FTS and New SA Fancy Snow Clownfish Pics

[Eastamherstbias]

Since the mysterious M.I.A death of one of my Latz clown (I blame my ex-Damsel pair), I have made some changes, it was easy since I had to rip apart the entire tank to get the Damsels out. My wife was thrilled about rocks all over the kitchen table.

I returned Lg Damsels pair/ Cardinal Pair and remaining Latz and rebuilt the rock-work with some new branch rock/rods and a drill.

I picked up a pair of Sustainable Aquatics Fancy Snow Clownfish since I have noticed they have the deepest orange and a puzzle-esque look to them.

Pictures below of the whole system.

Thank you, you would think after 5 years and three progressively bigger tanks that at some point the tank would fill in.

Ah, see, there's your problem . . . you keep going bigger!

Seriously though, great setup! As always, I'm drooling over the nems!

Thank you, I keep hearing about people having issues with bleaching of their maxis. But I have been able to get them to stay colorful. I picked up a few that were bleached from Vietnam and they were able to return to normal color. I am just trying to make it to the frag swap in late October.

Looks good.

When you fragged those toadstools did you just cut the heads off of multiple colonies.
Or did you fragment a single head?
Ive got one thats in need of fragging now but I wasn't sure if I could just cut up the single head into multiple pieces.

Dude your tank is looking awesome! That new clownfish pair is sweet, also its too bad that sump area isnt more of a display, it would be perfect for some kind of scorpion fish.

Also fraging any hornets any time soon?

Looks good. Your clowns are really neat looking.

I was thinking about cutting them at some point but I was letting them grow out a little more.

I cut the massive head off the display toadstool. The stump grew a new head. May 28th

I then cut that head into a bunch of small pieces and put them in a basket for two weeks.

Pulled out of the basket June 11th and attached to plugs.

September 1st Have been repeating the process since then and I have at least 30 frags at this point and I am letting them grow in for the swap.

Since the removal of the damsels. The tank is super peaceful. The clowns wander all over the entire tank. The sunburst anthias that was stuck in a cave is now all over the place.
