Yeah, those are Xenia, I have 2 types of clove polyps, and they dont grow, or spread the same way Xenia does, and nice shots!

Here is my Nassarious cleaning hard after a WC. This little guy is very active in my tank:



And here are the newest inhabitants of the tank:


I just love these shrimp, her color is unreal. Do you guys think she'll get along with a sexy shrimp??? I really want one of those too.

Here is my new Zoa, it's still a bit shy....not wanting to fully open, but i don't mind, I'm a bit shy too:



More to come later.....i got some gsp too, but I'm going to wait a little bit to post a pic of it, I have big plans for it and i want it to start to do it thing first.

Great Pics !!

Love the shots I'm not sure about the two shrimp getting along but I'll look that up My guess is that those will get along

Next project...........FUGE!!!! I can't get a Bio Cube and not make at least 1 mod. So, here's the question. Do I scrape off the back and add an external light??? or do I go with a submersible light??? For those of you familiar with the BC, I'm talking about for the center chamber.

My preference is to go with the submersible....for looks over any other reason. I found these lights (pond lights):



It's 2 10w bulbs. the question you may ask first is ......... what kind of heat will that add to the water?....good question. I have thought about this too. do you think i could compensate by lowering my heater temp? (if in fact this light will produce heat).

But in the end, i want what is best for my tank. so if going with a external fuge light will be better......I'm willing to remain open to the idea.

Perhaps you have a question I have not asked myself yet??

[DarthOcellaris]

20 watts of light shouldn't raise your temps by themselves...

Glad to see some mods LOVE mods

[Phishnoob]

Amazing pics...I saw you way back on page 2 and had to post something. I love that Fire Shrimp

I have flat worms. When i bought my gsp and zoa's I knew I couldn't iodine dip them, but I didn't know I could fw dip them ........so they brought in the pest. I'm going to get some flatworm exit.......will it kill my pods???? I like my pods, I don't want anything to happen to the.

and


My zoa's aren't looking so good....I'll get some pics in the morning, but basically they look like they are pooping. Their purging this black/brown stuff out their mouths and not opening..........I don't want to loose them.


Tonight I'm sad and discouraged........I don't want anything bad to happen to my tank, my wonderful husband keeps reassuring me that I'm doing good, I'm trying to rest on that.

Talk to you in the morning TRT

I wouldn't freak out about the flatworms,.. but your doing the right thing by killing them early, if you wait till you have too many (like there all over the place) when they die it could poison the tank. If FWE is safe for shrimp it should be safe for pods.

Your Zoa's probably are just pooing,.. mine do that from time to time.

I think your doing great too Love the pics!

Thanks for the encouragement.....I feel a bit better today. I picked up a CUTE little pom pom crab today and got some free paly's (I fw dipped these one's). I'll post some pics tomorrow. I'm going to pick up some flatworm exit tomorrow as well.

OH, and have I mentioned.........I just love my fire shrimp, she cracks me up and she's a little attention ***** too.

[fish.freak]

does it still have both pom poms?

[seasalt dreams]

pom pom crabs are so cool!

[reginanmc]

yeah it's got both pom pom's and is super active so far.
