Thanks! Shes the only fish in there. Shes very nice to me, i put my hand in the water and she doesn't bite me or anything. But i asked if i can put another small little fish in there with her and they said that she will kill any other fish i put in with her.

Lol thats kind of mean. But if I add a maroon clown and a Bangaii Cardinal at the same time, she might not be so mean to it. Territory wouldnt be established yet.

Thanks!! Yeah. There is still hair algae and some kinds of feather algae. But the hair and the feather algae is growing SUPER SLOW.

"Learn you must" its not gone, i learned that lesson w/ cyano, kill it, then mutilate it, then curse it, and dance on its grave for good measure.

Your tank is looking really good!!!

When the holidays are over I'm going to turn my Nano tank, that I used as a QT, into a mini-reef for my office. I think I'm going to add two black and white clowns. Your Maroon clown is beautiful, funny that she hosts the Xenia.

 

[coral keeper]

Yikes! Not really my thing. Although I have seen some video of them, they are fun to watch. Besides my Nano Tank is glass and I've been told the two don't mix.

Im not sure.

Glass tanks and mantids mix azfish unless you can somehow squeeze a 7 or 8 inch O.Scyllarus (peacock) or gonodayctylus chiragra into a nano, youre fine with pretty much any smasher species. (my nano is glass) Though it still freaks you out, sorry for teh hijack coral. Also coral for fragging that shroom, just take a razor (Brand New) sterilize it, then slice the shroom right down teh middle, through the mouth, make sure its all teh way, then to get one of the 2 new shrooms off the rock, just slice as close to the base as possible, rubberband it to a rock, and then let it attach, and believe it or not, where you sliced teh shroom from teh rock, a new shroom will grow from teh remnants of teh foot.

Its ok. Ok. Thanks for the info!! I only had if for like a week. Is it ok to frag it that early or should i wait like a few months or something?
