There's something fishy about this build...

[Goaway]

I kinda bought 3 fish when I meant to just buy acros….

Id dump the acros for them too. Sacropora is over rated honestly

Well I’m feeling close to 100% confident on the tamarins. Less so on the leopard, but I guess burying itself in the sand is in many ways a good sign.

Hopefully the leopard percks up. So many are probably poorly captured.

One went to bed but I am very very happy to see the leopard come out!!

Any recommendations on live food?

Never had an anampses. My go-to is dumping ROE and Reef Nutrition pods in the holding tanks. Hatched baby brine shrimp to get their appetite going. ROE will make them fat. Bigger fish, though, so maybe wants something meatier?

Thanks, I’ll look into those.
They’ve been closely examining the rocks. Might add some live rocks and cheato in to give them some amphipods and copepods.

So this just happened

Was feeding the eels squid heads and you know squid have a couple of really long tentacles? Well the snowflake spit out a head and the dragon wrasse saw this and grabbed one of those tentacles and tried to run away with it. But then it saw the rest of the head following it and had a massive freak out and tried to out swim the terrifying beast following it. Eventually it spit out the tentacle. Then the spotted eel grabbed it and swallowed everything except the long tentacle. For a couple of minutes it tried to swallow the rest but with no success. Finally it swam too close to my big power head. The tentacle got sucked in and suddenly my eels head is rammed into the grill of my power head. So I rush to unplug it. Finally I cut the tentacle in between my eels head and the power head and the eel was free. Lesson learned I am going to cut the long tentacles off in the future.

I saw two Snowflakes today while snorkeling. I was hoping to watch one catch a fish but no such luck.

They mostly eat shrimp and other crustacean. I only saw one. Hope you see some white mouth moray. They are stunning!

Today was the last snorkeling. Tomorrow is a Bee Farm tour and Coffee Plantation. Friday is a Cacao farm tour and hang out in Kona until the plane leaves.

We stayed pretty shallow - maybe 5' at the deepest. The octopus was cool to watch though!

Never saw an octopus and they are my favorite creatures

They are so cool!!

Never dived, but at the seattle beach we gathered crabs. We'd run into baby eels and octopus of various sizes.

It was a small one. I saw it twice and called my son over so he got to see it also.

In tide pools?

 

[Goaway]

In tide pools?

Yes. Its how i also started my first saltwater tank.

Sand and rock. The game warden told me it was ok. So, i took it.
