time to share

Really nice Purp Tank, I stumped on the Foxface though......all three of mine have a single dot on the tail area. Still all Foxfaces are great reef fish. Excellent tank set-up.

 

yea i have no idea what thats all about. when i 1st got him ,it was a single spot. should change mine to a smudge foxface. lol. but hes healthy , happy and an absolute pig. hes a great fish.

 

I've got a large foxface and he had one dot for the longerst time. Then the spot just started smudging like yours for no apparent reason. I had never seen one do this before but now I've seen two.

looks really good

 

thnx dreiling. and welcome to the smudge foxface club matt. lol

 

You've been holding out on me - it's about time you did tank thread! I love it - looks great!

Your human brain or the tank brain?

I bought a brain (about time, right?) at a frag swap last summer. It looked great at first, but started looking bad fast. After some spy work, I figured out my peppermint shrimp and cleaner shrimp were picking it to death at night - I caught them in the act several times. I finally moved it to Bo's tank, and it's done much better. Just a thought, but you might check to see if anything is bothering it at night.

 

Awsome tank pics.everything is looking great,love that purple tang..

 

dont think i added this guy. think its a mcoskers\carpenter wrasse. flashers sometimes arent choosy who they mate with. so end up getting mutts sometimes. lol. sorry for the crap quality pic. but at least i tried.

 

Trying is what counts! +k for pics!

Your making me jealous that I have to wait for my fairy wrasses now

 

I have an open brain similar to yours and was also seeing some serious signs of distress. We went away for vacation and I figured he would probably be gone by the time we got home...to my surprise, he was happier than ever....the only thing we did different was that we turned OFF the skimmer while we were gone. My assumption is that it was starving (we keep good water conditions and a very clean tank - pay no attention to the OCD). Since then, as Steve said, we spot feed it pretty regularly and have had no problems since then!
