Beautiful angle shot.

Beautiful specimen but a pia. It is constantly picking up, holding and moving loose rubble rock whether it contains a frag or not. Need to decide on locations for my frags and secure them.

Different perspective.

Thanks. Someday ill get a real camera.
Here is my copperband butterfly, currently in isolation for observation, quick removal for quarantine again if needed. He is eating frozen mysis, but seems to prefer fresh cherrystone clam, a saltwater species available at grocery store.

Talk about having eyes bigger than ur stomach. This war coral just happened to catch the krill and wont let go.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

That is crazy. If he should finish that I dont think he will be hungry for a long long time.

Another split makes 4 rainbow BTA's, not bad considering the first was an unknown hitchicker on a piece of free live rock.

Nice capture of the RBTA splitting. As for your CBB, I cant tell from the pic but from your description, if it is black ich, its actually a worm so after copper you might wanna try Prazi Pro to aid in curing.

Thanks for the info. If it is black ich, would the coppersafe not kill it? The cbb will be in treatment for 30 days (at minimum).

Once it's inside the skin no.

Update: Good and Bad news.

Good:my 3 acans recently came back from near death. For many months (6+)? All that was left was some florescence. No flesh. Just recently 2 of the 3 acans (both aussie lords) now have flesh with tents and respond to feeding. The other acan (hillea) has one head with flesh. Over the past months i just left them alone in lower light, the only other difference is now i am target feeding the gorgorian. I do not attribute the revitalization due to the new food however as they were unable to feed.

Bad news: 3 fish (2 bartletts anthias and a filefish) have recently disappeared. One suspect is the carpet but i do not believe so. The other more likely suspect is the large green brittle star. He used to come out for food when i fed the tank but he has not been. Why? Most likely cause hes not hungry. I will need to catch him and put him in my exile tank with the crown conch (which attacked my deresa) and numerous snails.
