Here are some pictures of the new stuff I recently got.

Another stab at the Yellow Watchman Goby, I also got a Green Clown Goby but he was in hiding.

Sun Coral that I'm working on bring back to life. I've had it for a few days and it looks great compared to when I got it. This piece might go into the display tank some day, but for now it will be in the sump for easy feeding. A few heads died off and some are dying right now, but a majority are doing well.

Hey Eric, the sun coral gonna recover nicely with frequent feeding. I got one w/ about 12 polyps and almost double that in 2 months. Good luck!

I see your coral banded shrimp looks happy too. I think they are all smiling! lol

What are you using to feed the suncoral? Ive been putting mine in a with some rotofest, phytofest and mysis...I try to make sure I feed it good atleast 4-5 times a week.

Thanks guys.

Bret, I am just feeding it mysis and sometimes brine and cyclopeez. What I did today and probably form now on is mix all three of them together then add it into a container that I use to put the sun coral in when feeding. Since its sitting on a tray (the one you see in the picture) I can remove it and put it back without any problems. Anyways while in the container I just dump the mix into it and stir it up. Sometimes I will take a syringe and suck up a few mysis to help feed them if it seems like they can't catch anything. Takes about 30 mins to feed and whatever is left I dump it into my display to feed them even more.

Your watchman looks a little torn up...hopefully that happened where you got him, rather than in your tank.

 

[ek9vboi]

Yeah it was when I got him, so far so good. Still alive, I'm sure it will recover but I am worried about it eating.

 

[ek9vboi]

Oh no... not again. Looks like the last firefish is gone... as well as the new Yellow watchman goby and the green clown goby! I'm not sure whats going on in my tank but I can not keep any small fish. I think it has something to do with my Hawkfish or Shrimp.

 

[CraigG]

Are hawkfish known to be that aggressive?

 

[bckane]

Ive read the "The longnose hawkfish" does eat smaller fish.

 

[Kewlworm]

I have also heard that coral band shrimp will prey smaller fish as well.

 

[ek9vboi]

The Coral Band Shrimp is in my refugium and the other fishes died before I got the 2 other gobies.

As for the longnose hawkfish, it chases the smaller fishes but leaves my clowns alone. odd but i think it contributed to the gobies and dartfishes deaths.

so far my falco is behaving and has been the only one that will allow cleaner goby to clean him. I added the falco last like it says to add them (says they get aggresive to relativly new tankmates and should be added last) In next couple days an order of fire and ice and Radio dragon eyes is to come ill have to let ya know how thats goes

 

[ek9vboi]

I still have your froggy and mushrooms are sitting in my refugium right now. In a few days I will head down to your place.
