PackLeader's 200 gallon Reef

glad you got your cbb pack. outstanding lookin fish . same as your gorgorian . guess your chromis thought he had a pack behind him gettin brave like that. lol. thnx for the updates

 

Just a quick update:

CBB is doing great. Has developed a more narrow taste for food, and is only really going for mysis or my home made. Has developed something with his fins. Not ich, but am not sure what it is. I think it might be some slight infection due to being netted either during collection or transport. Still eating and behaving normally, so no worries. Gargonian is looking better and better each day. I am feeding it three times a week, with finely ground flake food soaked in phyto. I will put pics up tonight.
Macros in the fuge are mixed results. My chaeto and ulva are really not liking something. Chaeto is turning white, ulva clear. Halimedia is staying about the same. Shaving brush is growing, and the mermaids fan has been prolific.
As an update, randomly on Tuesday, POTR finally got back to my about my botched order (I was getting ready to call my CC company). They were going to ship another CBB. I told them I already got one from another source, so they are letting me substitute. VERY slow but I guess not completely bunk. So I am getting a long nosed butterfly. Supposedly supposed to be here tomorrow.

 

wow so cool youre adding another butterfly. are they difficult to keep ?

 

Wow,took them long enough. Wonder what kinda' morph you'll get this time...lol.Maybe the long nose will get here on time and healthy.

 

The copperbands are pretty difficult. They are a PITA to get feeding and very sensitive to water quality and disease.
Long nosed are supposedly easy, said to be the easiest of all butterflies. Feeds readily, water quality tolerant, and fairly resistant to disease. This is all from reading though, I have yet to keep one personally.

 

I am calling 4 striped damsel :

 

I'm thinking you'll get one of those cool yellow tail blue butterflies=)

 

Nice pic! We have one about that big - really creepy. He now lives in the fuge, dining on my macro algae. I kept having visions of my fish disappearing..

 

If that happens, I have visions of boiling water and melted butter

 

2 of my 4 emerald crabs from Reeftopia are about that big. I saw one of them sharing a meal with a blue leg hermit yesterday. That meal was one of our snails.
If he goes after any of my fish, then he's going over to Dave's tank where my old dottyback will rip his legs off one by one.
