Here's a new video I shot yesterday. Have a look at the blue face. He's eating voraciously and feeling good. Do you think he will heal properly and lose all that "cauliflower" fungus on his own or does he need medication? Please note that weird depression in his dorsal fin near his head is...

Yikes, sounds like I've got a decision to make. Thanks for the input. btw, I'm uploading another shorter video and will post the link here. This one is clearer. The reason I'm posting it is at the 1:30 mark is up close video of my blue face. I overly sharpened a bit so you can see the detail. In...

It's in a community tank, as my LFS knew. They led me to this. Once again they're screwing with me. Here's the video. It's right in the middle of the tank. Should I remove it?

This one is already about 7" or so across. The closest mushrooms are about 6" away on both sides, higher up on my live rock. I should be good for at least a few months ya think?

Hey, just wondering, I got a green carpet anemone yesterday. He's still in the spot I put him. He's all opened up, nice color and all. I've never had one before and haven't really looked into this but his mouth is WIDE open. Is that normal, or is he really hungry and trying to suck some food in...

He's back to being a putz. In fact, out of nowhere, the entire tank is acting lethargic and didn't eat this morning, except for the blue jaw trigger, the only one that actually looked like he was on his last legs. Three days of aggravation for every one day of pleasure, this freakin' hobby.

Well, this Majestic is just weird. Right after my last post the white blotch disappeared and he started swimming around the tank normally. He ate, although not voraciously, but then again, I never see any fish eat voraciously like they did in the 70's, except for my Naso Tang, he's nuts...

Well, he popped up. Does he look healthy to you?

I'm really getting fed up with the quality of fish at my LFS. Just now I'm standing in front of my tank getting ready to feed. My Majestic Angel, which I bought 3 days ago, is swimming around, going to the corner where they all go when they expect food, and suddenly, right before my eyes, this...

If that's the case then this is yet another example of my LFS screwing with me. Thanks for the info.

Kind of makes it hard to feed doesn't it? So far I've only fed phytofeast to my mushrooms/anemone. I haven't fed him mysis other than what happens to float nearby. Oh, and last I checked he's no longer on that rock. No idea where he'll be tomorrow.

Thanks. Looking forward to getting some blue sponges as well.

7 clowns in that anemone? Nice! What color is that if I may ask. It looks like copper.

Wow, no cinder blocks in my tank. I do have some re-bar with barnacles on it ;-)

I'm really curious, then, how people who are heavy into spectacular reef aquariums get their anemones to stay put, assuming they don't re-position them every other day.

Yes it's eating and looking real happy. The tank has been through 3 aquascapings in the past week and a half, so that must have been a bit traumatic.

Oh, btw, I found the buried mushroom cluster! Unfortunately, as I feared, it's all the way at the bottom of the pile and moving it will cause my entire rockwork on the right side of the tank collapse. I see a couple of mushrooms peaking out, though. Maybe they'll make their way out and move...

You know, mine actually stopped after only a week or two. It was the sand sifting goby that kept kicking up the dust afterward. The strange thing, though, is that once the Queen starting viciously attacking him, he just stayed out and let the Queen chew him up rather than hide in one of the many...

Well, so far so good, so I don't know if I'll take a chance on introducing another one at this late date.

That makes sense regarding his original perch. He would slide to the top of a rock for light, then slide down the side of the rock and kind of tuck himself under when he didn't want light. But where he is now there is no way his foot can reach a crevice, and he has to travel at least 4" or so...
