![]() As for pics... the two of them are acting very shy. They swim about a lot... but usually on the back side of the rock wall and therefore hard to get a good shot of.
Soon. Sorry people. I am trying.

![]() Based on some advice received through here... I have gone out to grab 2 pounds of live rubble and made a dedicated "pod pile" in the main display as well.
Not the most eye appealing... but this tank is about the Mandarins. I already have the refugium filled with sand and rubble so hopefully this will help. I also added "reef bugs" to the tank. Apparently its a good product so I figure I will give it a whirl. Anyone used reef bugs before? Still... bad pics. Be patient. Thanks.

![]() I have used "reef bugs" before... I didn't have mandarin's but I did you dry rock. I noticed some "small life" within about a week or so, as well as most of my fish ate some of the stuff.

![]() The male never made it.
The female however, fat. She hides when she sees me still but appears motivated to move about when I drop NLS pellet in. I believe she is eating this.

![]() If you deposit the food onto a small tray (like a plastic mayonnaise lid) everyday the Mandarins will get used to going there for food.

![]() Yay! Are they eating well these days?
I see you have red bubble algae...that stuff is worse than green bubble algae. Trust me, I've been through that one. The balls are filled with slime...they are gross. I would suggest you attack it aggressively. |

![]() I do not attack any algaes in the tank.
Great for pod habitatation. The male never made it a month unfortunately, but she is fat! I have not seen her take NLS yet, but I feed it three times a week and she Definately becomes aroused by it's presence. My HOB fuge is amazing. For a 20g... I think I succeeded in making a mandarin suitable tank. Needs more coral though. Kenya and gsp is all that's in there. More Softies wanted. As for bubbles again... Attacking would mean adding something? Emerald?

![]() I was able to remove my green bubble algae manually. Just don't pop the bubbles. It took months in my 10g and I didn't think I was ever going to win but eventually it went away.
