Nebthet's 56g Reef

[Nebthet]

Well, there will be two unsexed ones in there..

So I went up to Jim's today (fortyfathoms) and got some stuff, I have even had a homicide in the tank already.. shown below. Here are the pics.

Bengaii Cardinal: This guy is smaller than Omen, at 1.5 inches



I bought two peppermint shrimp to help take care of my aiptasia issue. They quickly became an expensive snack for my cleaner shrimp.


Ultra Crocea Clam. Approx 3".



Elegance Coral: Several shots as it expanded.





Mandarin Goby. Looks like Red with green strips. He has already been going around the tank and pouncing on pods, so here is hoping he gets fat.





Mid-tank shot

Also got a rock with a couple Xenia frags and a small colony of Zoas on it. There is also something on it that is bright flourescent yellow. It looks like it could be sponge. Whatever it is, it isn't moving.



Then the Zoas from the left side of the rock.

My mistake.. You have 4 clowns? I lost track sorry I've never heard of cleaners killing peps before.. Interesting. I'm going to Jims Saturday do you want me to pick you up another one?

[Nebthet]

No thanks, but I appreciate the offer. Now that I know the peppermint is killing the peppermints, I am gonna have to get AiptasiaX to use.
The stupid shrimp actually killed both of the peppermints I got today.. I had never heard of cleaner shrimp killing peppermints either and they had both been doing fine in my system and had started picking at the aiptasia, but didn't make it 3 hours before the cleaner had them. Grr.

But at least I love the elegance and mardarin I got.. At least the like of those is overriding my distain for the cleaner shrimp right now.

Nice pickups! The clam looks great. I've been waiting on a Crocea shipment here, but I keep missing out on them

My peps have always been killed by my cleaners - I have one and I*think* it's still alive. Previous to that I've tried twice and the Cleaner was always really agressive towards it.

The yellow thingies look like sponges

Thanks.. if you can't get clams there, you should make the drive to gananoque.

Jim has different sizes in right now. The size mine is he is selling for $48, he has slightly smaller ones for $38, Large for $60 and Extra Large for $100. They are all really nice super blues and greens I was drooling.

The elegance corals he has up there too are really awsome in coloration.
He also had lots of picasso clownfish, some naked clowns, b&w clowns in too.
My mom was trying to convince me to buy a b&w clown and I had to keep telling her "No".

[rkelman]

I think you should buy a bunch of B&W Clowns

LOLZ.. If I can ever afford to upgrade to a much larger tank... say a 125g... then I will buy a pair of black clowns from you.. :P
