Jawsee thanks for the answers on your dipping corals how long do you usually dip them for?
Do you have any wrasse in the collection tank to eat nudibranches or other pests?
Just Great....amazing skills with the tank, husbandry and also photography...
I am sure your fishes and corals must be as happy as they are in the wide open ocean bro...
Your skills inspires me and hoping i can keep my livestock in my new tank as happy as they are in your tank...
Keep up the great job...
Very, very nice new photo's. Every coral is very colourful.
Keep sharing the photo's, I could look at your tank all day :thumbsup:
Dipping depents on the type off coral,echinata some 5 minutes,humulis up to 15 minutes for example.
In the collection tank there are some wrasses like Pseudocheillinus hexataenia and halichoeres cosmetus.
Also in every tank in the cellar there are some Synchiropus picturatus,i believe in those small fishes becauce they are constant nipping around and i am sure they will eat also little nudibranches when they come around.
Furthermore in every tank there is a Tomentosus.
Luc, thanks for sharing your tips, very useful!
We too keep a Tomentosus; many are fearful of them in the reef, but I firmly believe that part of the problem in the captive environment is the lack of predators of these coral pests. Now I need to look into the dragonet...we do a lot of dipping to guard against the nudibranchs; but a natural predator would be important to have.
The closeup pictures of your corals are fantastic! We love the healthy look of them. This is one of our favorites - where did you find this?
