The tank is a 90 gal JP. No, not aiptasia slademan, those are mojano. When you find a way to fully eradicate them, and keep them from coming back short of taking a torch to the rock or taking it all out and covering it, you let me know. They are practically impossible to get rid of, and...

How's it going everyone? It's a happy day here.

Awesome photo!!

Sure you can, just stay away from similar species. A yellow, purple, regal, kole, tomini are some to choose from. Stay away from Sohol{gets too big for your tank}, clown, powder brown, whitecheek, achilles. I also would not suggest a naso in a 125.

Check for copper.

Those we call black & white zebra turbos. They are from Belize. They get absolutely huge, and will cruise together if you have two.. but there is a danger with them. I had two giant ones as my only two snails in a semi aggressive tank. They were good, because no predator could knock them down...

The shrimp will most likely avoid it if they are full grown. We keep the tube anemones in the invert system at work and don't have a problem. Shrimp will often touch an anemone lightly, then back away. Now if the shrimp were to dive down into it, like when you first put it in..and they don't...

I would be most concerned about the mandarin. Are you asking about the coral banded? How deep is your sandbed? Tube anemones get quite large.

Scooters and LMB's do not eat the same food. Scooters are not a blenny at all, they are a dragonet like a mandarin. Unfortunately for them, it is a mislabelled fish in the hobby. The LMB and scooter should get along fine.

Drain tank to almost empty into buckets, remove fish, replace water. Done in 20 minutes. It's good to have someone there to help with the process. Also have a bit of new water made up like 5-10 gal for displacement and do a water change then. You may have to take down the top set of rocks...it's...

The 12 line should be lightly colored with a white stripe down it's snout.

Thanks again for all the kind words everyone. This hobby is the best!

Good luck with your clam!

The 1200 is perfect for the 24 gal.,{too hot for my 12} thanks for the kind words.

I looked some more today. Look at Scleronephthya spp~Flower Tree Coral - Red / Orange ..it looks much closer.

Yep, Tridacna Squamosa would be the exact name. Good luck finding one just like that..it's pretty special.

Well..I hope I am wrong, but it does look as though it's been dyed. I would take it back & complain if you can. It may be even the LFS is unaware of this practice. Unfortunately and on top of this being a difficult coral, it is almost always a death sentence for it. Your pics are great, love...

You will be much happier with it the right way..that way we don't have to say "told you so" later.. Hey..your last rock assembly looks alot like mine! Good luck & post back when you get it all together. Here's a pic from yesterday, it has changed slightly since we moved it:
