I just wanted to say thank y'all for the Mandy love. She's hunting today. Nothing in the tank has even given her a second look.

Basically I have her cyber sister doing the same thing, also just over an inch, maybe we have cyber twins?! ;)

That said, some people will automate the addition of live Phytoplankton using a doser. Technically they can say they are dosing it.
finally some support! But Ok ok ok lol I FEED phytos every day at 2:00 in the same amount each time ;Dead

Followed within an hour by the same amount of oyster feast

That trachy is going to eat the pederson. They are voracious carnivores. They don’t discriminate against food.
I know. I also know she navigates it very specifically. She was on it before it reached the sandbed the first day. Toxic love.

Ok look, I don't use the word DOSE when I talk about phyto. It's just not the way I think about it. I think about it as a food. Am I incorrect? Educate me if I'm wrong.
Lol, no, I think you are correct. I just think of putting liquid in the tank as dosing.

So, my clowns lay completely still inside my dinner plate trachy radiat-a(if I put the a next to the t it changes to radiate)... they've been doing this for a two years now. Like, literally inside all the folds where the mouths and tentacles are. My coral banded shrimp also walks all over both trachys until the clowns see him and begin WWIII.

I wouldn't call them voracious carnivores. Feeding response is so slow, they lose more food to flow in a completely stagnant tank from just fish swimming than they can eat.

Your use of HE made me ask. We were told she, but I am questioning that. I understand Woodstock is very juvenile.
I'm not sure when maturity happens in mandarins, but tall first dorsal spine is male. Same height as others is female.

Some females actually do have a small spike on the spotted. I've even seen pics of mated pairs like that. I will agree I'm leaning toward male too.
