Kim, your tank looks very nice. Been trying to find time to read through the whole thread, but just haven't had time yet. Wanted to tell you however, that from what I've seen so far, its excellent.

Love the ricordia!

The pics of the clowns doing the stare down on the hermits are incredible. Seems like they could win some contest.

That pom pom crab is a meanie! I added another one in there a couple of days after I added him and the next time I saw the other one, both of his pom poms were gone and he was missing 2 legs! I'm pretty sure that this pom pom had something to do with that! And I don't know why because he had his own pair of pom poms!

You think??? Those clowns are funny. They do this everytime a crab or snail comes too close to their brain. I guess they think that they're intimidating.

How many crabs and snails you got in there for your cleanup crew ? just wondering what everyone has. I only have maybe 6 snails and 6 hermits in each of mine. should i add more ?

Hmmm.... I have to keep replacing nassarius snails because my hermits, no matter how many empty shells there are available to them, will still kill them.
I probably have about 10 dwarf blue legs sporting nassarius snail shells.
My current CUC is made up of about 15-20 dwarf blue legs, 4 nassarius snails, 7 astrea snails and 3 scarlet reef hermits. I also have 1 (possibly 2, haven't seen the 2nd one in a while) pom pom crabs. The blue legs are awesome little cleaners, so definately add a bunch of dwarf blue leg hermits.

What kind of clowns are those, True Perc?
I love how they 'stare down' other things in the tank..

Like in the last pic.. looking at the boxer crab.

well, I didn't quite think they looked like True -- not enough black.. but they could've been young?

But I didn't think Picasso's has any black in them?

Sorry that I have been MIA for a little while. I've been sick with a wicked summertime cold and an evil cough that won't go away, so I'm staying pretty doped up on Tussionex, which is awesome and the only thing that will help me get some sleep. I'm also still dealing with a lot of things at work. We're about to open another dialysis clinic, so I'm still having to plan the grand opening and all, sick or not.
and you know the "cliche" that it seems like everytime you go on vacation or you're away for a few days, or there is any kind of break in the "routine", something goes wrong with your tank... well, this time around, it was with my 29g at work. I've lost my sweet little bicolor blenny.
My staff went in everyday to check on my babies and had the aquarium maintenance guy check my water and feed my fish last Friday, but when I came in on Saturday to check on things, I couldn't find my blenny anywhere. I removed the top and removed everything from the back chambers to see if he might have jumped back there, but nothing. No traces of his little body anywhere. So now he's gone. His little hole is empty. I miss that sweet little thing.


I don't know what could have happened to him. He wasn't sick. Healthy as can be and really the "King of the Tank".

So I think that I am going to sell my entire 29 gallon set up to someone local. It will take awhile though because I won't let my little n-a-k-e-d clowns go to just "anyone".
My 14 is doing very well. The elegance is happy and healthy and my duncans are growing more and more heads everyday it seems. It's got to be the fastest growing coral ever. My Picasso's and the possum wrasse are absolutely precious. All 3 of them swim together and the possum wrasse will even get in the brain with them. I think he thinks that he's a clown too. It's the sweetest thing to watch. They are so peaceful and loving towards each other. I'll have to take a pic and post it.

Anyway, if I'm away for awhile, it's probably because I'm busy or sick, but I'll try to catch up one day soon! Miss you all!

Sorry for you'r loss Kim!! I lost my new little Maroon clown today
I saw a group of snails and crabs brawling and I knew there was trouble...sure enough I saw what they were fighting over and it was my new buddy
It was obviously way to late to save him, I just got him on fathers day. That's what I get fro buying myself a gift
