not a bad idea... slice it up! :D

cool.. just wondering.. i know my alk is near the higher end of the acceptable range.. but balanced.

cool.. good luck.. i'm kinda new to xenia as well..

soo... 3 meq/L alkalinity to 400 ppm calcium? how low does your alk get when your xenia curl up? just curious.. just got some xenia myself

some of them are actually very pretty with lots of colors.. too bad those are the more dangersous one...s:rolleyes:

can't tell too well from the pic, but the palythoa one's are the toxic ones

maybe you can put some empty snail shells in there for the hermit to relocate to.. so that you could take it's existing shell and attach it permanently to live rock or something.. better chance to survive and grow.. but awesome deal!

drip method is probably easiest.. just set and forget it!

you're putting the scooter and mandarin in the 30 gallon? might not be enough pods for the both of em.. just my opinion..

Originally posted by Bang Guy IME they react to sudden changes in water parameters. 9 out of 10 times it's low ALK when my Xenia curl up. I've also seen them react to Ammonia (dead snail), Salinity (bulkhead leak), and PH (limewater OD). I can just glance at them and tell if something is...

where upstate you located? upstate upstate like rochester or upstated (according to NYC folks) westchester?... i live in westchester.. wanna trade frags of xenia? got mine posted at frags.org under the same user name..

got any fish in there? i'd still try the trap... if no fish in there.. try starving it out.. don't feed the tank for a few days, then one night place a piece of food in the open.. once it comes out to eat, nab it with a net.

i vote colt as well... think it's a lil easier than kenya

my baby blue hippo tang ate them all.. :)

i think it should be ok, my hermits do that same thing.. looks like a lawnmower went thru the patch of brown star polyps.. but they come out soon after..

yep

for saltwater fish? believe over 50ppm.. for reef tanks? keep it close to zero...

guess i'm one of the few lucky ones... :D ordered twice, no doa's... but the blind flame, that's harsh... flames can be hard to ship though.. shy fish to begin with.. i found neon gobies to be prone to ich and other diseases as well.. i've purchased a total of 10 of them from an lfs.. none have...

i usually still acclimate from qt to main tank.. no water can be exactly the same.. unless they're taken from the same source... just my opinion.. i found the firefish to be fragile as well.. i hear you gotta pay for shipping again so not sure if it's worth it.. best to call em and double...

nope.. don't take it out.. at minimum, the worm will create a new crown.. but don't be surprised if the worm moves out of it's tube and goes else where.. if so, it just means that something is def not right and it needed to move elsewhere. unfortunately, i don't know what else can be causing it...
