I think she intimidates the male! She is larger. She has a hiding place behind the gigantea anemone. Whenever she sees me, she's off like a shot . She looks nice and fat and healthy. She might be eating on the other side of the tank where I can't see her. There's no way to know for sure. Time will tell. I'll try and get a better pic of her.

Here they are. She doesn't look larger than the male in this pic. Pardon the salt on the acrylic surface. I had to sneak up on em.

They won't pic on corals I have had both male and female along with a pink tale and the ******.The ****** is a hit and miss.The blue throats are very shy.They won't bother other fish.I don't know once they get larger if they may eat hermits and snails.My ****** did eat one of my snails(I had only 4).The blue throats are very passive fish.

She ate this afternoon. She rushed out, snapped up some mysis, then swam back into the rockwork.

stunning. excellent tank, and the placement in such an open room with so much greenery really makes it.
right now i'm stuck putting a big tank in a small dining room.... but if I ever were to build my dream house.......................
btw, this deserves TOTM someday soon
never can rush it though since its only getting better with time.

I'm certainly not complaining about my current tank (love it) but we may possibly be building a dream house, and if so, I would really like to have a free standing tank . If it ends up happening, I hope you wouldn't mind some more questions regarding the logistics of setting up this type of system.

I wouldn't mind at all. That's why we're all here. To share our knowledge and experiences and to help each other out. Oh, and have a good time too.
reefkeeper2: since your "new" saltwater is constantly being made to replace losses, do you skim wet causing more waste export replaced with new saltwater?
in other words, by skimming wet would it not cause a higher volume of new replacement water and hence result is a lower nutrient system?
