    congrats on the add, looks great... good lighting and water and the nem will be back in a week or so, i wouldnt feed it for at least a week or so and then maybe feed it a little every other week.. once healthy you shouldnt have to feed it.. i havent fed my lta in a few months, but every once in a while ill give it some shrimp..

    That is so cool! One of my domino's were in my rose bubble tip yesterday and I was so excited! Although nobody I know really cares, they just don't understand haha.

    look into a Blue Jaw Trigger! Reef safe in my experience!!!

    I will keep this in mind! It is kept under a sunlight supply 250w x2 MH setup (8 hours a day) and under two t5's (ati blue plus 14 hours a day) and then LED moonlights at night. I figured this would be adequate; it has found a spot about half way up on the tank.

    Wow, i definitely have to agree with that. Dont like the fact that its white though, those look like they're supposed to be beige..

    haha exactly, it definitely is awesome to watch

    Congrats on the new add and your clowns taking up residence. I have seen about that trick somewhere being pretty successful.

    yeah your lighting is plenty, just keep good stable water params and the nem will color up sooner than you think..just give it a little time to adjust to everything before u start trying to feed it.. but if it doesnt wanna eat it will spit the food back out..

    besides shrimp, when im at the fish market, i like to pick up some canned oysters to cook, and ill usually give the nem some of a raw one, they really like them, at least my lta does, but any kind of white fish(seafood), shrimp, scallops, clams, and oysters the nem will enjoy, i like to mix it up a little besides just feeding shrimp..also feed small peices instead of big chunks..this allows the nem to digest the food quicker..
