    Hi I have this blue damsel that was my first fish ::)
    Am not going to let him go he's in a nano 10 gallon tank but my problem with him he shift the sand and the sand has like all over the place and on top of live rock and holes around the live rock it bugs me,anything I can do to make him stop?;)


    No other things in tank expect a few Zoas and cleaner crew in tank so a nest is less possiable...But his sand swifting gets the sand all over the corals and annoys them too lol

    Also does anybody know a cheap store in florida where I can buy zoa polyps or even cheap corals?It seems where I live its over price and no good corals ever come to petshops most don't care if they sale or not it seems.or even if the corals have the light needed,I once went into a petshop where an mushrooms where under this tiny light and dieing off...Wich now I trun into internet buying but that seems worst due to most sellers ripping off people by selling 1 inch frags with 1 polyp on it..So..its been hell for me to get corals,mostly looking for companys that are in florida that sales corals becuase over night shipping on other states way to expensive.
    8) I will buy corals for a reasonable price off people,so if anybody has any send me a message!

    Blue damsel's like swishing the sand. Thats just the way it is, lol.
    If your looking at more choices on corals, I would suggest looking into various reef clubs that may be in your area

    Only if you cover the bottom with LR is this going to stop I think. Some fish just like to play in the sand. Perhaps you could leave a small section in the corner of the tank away from your corals and let him get messy there.

    You're right CL. I just haven't seen it here yet. Is it blue damsel or blue devil?
