The price for chromis and damsels here are probably just shy of $20, maybe as low as $15ish. So adding fish etc. isn't more economic than adding zoa frags

Wow that is expensive I get virtually all my livestock from J&L aquatics even with the cost of shipping its still cheaper than buying local maybe you should tr them?

or come to concept where we either match or beat j and l on livestock:P

if j and l doesnt have it then we match live aquaria

this obviously is not a guarantee as its region specific for fish but 9 out of ten times we can

Does anyone know about bristle worms? I found one on the same coral frag that had the aptasia yesterday. I've read they will only eat the dead zoas and crud that falls on the coral. Can someone confirm this? I may have to toss this frag if I continue to have problems.

Vast majority of bristle worms are harmless to the system and are effective CuC and generally nothing to worry about unless you inadvertently grab or brush one.

My tank is loaded with them I am not a fan of them just because I find them ugly repulsive creatures.

If they are greyish and flat looking or grey with a red tip they are harmless to your system

Missing a chromis this morning... He didn't come out for food and he wasn't around the normal hiding spots. I sure hope I don't have a predator in the tank.

Is it possible an emerald crab got him?
