I like him too, I feed him all kinds of stuff, generally flake food or mysis shrimp, but I also add spinach or sushi algae sheets for him to nibble at. I used to feed him lettuce but I heard spinach is healthier (for me) so I buy spinach for myself and feed him the slightly wilted pieces.

What happens when you don't have enough money for new stuff? I mess around with my old stuff. After 9 months in my 10 gal QT I finally moved my bicolor blenny to my display and tore down the 10 gal. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some pictures of him (Frank) in his new home.
I was able to snap this one picture of him tonight...

Wierd, I just noticed some of my pictures are gone, oh well. time to add more.
My bicolor blenny has been in his new home less than a day and he is already enjoying all the extra rocks to play on. I noticed my blue damsel acting aggressive to him at first but I think they've gotten used to each other now. I am super paranoid about him getting picked on or getting sick, I suppose this is because I babyed him for 9 months and gave him an actual name. Well here are two new pictures of Frank.

Ok, I hope this video works. I added some flow to my tank and my hammer coral hasn't opened as much as it used to. Does it look like it is getting to much flow? Thanks

Great video! :cheer: Someone else will have to say if the flow is good or not good. Looks fine to my newbie eyes though. Love your blenny though. And from what I've read Damsels are famous for picking on other fish, which is why I won't ever have one. Anyway, your tank looks great!

Thanks for watching! As far as my damsel, he has stopped being aggressive towards my new bicolor blenny so I am happy about that and my bicolor seems to be enjoying his new big tank.

I'm starting to think noone likes my video. Oh well, I post some more pictures anyway. I'm still trying to figure out how to get closeups of my zoos without them being blurry.

And two more, a purple gorgonian and some sort of hitchiker, not sure what it is.

Just a quick update and a bump in an attempt to get more people to watch my video.
I readjusted the direction of my powerhead and my hammer has been opening up almost as much as before. I don't think I had too much flow on the hammer but I noticed my Xenia was getting tossed around too much.

More updates. Unfortunately no new stuff but I figured I'd get pictures to track growth.

Thanks, and sure. I just did a waterchange and a lot of rearranging today to recover a fallen ricordea mushroom so some of the corals aren't open as much as normal.
I switched the locations of my green sinularia and my xenia and really trimmed back my xenia.

Sure, I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow, but for now I'll try to describe a step by step.
1. Get an empty 2 liter soda bottle, remove the label, (lemon juice works well from removing the sticky part)
2. Cut the bottom or the top off, about 4-5 inches down.
3. If you use the bottom piece like I did you will want to drill or cut a small hole (roughly 1/8 inch) in the bottom.
4. Have the suncoral in an easy spot, I have mine in front in the sand. A flat rock will also work I suppose.
5. Place the cover over the sun coral (If you have overly friendly fish like i do you might have to shoo them away from your hand while you are covering the sun coral)
6. Mix up some food, cyclopeeze, or shrimp, crushed flake food; with a small amount of water.
7. Squirt the food through the hole, just a little at first to get the sun coral to open.
8. Once the coral is open feed it the rest of the food.
9. Leave the cover on for atleast 45 minutes, I usually leave it on over night.
Wow, that looks like alot of steps, but it is really fairly easy.

Ok, here are the pictures. Nothing fancy. First is just the cover out of the water, you can see the hole I drilled in it. Second is my suncoral covered, and lastly a picture of the sun coral eatting, you cannot see much since the white lights were off and I just fed it so it is cloudy.
And yes, I leave the cover like that over night, but I would say you would want a minimum of 30-45 minutes.
