I was looking in the tank this morning and found this.


You may remember when I was so happy to get one exactly like this one out of the tank a while back. I have no idea when they came in to my tank but this makes two that Ive seen. Hope I can get lucky enough to get this one out.

I should start renting out tank space. I am babysitting again. This time a couple of zoanthid colonies from RC. We got tired of everyone trying to talk us into selling them. I accidentally put one of the colonies to close to my rock work and they have already spread to my rock....sorry Kevin. One colony is the blue zoas I already have and the other is a cool gold centered pink rimmed one.



My new squamosa clams have crawled their way out to where I could get a couple decent shots.




I will be doing a battery of tests today so will post parameters later.

Looks like a emerald crab. or at least some sort of mytrax crab. BANISH him to the sump.

The tank is looking great!
If you need help with the crab, I can come over and lend a hand like last time....

Thanks bud. We got lucky enough to get a few blue squamosas in. From what I understand you dont see blue sqamies very often.

The picture shows up more green but the crab is very black. Does look like its from the mithrax famaliy for sure. This was just the "shed" from last nights molt. Ya great...its growing

Aw man...if you only knew. Almost once a day someone asks "how much for those zoas" and then its followed by a "aw cmon... everything is for sale right?" Once the big tank gets set up they will be back at the shop, hopefully spawning frags.


I started operation "hacro" The hacking off of the ugly PITA concrete bases that some of my acros are on. The bases have a nub of concrete on the bottom that makes them near impossible to just place on the rock. Some of the bases are almost 2" tall, and thats 2" less room that the acros will have to grow before I have to start pruning. Every little inch matters right? So the bases have to go. It is proving to be a little more difficult than I thought it would be. I expect that there will probably be frags.

Here are the parameters. Dkh is Elos, the rest are Salifert. nitrate 10, ph 8.0, mag 1290, ca 360, dkh 7 . Water change 1 week ago with kzrb salt, dosing nothing. Ca was 480 and mag was 1380 the day after the w/c. Suddenly (probably not so suddenly as I been lazy with the testing) my tank is using ca and mag...hmmm wonder why I am the type that is bad for remembering to do things like dose calcium every day, so I see a reactor and a dosing pump in my near future methinks... oh Santa.
