Unknown growth

Do you have a large refugium? If not, I wouldn't put any of the halichoeres wrasses with a pair of mandarins. These wrasses generally have good temperants, but huge appetites - might outcompete the mandarins.

I just bought a pair of mandarins. I will see how it goes for a month. I have a fuge but I would worry that a wrasse would eventually outcompete the mandarins as well.

Wish you luck.. Just keep a real close eyes on them. Have a lot of carbon ready just incase they die. With that many and if they die all the sudden, you will lose everything in the tank.

This is a follow up. I added a mandarin and with in a month most of the flatworms were gone. A year later, if you look for them, you can see them and the mandarin is fat and happy.

My question is this. I would like to frag stuff for a neighbor. How should I treat the frags to not spread this to his tank?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure I still have them even though I very rarely see them. Occasionally one will be visible on the glass, so I siphon it out. When I trade frags I always treat the frag with flatworm exit, and I strongly recommend that anyone I sell frags to uses a QT tank. If they're not using QT they will eventually get them anyways, its just a matter of time.
