Gee! Pest crab

Gee! Pest crab

while i was fightin to save my ritteri, a pest crab took the chance and ate almost a branch of my small stylo colony

:angryfire:

i took the colony out and dipped and it then dropped off

 

[Acronic]

whats wrong with the nem?

 

[M Woodhill]

whats wrong with the nem?

it's dyin

 

[Acronic]

why

 

[M Woodhill]

why

when they come to anemone, things go beyond control

bein the hardiest to keep, a ritteri dies in lots of ways

i'll be sendin it to the ottawa u and have examined after it dies

 

[Acronic]

Bummer, thats cool that your going to take it to Ottawa U to have it examined. Keep us posted on the findings.

 

[sandhog]

What is the name of the aquarium manufacturer? Sorry to hear about the nem,they are the most beautiful ones to. I always wanted one but I never heard anyone keep one alive to long.

cyf as written on the tank.

i guess my ritteri is splittin

some new pix

entire tank

tri color recovered well from red bug and nudi's infection. i just dipped once and seemingly so far it's fully recovered

tenuis

an acro whose name i don't know. but it's very cool table or bushy with pink color

a table whose name i don't know either. it's purple with white polyps

pink milli

green stylo that is recoverin from a pest crab's damage. i cut two branches off on which polyps were eaten up by the pest crab

green staghorn

grape milli growin very fast

a deepwater table whose name i don't know. it's almost white with tint of blue in particular on tips. the polyps are white too and kinda hard to catch in lens

to be continued

 

[M Woodhill]

my favorite acro and sorry again i don't know its name. it looks awesome in person. creamy coraline and purple tips and pale red polyps. awesome

blue staghorn

neon green birdnest that grows very fast. its body is pink

the bonsai-like acro seems a little bit weird. seemingly it just encrusts

a small blue tort or staghorn

my favorite fish long spine cardinalfish. some are matin and i'll be tryin to catch some pictures of that

 

[M Woodhill]

got some macro pix

and figured out there r few 2 or 3 red bugs on the bonsai-like one. dipped it in tropic marin pro cure

see the red bugs. i guess macro photos also help pest control

the deepwater table has some neon green tissue and now its small and white polyps can be seen

tricolor's infection of red bugs and nudi's are completely over. now it looks kinda awesome

little school of longspine cardinalfish. waitin for another little school of resplendent anthias

 

[ShaunMonahan]

Beautiful tank you have. Some spectacular deeper water acropora too. Very nice!

 

[sandhog]

Wow you are lucky to get the nem to split. Want to sell the other half. LOL.

 

[Acronic]

That's spectacular!! THe nem split instead of death. The tank looks great

 

[Jenzifer]

nice setup

 

[M Woodhill]

bad news

the nem isn't splittin. its still sick

im now fightin against some cynao

got a pair of yosha goby and randall shrimp. as usual, they got into the dt and became nowhere to find

 

[M Woodhill]

the ritteri became nowhere to find either! i reaquascaped the right bun only to find nothin under the rocks

the yosha and shrimp stayed outa sight

got some new nice pieces of sps's and a diamond goby to clean my sand

the tank looks like this now

the red stylo

the bonsai-like acro

the p-what birdnest

a bluestaghorn with greenish tips, very cool

the hardworkin goby

 

[Acronic]

Looks awesome bud. Its common along nice

 

[M Woodhill]

Looks awesome bud. Its common along nice

thanks acro

the tank is almost full, so my big investment is comin to the end. ahhh! finally.

yet ive very much been enjoyin the process of setup in ottawa, where shoppin means lots of chats and talks with the keepers, much more social than in NYC

but i guess i gotta know more guys like u in person. i'll necessarily connect those id's to their faces

 

[Hookup]

really really nice.. id like to see it in person...

 

[jbanks]

Hey, we're pretty social in NYC! LOL!... Looking good Woodhill!
