies, hopefully they can clean my sand looking nice and clean,

Ron Shimek, ronshimek.com says they will decimate any life in the sandbed in a short time. but the sand does stay clean looking.

True, but for me a shallow substrate is more for asthetics. My only hope though is that this pair does'nt go round spewing sand all over my acro's. Time will tell.

So I did some shopping...

So I did some shopping...

Collected my Regal Angel...got him sitting in a temp holding area in the nursery tank. On the other side of the 'fence' is the Majestic...they need to get know each other before moving them both to the main DT.

Then got a x15 of these, Red-Cheeked Anthias and the correct latin name is Pseudanthias huchtii.

then got this SPS, still need to ID it.

Acropora sarmentosa.
They never keep that color in captivity however under natural sunlight it just might. Keep us updated on it. :fun4:

 

[Wyze]

You have one of the best tanks I've seen on RC!!!!
Nothing looks better than sunlight!!!!

Thanks mate for the ID. It's a wild collected coral. So hope it does hold, so far so good.

Acropora sarmentosa

Without studying the skeleton the best that can be said is that it is an Acropora. There are over 350 types of Acropora recognized by science by shape alone, though only about 170 by DNA.
