I feel this forum has been a huge help at getting me where I am with my tank and want to thank everyone for their help with getting me going and here are a few pics of what I have today.

Thanks again to everyone for their help!

Arrow Crab


Chili Coral during day

"Hospital area" where cleaner does what he does best...clean fish!

 

Nudibranch (Chromodoris Lochi)

WOW!!! It's really come along well. Great pic of the chili coral too.

 

Thanks inwall75!, a few items came over from my eclipse 12 that i've had for around 4 years, but for those that didn't see..here is where my tank was a little over a month ago I really like this chili coral, I tend to get most of my time to look at my tank at night, so seeing all the activity at night and now getting to see a coral thrive at night is quite interesting. I've heard they should be hung upside down..so I am thinking about trying to hang it from the "cave" its currently sitting in. Anyone know how/if you can frag a chili coral?

 

Looks awesome! Hope you're feeding that chili coral lots of plankton though?

 

I wasn't really sure "how" or if I could target feed it..some of these corals I don't really understand how you could target feed them but maybe you can help I have been adding DT's phytoplankton to the tank usually about 20ml every 2 days...is this enough or should I try to specifically target the chili coral or any other corals for that matter. I also have a crocea clam (not pictured) I also have reef chili and Cyclop Eeze. Haven't fed reef chili yet though as I was thinking it would probably be best to target feed something like that and wasn't quite sure how...with my sea squirt and just very slowly as to not "blow" too hard on the corals?

THANKS!

Your best bet would be to feed phyto and plankton during lights out, when the coral has its polyps extended. Because of the animals in your tank, it would probably be a good idea to modify the bottom of a 2 liter soda bottle so that you can protect the coral while you target feed it. Simply cut a hole in the bottom half of the pop bottle, place it over the coral and use a turkey baster to squirt the food into the hole.

Also, not sure if you know much about nudibranchs but most are very specific feeders and will die if you don't know what to feed them. Any idea what yours is eating?

 

very nice
