My Zoanthids culturing station

post-34-1129223295.jpg


From the initial 1 to the current 12 in 1 month or so.

The other 2 orange skirt are new.
 
If they arent opening check them very well for nudis and eggs. I would definately do a dip to be on the safe side. Those are very pretty though.

wow neo, your tank is awsome!!! i love your rockwork. how many gallons?

My calculation says 262litre or 69gallon only.

Thanks for the complement on the rockwork. It's done by a good friend of my during the major re-scaping in April'05.
 
Hang on refugium?

Hang on refugium?

I was looking at your tank pic and you had a little fish breeder floating on top. Is that an in-tank refugium? I have a similar set-up to breed some pods for my mandarin. I'm debating if I should take it out as my mandarin is already taking frozen foods. It becomes unanchored a lot.

Yes. The little fish breeder floating on top act as a pods infest stn and a culturing stn for my zoathids frags.

Yes, you could take out the fish breeder stn. But I don't feel a need to because I would still prefer my Starry Dragonet Synchiropus stellatus to feed occasionally on pods for extra nutrients. Also, I can leave for holidays in peace knowing that my LS have a constant supply of food. I feel only flakes food and cyclopeeze.
