Nice!!
6 line terrors
Mine hated new arrivals as well. Too bad he decided to carpet surf. Try catching him with a small hook. They are gluttons and easy to catch. If you could put him in QT for a week, it would help all around.

Pretty cool, I was admiring those guys a couple days ago. (Or some very similar anyhow..) What species are they? They're wicked purdy at any rate.

What colour carpet you got Denny?

its a dragonface pipefish and another pod eaters for my tank as im getting rid of my sixline , these guys are pretty cool and so far they are displaying all the behavior that i read on them.

the carpet is a green carpet its been a model citizen but ive had a few over the years and its only a matter of time, hes very responsive for a carpet already got my around my wrist once.i feed him mysis as a supplement the rest he gets from my feeding the tank.i got him at big als i believe he was only 40 he was around 6-10" and is now doubled in size after 3 mths.theres a whole section in my tank i have put aside im thinking about moving him there soon i just hate to root him up i think when he shrinks down again i may scoop him from the sand.


i was given a 75g cube the other day it can be drilled so im thinking i may go species tank im still thinking about it hahaha i got a long list of to do's lol

Are they going into a large or small tank. I was looking at a pair today but heard they were not reef safe? Updates on their status would be appreciated.

its a 90g reef ive only gotten them today but so far so good they didnt take long to explore the tank and there is an abundance of pods so we will see how their first week goes, they def arent shy or scare easily and they are not afraid of me so im just hoping it can get its diet from my tank while i find out if it will take anything else for food ill just go through the trial and error phase time will tell
