LF Exotic looking Euphyllia Calgary

[asylumdown]

Hoping to trade for a reasonable sized frag of a more exotic looking Euphyllia, preferably a hammer style, or a frogspawn in a colour other than basic green (which I've already got).

Willing to trade just about anything out of here that I can frag:



It's mostly SPS, but I've got a ginormo green branching frogspawn that I need to frag. It's the one dead centre in the top pic. The more nuclear green frogspawn is a wall type and I unfortunately don't have the equipment to frag it.

Nice setup you got going there! Love the tank in wall look!!!

Too bad you're so far away or else I would be willing to trade my rare orange frogspawn.

Do you ever come to C-town? What are your thoughts on shipping?

Doesn't that longnose cow feast on your corals? Sorry for being off-topic

[asylumdown]

nope! He's an awesome fish. He did briefly take up the habit of chomping on the tips of one specific acro in the mornings, which did quite a bit of damage very quickly. Then I realized I wasn't feeding him enough. He gets a full clam on the half shell every morning now and he's stopped.

The key to good behaviour appears to be a full belly. He's an eating and pooping machine however. 21 fish in the tank, a few that are quite large, but 50% of the food is for him specifically.

ETA: I've never heard of them called long nose cowfish, I've always called him a long horn. Are they the same thing?

[chef]

Yea, meant long-horned. He looks nice and big. Might have to think about one of them.

I'm sure there's quite a bit of variability with these guys in terms of what they will and will not eat. He seems willing to taste everything, so there's probably individuals out there that could be a problem.

In the wild they blow jets of water on the substrate to uncover crustaceans and worms. He won't do it at all for like a month, then in a week he'll practically resurface my sand bed. When he's in one of his sand hunting moods, the water in the tank looks like I've just vacuumed the sand for days at a time. It's his only other annoying habit, but it can also be mitigated by just feeding him more.

They are never not hungry, and their poop can be as long as they are.

Also still in the market for a euphyllia lol.
