    Saga of the Raccoon Butterfly in a Reef Tank

    Sorry for the lag - yes - update: Mr Raccoon has shown that with his dietary needs met & the infrequent reminder to not eat the corals he can behave. We have not list any more since I started the regime & training. What is hilarious though is our Tang. The Tang has been almost 6 years in the...

    What a great thread to learn by! I really love the pocilloporas, and porite, - well done! We too are at the stage of wanting to successfully introduce some SPS corals. We have tried a wee bit however no luck really. Question: We have been working to bring our Nitrates down as they run around...

    Saga of the Raccoon Butterfly in a Reef Tank

    We really miss our Hammers. I am going to sneak one in and then be ready to watch Mr. Raccoon like a hawk to nip any nibbling in the bud. He's still dong really well - we haven't lost any more corals and he's not even gone for the Torch. If I am busy and not watching for an aftrernoon though he...

    Saga of the Raccoon Butterfly in a Reef Tank

    It is seeming to make a positive difference to give him those wee protein snacks at dawn & late moonlight. He has a high metabolism & settles right down afterwards. Still a work in progress as now & then he'll sneak a wee nip. Our Tang though will then get between him & his nip target &...

    Saga of the Raccoon Butterfly in a Reef Tank

    Hi there & glad you enjoyed our saga. We did try the Copper Band solution before the Raccoon. The rest of our tank not only took offense to his presence but he just wouldn't eat anything not even the Aipasia & died. True confessions, we tried twice & then didn't want to be the cause of any more...

    Saga of the Raccoon Butterfly in a Reef Tank

    It all started with our utter frustration after 4 + years of battling Aiptasia. Nasty Aiptasia, that seems to sneak in every time a new coral comes in. The RedSea chemical only set them back a few weeks & then voila - they were back. So, more research. Hmm, Raccoon Butterfly Fish actually eat...

    Clownfish

    When you return one of them, you can purchase a significantly smaller clown, who will then be the male to your female and the aggression will cease

    Adding clownfish

    Hi there. Your established and larger clown will be the female once a smaller clownfish is added. The new one, being smaller will become the male. Clownfish are born gender nuetral which is quite a bonus when you lose one. We lost one also and that is how we learned this. The larger one may...

    Clownfish keep dying???!

    Perhaps it is the stock? Not all sources of fish are equal & unfortunately some are really bad. If the fish hadn’t been properly handled or been damaged/ ill not even super water helps. If you have purchased only from 1 place I would suggest researching other suppliers and get a carefully...

    New member - introducing our 70 Gal, 6 yr old tank

    Hi everyone! Thrilled to have found you ! Here is a wee pic. Confess to being a bit tech deficit. Is there a way to share video with you? I have a nice one I just made. Also, max pic size for this post eliminated most other straight pics. Advice? Certainly an on-going evolution in which we...
