how hard is that suncoral to keep , i wanna pick on up for my fowlr tank as i hear you spot feed them rather then filter feed which would suit my tank better. do they like a lot of light , i had head they were more of a night time coral

how much did you pay for the coco worm?Sun corals are easy to take care of youjust got to spend a little extra time feeding them

digitalsteve: suncorals can be difficult in that you have to spot feed them at least two times a week (more the better). I haven't had a problem yet. Try to feed as many polyps as you can. The suncoral should be fine in a FOWLR, they don't have zooanththellae so you don't have to have them in full light just as long as it's in a spot where they can be easily spot fed. Oh, and as long as you don't have any coral nipping fish either.

Hey Adam, I don't have any macro shots of the spiders, I'm having difficulties getting my camara to not focus on my refection throught the critter keeper, grr. Also, as soon as I touch the cages they run back into their burrows. But, guess what, my little versicolor molted this morning and it's now over an inch long!! Such a beautiful spider, I can't wait until it gets older and starts showing it's adult colors. I'll keep trying on those macro shots :D

Reef tank is coming along nicely, just finish putting my live rock that I've been curing, into the tank yesterday. It's so full!! But I do have bad news, my pipefish beauty died today while I was at work. She got stuck in the seio, nose first. My BF had to put up with me for two hours of crying :( It was the sadest loss. I really liked her, the queen of the tank!

RIP my queen

And here is a few pictures of a mystery corals I found, it looks like an anemone or a Caribbean corallimorph. It only opens up at night, seems to like caves and cracks within live rocks and has a white strip patter at the center.

Sorry to hear about your pipefish - they are neat looking fish.
I just love your tank and the addition of more rock has just improved it.
