Were did you see those?

They are definitely cool, I know one local wholesaler had some recently. The big trick is they need some specialized care, like cold water. Unfortunately they are generally kept at tropical tempatures along the way from collector to wholesaler to retailer and often the unknowing hobbyist as well

Farmingdale, right?
I saw them there too. I was so surprised when I saw them.

The ones you saw, yes. The one I saw was in Farmingdale at one of the wholesalers there

any time liana. just call to make sure i am home.

 

[DragonZim]

Was just there today. Unfortunately the Nautillus were sold already. They were busy so I didnt get to see what they went for. I just hope whoever bought them has the right setup for them.

I saw the ones in Farmingdale too First time ive ever seen one other than a public aquarium. Its unfortunate that they were in a tropical enviroment and not in a chilled tank.

 

[Reef Junkie]

Chris, you'll appreciate this.
My Banggai Cardinals have spawned. Poor male has the brood in his mouth and can't eat!

Wasn't it just over a month ago we got them?

 

[onegreenray]

bill do you have a long spine urchin? don't they spawn in those?

must be cool to see.

 

[cb747]

Bill very cool and it didnt take long! Now raise them up! I think it was 4 or at most 5 weeks ago! Guess there quite happy

 

[Reef Junkie]

I think the long spine urchins are for raising the young, but that would make it impossible for me to feed them. Their mobile home wouldn't know when to take them up top for fresh baby brine.

I'm not sure if I want to Chris, but I probably will...
I guess my tank has the right "mood"?

 

[eboonaman]

yeah ,Barry White on the stereo and a bottle of Merlot does wonders in creating that romantic ambience :lol:

 

[cb747]

Go 4 it Bill! You know you want too

 

[Reef Junkie]

Well, he spit them out.
Apparently Chuck's comment sent him over the edge.
heh

From what I understand, it is normal for the male to abort the first 2-3 attempts.

 

[cb747]

Maybe he just got really hungry and umm well you know.......

 

[Reef Junkie]

You could be right Chris. I mean I almost thought I saw him gulp them right as I began feeding.

 

[onegreenray]

Chris:

Here is the Caribbean tang I had got a few months back.

 

[cb747]

Bill anything is possible. Ive never raised em so i dunno! Kinda tempting if ones hungry though

Ray thats purty! Maybe ill make that number 11 being Larry wont sell me his powder blue!
