My new 600 gallon reef

[Goodwin9]

and do they only feed on aptasias or will they go after other things such as soft corals?

From what little I have read about them, I thought that they only ate aiptasia, but I had to run down to the tank and sure enough, they are heading to the roocks. I'll let you know if that leather is still there in the morning.....

Hey Chuck, what's the status on those Orange nudis? Are they leather / softy eaters?

They disappeared after a few days without touching either. I think that the green ones are the way to go.

Fricken A, was hoping and praying they would wolf those down so I could get a few.

Sorry, was pulling for ya.

Hey Chuck! That's about what I have read on them. They just don't seem to last very long. I suppose they could be in the rocks, but I wonder if they just get eaten by something?

 

[melev]

They may be better suited for colder waters.

A nice place to spend Christmas day...sure beats all of the snow at home...

Hey Chuck, what aquarium is that?

Take your time coming back to SD. I've shoveled the driveway 3 times in the last 3 days and we still can't get out. Snowplows haven't made it to our part of town yet.

Chuck, that is mandalay bay.....man you should have let me know, I think I can still get people behind the scenes....I opened that aquarium and worked there for a while.

Very nice.

At least I think it is Shark Reef.....right?

Have you tried Radial Leatherjacket filefish? We picked up one, and he tore up our aiptasia - also he eats pretty much anything else we feed so he's a keeper. Very interesting fish - mannerisms are much like a box or cow fish.

This was taken at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Very impressive display. We were able to get a very short private tour of the beind the scenes. Wished that I had planned ahead and taken a real camera. The phone photos didn't turn out very good.

No, I've not tried them before. I picked up a couple of more Copperbands to see if I can get some that will actually do some good. So far the new additions are holding their own, but don't seem to have done much against the aptasia.

Tank turned 3 years old this week, wish I had some good updates to post, but tank has been on cruise control for a while.........needs a good cleaning.

Weather today looks just about like it did the day it was delivered.

It's beautiful for those of us that don't live in it!

Congratulations on your three years with one awesome tank Chuck. Well, one not counting the several others you have. Anyway, I've really enjoyed watch you build a great collection of tangs and other fishes for sure!
