staring at my new acros...I know pictures, pictures...but I just suck at taking them.....here is one that was taken tonight by my brother...it's a new acro about 3 inches high from Ocean Aquatics...and if you stare really really hard at the tiny white spot on the acro upper left side...it's a teensie tiny acro crab!!!! VERY tiny! (now you can really tell I was STARING at the acros!!!)

was at the Hidden Reef Midnight Madness Sale and came home with this beauty; Red Sea Sailfin as I have wanted for along time.....I didn't post pictures until today as I could not get it to eat anything except algae...most frustrating and it was losing weight, but my Naso, wrasse, Timmons Goby and Neon Goby are quite happy with my attempts. Now, as of yesterday it eats! YAY! I picked up a couple of other things too...but sadly lost the small PB Tang... that was the last tang (other than a black or Gem Tang) on my list of "would love to own; Tangs"

Just wondering where you get most of your zoos from as I really like them.

no problem! I hope you get some really nice ones! When I was first starting, I jumped on any zoo frag...in my mind they were "hard to get"....boy was I wrong! I have some lovely different shades of...BROWN, Brown mottled, light brown with peach.....ugh...was I wrong! There are some very very cool ones! You'll have to post pics when you get some!

UPDATE...well after quickly adding NUMEROUS acro's....I had red bugs. That totally sucked. Once I figured out that I had them....and read and read and read, then bugged a few people for their experiences I tried treating the display for them. I removed all the hermits that I could find and sorry to say the Peppermint shrimps were too hard to catch, and I have now treated the tank twice. Not a red bug to be seen.....really easy to do, and effective...and the hermits that were left behind...they perished along with the shrimps...but I don't have any red bugs anymore. So now my motto "Q tank for any Acro corals" of which I have set up in my garage right now with 250w halide, skimmer, etc etc. Why on earth I didn't do it before?! At least the treatment was easy and effective. The only bad thing that I experienced other than the hermit and shrimp deaths, which I knew would happen, is a lovely diatom algae bloom.....but that should go soon enough....and hey, if I had any bad hitchiker crabs in the tank..they're gone now!
