2 yrs ago...think I need some euphys...

I'm hooked on euphyllia... I'm high on believin'... that you're waving at me!!!

Im thinking of ways to buy time with the clown tang, until he can go to flora, more live rock? Rearanging some scape? He's not doing well in the sump.

That tank is packed! I love some hammers and nice torches but they don’t love my tank.. I’ve lost so much color on them after moving them to my big tank ugh… I’m having a really hard time getting my nutrients up and it’s driving me crazy! Even my Sps are turning pale! I’m dosing Neo phos and nitro on top of heavy feedings.. just started yesterday with reef roids.. got some stump remover coming today as it’s getting to be quiet expensive buying brightwell lol.. my tank is super clean and sparkly it’s crazy.. I haven’t even cleaned the glass in a week and it’s scaring me haha!

What are they from ?

Fireworm. The bristles are extra long

Trap some ,knock down population...

Theres not many, if anything 1 or 2 left. Not big breeders like normal bristles. My guess, it trued to move into Elis den and she kicked it out.

Might just get an arrow crab and find another detrivore. Gunna see if lfs has any skunk shrimp.

My brittle worm population is almost gone after I added a skunk cleaner shrimp. I didn't think they ate them, but when I find one and hold it with tweezers the shrimp attacks it and takes it away to eat it. So apparently it's a delicacy.

Mine never touched them. They only stole food from coral. Lfs hasnt gotten skunk in ages. Maybe due to price? I might have to ask him to order a couple and an arrow crab, + some springers. It sucks I have to make these choices. The orange Caribbean fireworm is an amazing detrivore.

I know they're a good CUC, but bristles hurt.

That's why, they have to go. I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this.

 

[rmorris_14]

I have so many bristles in my evo.... they are coming out of everything like mini kraken arms.

I thought fireworms were a no-no in reef tanks bc they're coral eaters, yours doesn't touch coral?

Thats certain species. For example, the bearded fireworm. I have orange Caribbean fire worms.

 

[Goaway]

Still adjusting.... from 40ppm to 35.. this is taking time.

Tacos, tamales on the way.

Tuesdays are delicious.

Thanks I learned something new, I had no idea there was a fireworm that didn't eat coral.

There are probably several species that wont. But, due to fish injuries. Not worth finding out.

 

[Goaway]

Ohh, shrimp are now in the display. and the skunk ran right to Eli and was touching her. Eli went into hiding so no pics of the skunk offering help right out of the bag.
