Trying again

[snakeblitz33]

I've only seen maybe six other tanks with LTP corals that have survived more than a year in captivity. I'm not saying it can't be done... just saying good luck.

A MOD didn't know how to upload or do something??? *GASP*
J/K!
Good luck with them.
Do you or do you plan to feed your plate corals?
LOL...It just wouldn't load.....so I had to download my pics to photobucket and post them using the url......IDK WHY
I will probably place a small piece of shrimp on it periodically.....and go from there
Seth.....I have never had any luck with plates....BUT always had some sort of sandsifter fish.....So thanks for the wish of luck.....I will probably need it

 

[meowzer]

OH YEAH....I forgot to mention I got another cleaner wrasse.....Hopefully I will have as much luck with it as the other one ..AS FAR AS EATING.....and hopefully it won't jump out

 

[travelerjp98]

Ive heard that the plate corals eat like monsters. Lol.

That plate looks crazy... I have seen a one or two long tentacles before at the LFS and thought they looked super cool. Kinda like an anemone.

I have read that you can/should feed daily. I bet that thing would look sweet at night. Nice pick up, good luck!!!

That is just crazy!! Is that type of behavior limited to the LT plates???

 

[meowzer]

LOL.....HMMMM....I did not see the new cleaner wrasse this morning.....

 

[travelerjp98]

Maybe he was just.... hungry.

 

[smallreef]

I totally forgot about that... hhrrmmm best get to searching for that wrasse,,, or making a tupperware cover for the plate, lol

 

[meowzer]

Well I am happy to say when I got home the wrasse was swimming around
The new zoas have not opened yet

 

[meowzer]

HAHA
I just put an algae sheet in the tank and the wrasse is eating it

 

[travelerjp98]

Oh how panicked we fishkeeprs get with our tanks, it aint even funny.

 

[meowzer]

UH....I don't recall being panicked...lol
BUT ANYWAY.....also happy to report when I fed the tank this morning the wrasse was all over the food......YAYYYYY

doubt it will live...they need parasites for a diet. its on the internet they will eat frozen, algae, and ANY other fish food, but will die of malnutrition. good luck

 

[travelerjp98]

Hows the plate... and the wrasse, for that matter, doing?

 

[meowzer]

Both the plate and the wrasse are doing great.....zoas have never opened tho

 

[travelerjp98]

The cup is 3/4 full, not a quarter empty!

 

[snakeblitz33]

Anything changed since yesterday?

 

[meowzer]

NO With the zoas that is.....the other stuff is doing fine
