im very aware of what they are. ive been going out of my way searching and collecting them so I can photograph them as well as experiment with them in my qt tank.
im still looking for a eunicid and a polyclad if anyone comes across either, or anything else cool and hated for that matter.......

did you by chance play with him in the water
??
i might be a little nuts.......but I could watch how that thing moved when you swirled the water for hours. not to mention how it moved in the tank. it moved like smoke.
kind of like how the creature moved in basic instinct.
no, im not talking about the creature in the scene with sharon stone......

I found an all black one similar looking. could that be why I had a bunch of empty turbo snail shells?

I bought another yellow coris yesterday, this one slightly bigger. it swam around for a little while then burried itself just like the first one. I hope he shows himself today or else I'm going with a sixline unless it will bother my mandarin dragonet. My pods have moved to another colony :mad2:

WEll, If your lucky and get your mandarin trained to eat prepared foods like cyclopeeze, vitamin enriched pellets, mysis... you should be good... Mine eats a lot of the pellets and doesn't eat off the rocks as much...
I had a 6line w/ the mandarin... for over 2 years... also is now with yellow coris, blue sided and leopard wrasses ( eats prepared foods ).. with NO prob with anyone out competing the other.

I have a 40 breeder and I've been trying everything to keep my zoos healthy, the tank has been up for 3yrs, about 3 months ago I purchased a tiny Spotted Mandarin (hes been very healthy since)
I see you say the Mandarin have smaller mouths, would I be able to keep him and a six line alive in my tank? I would hate for one of them to starve.
look at it this way.
the majority of madarins starve and die in captivity even in tanks much, much larger than yours.
throwing an agressive pod predator in with him in a tiny tank is a certain death sentence....UNLESS, you can get him to eat prepared foods willingly and very often, or commit to going to the effort of raising pods and adding them constantly, which in that tank you will need to do anyway to keep him healthy long term

If your lucky to get them to eat various prepared foods you should be good with keeping them healthy.. even do the MELEV Mandarin Diner technique. I just feed mine in the open as long as all the other fish are fed, they don't out compete them.. Some people are even experimenting with mandarins in a NANO...
