Looks great plum. Just curious have the clowns worked out there social structure? Is there a female yet and a breeding male?

 

[tygerfifteen]

plum in the last pic is that bubble algae or bubble calupera?
wanteed to know thatnkx

 

[plum70rt]

yes bubble calerpa, grows like crazy,I take some out now and then and give it to the tangs, 262 gallon is fine, no real changes everything a little bigger, those trumpets were found in the live rock bin at a LFS, so I grabbed them, just put them in, lets see how they do

 

[plum70rt]

also yes there is a structure in the clown family, 2 seem to be a pair, when i figure it out, and some grow, I will move them to the 262 gallon, for now they all get along,

I know you are a retiree and all so I won't ask if my question slipped your mind ......
The nano forum is too small to have flames!

OA, sorry, yes that green serpent star is fine, he does a great cleanup job, the only loss I had is a clam got knocked over, and my crab took a taste and then ate it all, I released him back to the ocean, fat and happy,

hmmm ok so what about a small serpent or brittle in a 20?? too small of a tank?

 

[plum70rt]

well IMO not forever, they grow, get a small one , I got the smallest one I could find,

what kind of light do you have over the clam???? just wondering because i would like to get a small 2" clam from my 20g but not sure if 130watts PC will be enough?
BTW tank looks great....and i always love seeing pics of your 262..... that thing is AWSOME
