What's the swirly stuff fifth picture down (post 19 I think)??

Love seeing pics! That 'nem looks great.

*psstt... You didn't kill that spider did ya? I'm kinda hoping he wanders over to my back yard. Too cute!

 

[eugeneK]

Thanks!

The swirly stuff is some sort of macro algae that sprouted up on a single rock, started looking like a half seashell size of my pinky and now is about 2.5" accross. Too cool to rip out.


The spider was gone by the time i came back to trim that bonsai tree that i found it on. I couldn't bring myself to squish it, i am too much of a tree huger.

I didn't realize that clowns and dwarf lionfish could cohabitate. Wait a minute...Clowns? Lions? Where are the elephants and peanuts?

The lion fish is reef safe as long as its small or everything else in the tank is big It will eat anything that fits in its mouth and in my experience so far, it has been very mellow towards the clowns. They even steal his food.

The only problem is that there is no such thing as "dwarf black foot lion fish", and this little guy can grow up to 12" long. If he survives that long.

lionfish grow fast, might want to start planning to move it.

 

[eugeneK]

Nah, this is a blackfoot lion fish and their lifespan in a tank is between 2 weeks - 3 months. Some fish are better left in the sea. It was misinformed impulse purchase and a mistake on my part but i'll make it the best stay possible for this guy while he lasts.

Some updates are long overdue. Enjoy!
