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

[Skimmer Juice]

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

[aquariumgirl]

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

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

Here is an updated picture with the additional live rock. Looks much fuller now!!



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.
