I'm not sure but it was never as aggressive a feeder as the other.

ussual suspect xian. they some are so slow at eating that it can lead to malnutrition. not your fault but a common issue. ive seen other sea horses eat faster than one so as that one couldnt eat. sucks but a true delema. if you havent visited my thread ...i started a sea horse tank and its going well. got a male and a female that i hope will eventuallyn pair up. had to remove an emerald crab from the tank as stated by matt he would grab at thier tails and i couldnt have that...so off he went. he got a home in a friends tank.
got them at union . they got a few tuesday and they started eating 5 minutes after acclamating them! they are tank raised . it really shows as they ate live brine and frozen mysis shrimp! i posted pictures.

I found a great source of plants today on ebay to use in the seahorse tank. Gotta love the place some time.

I'm going to try some (true?)turtle grass, Codium taylori, and 2 types of mangroves (I had one in an old refugium and it grew quite well. will be plenty of room in new tank for it to grow). Glad I don't need to resort to Calerpa!
The do have a great plant selection- best I've come across, and prices are quite reasonable.

As an update- the pod population is taking hold. Caught a lot when I broke down the tub (and some very cool worms as well- one reminded me of the worms from Dune).

Dude What are you growing in there!?

What kind of lights for the mangrove?

I'm kicking myself for not picking one up at macna

Spice of course.... deep in the sand (if reference is to the worm I described).


Just trying to make a natural habitat in the tank.
I have a 150W halide over the tank. It was my old anenome tank.
