As many of you know I'm starting up a new 150. I've been cycling my tank and now that I'm at about 60 days in it was time to start adding the corals. First I did a little tester piece or two... some trumpet/candy corals and some cheap zoa's. Trumpets did fine, but the Zoa's closed up. I did a 25% water change (first one on this system) and tried again a week later... things seemed cool so I started slowely moving stuff in.
Yesterday I also added some Peppermint shrimp (2 for $12) to see how they did before I dropped more coin on some true skunk cleaners (20 each!!). After adding them, I walked away for a minute and came back... Huh... My Lyretail anthias were acting weird!!
At first I thought they were attacking the peppermints but that was NOT the case.
Hmmm... what are they doing back there?
Maybe they needed a bath bc they sure seem to want to be cleaned!!
I'm going to get a true cleaner today and see how they do with it. I had a small disease outbreak a few weeks back. Maybe these guys have some remnents of it and they want it cleaned off. The Peps didn't really know what to do in this situation so I don't think they really cleaned well.
