Yeah, they gave me no problem about the swap. I will send you a PM about the store.
I did start with one cardinal, I then decided to add two more after a couple of days. I had no problem with them fighting, they all stayed together. I did read on them before I purchased them and it said that when you first get them they are friendly, but after some time, they will sometimes gang up on other fish. They didnt last long enough for the gang thing to happen. I am now back down to 1
My daughter asked me tonight (were did they go) I told her they are behind the rocks
looks like I will be adding two more tomorrow. I was also told though, they only last a couple of weeks, is that true? How could that be? They look older then a couple of weeks?
Thanks again everybody, wish me Luck

I was at GC tonight, so I already know where the anemones came from, LOL. I think he's mad at me that I said they can eat fish, but tough! Anyways, GC's Banggai's look much healthier than Aqua Huts to be honest, he's had them for over a week and they're all still doing well, you might want to spend the extra money and buy from him. I just bought three PJ Cardinals from him tonight and they immediately took to my tank and ate.
Sorry to hear about the problems you're having with your cardinals. :-(

NO...why would he be mad at you? I traded the anemones for a piece of coral that didnt cost as much as the anemones. I have spent probably $800 to $1000 there in the past week.
The only problem the Cardinals were having were the anemones, there were fine till they past over them. They ate one, and just killed the other. I should have never had two in my 92 corner. I have so much rock in the tank, it leaves them little room for era
One of the cardinals were from him. His was the second that just got killed. I dont think it was the fish, but yes, his is nicer.
They are very nice guys, I enjoy going there. Jay is a funny guy

Jay is hysterical. We were there really late last night (midnight) selling them our lights. He was cussing at the $100 Sun Coral they have there because it was fully open again and telling me how every time you go in it's closed. That's such a nice piece they have there. I'm surprised you don't get to see it open, it's always open when I'm there. Picked up a nice wall hammer too. My next visit is going to be one of those huge Acan rocks he has. He's selling those pieces for half the price everyone else is.

Yeah, They got a shipment in yesterday. I called in the afternoon and Jay was all excited about the stock they just got in. I love that sun coral
every time I went in, they tried to make it open, nothing
Thats my Luck
I purchased the smaller one, it opened as soon as I got it home. I love that piece. I have read a thread here about training it to open during the day, by feeding it at a certain time, I have been trying that.
Have you been to aqua hut in the past couple of days? They got a bunch on new corals, I purchased a Clam and some hermit crabs today. They sold a bunch of it, but still have alot. GC, has some really good prices. They must have just got in the hammer coral, I have been there a bunch of times this week and didnt see it.

I have read a thread here about training it to open during the day, by feeding it at a certain time, I have been trying that. It takes some time. Mine is trained so well that every time you put your hand in the tank it thinks it's getting bed so it's open pretty much all the time. What are you feeding?

Yeah, I bought a clam from them when we met you in there last week. It's doing really well in my nano tank. All the coral they got in I already own :-(

They just received the shipment that afternoon. I came in as they were unloading the boxes into the tanks. They have a few hammers in there. They have a wall hammer and a couple branching hammers. He also just got a bunch of Maxima clams in, they're really nice coloring. My husband wants to put one in our 155G. I'm thinking about buying more than one and creating a small clam garden in that tank since he's selling them for 27.99. We'll see

WOW!!! That sounds awesome, I love the look of that piece. What a treat, to come home to a smile from a sun coral
I feed mine reef snow and mysis. Do you feed yours every other day?
Yeah, Aqua hut got a bunch more clams and other coral in on Thursday. I paid $35 for mine, its about 3in. I have been purchasing live rock for the 150, its just that when I bring it home, its always finding a spot in my 92. How was GC's new live rock? He wanted me to purchase a case, sight unseen. I really didnt want to with out seeing it (African purple) it sounds nice, I would rather pay a little more though and pick out my pieces. I dont understand how it gets shipped in and its already cured. Doesn't it have die off in rout? It's not like it's shipped in water?
Your clam garden sounds really nice, and at $27.99 each, how can you go wrong. Please keep me updated with pictures

We're lazy with our sun coral to be completely honest. My husband only physically feeds it twice a week with PE Mysis with vitamins added. I'm sure it grabs food every day when we feed the the fish as well as the food we add for filter feeders once or twice a week.
The African rock is OK. Not that much coralline on it, he was actually not too happy with the quality when it finally came in. Almost all my rock is from Aqua Hut except for the Tonga pieces I had from my 40gallon.
He goes and picks the rock up from a shipper upstate. It's cured and in water when he picks it up, throws it in a styrofoam cooler with some water and drives home with it. It is cured, and there were some nice pieces, but not too much coralline.
We'll see about the clam garden. If there's clams left next week when he gets paid, we'll probably pick up two or three.
