never kept one, but they're supposedly known to be a gentle giant and an exception for the largerish halichoeres

since it's larger it might enjoy some cuc though

tbh my halichoeres aren't bad at all on cuc, biocellatus and used to have chrysus. my copperband otoh.. she wrecks a snail if it tips over
Pretty awesome! Just got added to the list :)

Not used to constantly turning snails back over, I think it's a sand related issue. They could right themselves easier on my BB tank.

One of my Tunze 6105 would only cycle on/off. I tore down the controller and there was a bad solder on the bottom knob. Quick fix and now the tank is cranking. I think this spots going to get a nice dense table of some kind :)

If you need or want a Tiger tail cucumber, I think I have four now. They keep my sand pretty clean on the surface.

That might be cool, I'll let you know if I make it out that way.


I think what I really need to find is someone in need of colonies. Struggling to see placement and have it look remotely natural. I'm almost tempted to start somewhat fresh with frags of what I have.

I'll text you an idea. So far, it's worked out nicely for me.

Everyone woke up (still dont see the twin spot goby though) and seems to be playing nice so far. The only two that are paying attention to one another are the katherine's and exquisite. Not really diggin the way the naoko is twitching. Almost looks like he thinks about flashing but then scurries away, maybe a fluke twitch?


Naoko wrasee is a nice fish. Very shy though and freaks out easily. You may need to have a screen top to prevent your wrasses from jumping out.

Good to know. I read aggressive but so far in a 20g with the other fairies he’s the most timid.

that’s on the to do list. The plastic mesh showed up Friday now I just gotta run out and get the screen kit from HD. I found a feeder door by IM when I was digging threw my reef crap, so that’ll be awesome to try out.

PB is really pumping my CBB. Im gonna try a mirror for a day or two then it’s fish trap if that doesn’t work.

Thanks man, hopefully it will. I’m tempted to only keep my smaller stuff and sell all the colonies. See what the rest look like grown out.

Kinda feels like that’s the only way it would fill in and look natural is to start with large frags basically.
Everything looks pretty darn good so far though. Slime is gone and polyps are out.
