    That thing is pretty, I didn't know they are hard to keep alive.

    it did at first, but they both seem happy now and in plain site which is nice

    yeah, Chris pretty hard to get past 6 months, although its possible. I read a good article on them the other day about what to do. Just some very specific feeding habit. We'll wait and see.

    The blue electric impulses that go across its mantle is pretty neat to watch;)

    Dang, YT has Ich and kole Tang is COVERED, never seen how bad Ich actually is until its on a black fish, but man, looks uncomfortable. Selcon, Nori and better foods to the rescue.... I hope. please hope with me. The pustules are literally hanging off him.

    I'm hoping with you.

    Why the sudden onset? Something from the scallop bothering them?

    ahh, the blue eyed kole has always struggled with it. never seen it this bad though. and I hate the the YT has it, but I'm not overly worried, I'll just overfeed and add vitamins;)

    dang iphone doesn't make it come thru right, need to borrow a camera, although one swam his way into a cave and mostly out of site.
