Hmmm, conference in Atlanta with a very enticing networking dinner...

Will you have time to go to the best LFS in the country? And let me know if you want to eat out assuming I’m in town. You can practice your “oral session” while eating out. ;)

We'll see if I can manage an abstract before the deadline tonight. Not looking likely, though. Still, I need to see this famous LFS at some point!

Yup. You're in atl ga, might be able to sell/give away down in our forums market. Craigslist (super scary). Facebook market, lfs? If you're social, friends?
Well I don’t use social media and I’m very much antisocial so that rules out a couple :face-with-tears-of-joy:
But I can definitely try the market

So some of the Monti drags are doing alright.

This one broke off while moving the coral. As you can see it lost a lot of polyps but has since stopped receding.

Ever seen such a fuzzy pavona?

So the tamarin is still just eating pods out of my chaeto. Any suggestions on getting it to eat frozen? Or any food suggestions
I've never kept a tamarin. As for picky eaters, I've only been playing the waiting game.

I chop up shrimp, clam, mussel, and smash up fish pellets. Throw it in a blender. Eventually my fickle fish eat that.

I offer Foods in small portons hourly when I have new fish. It's always worked.

Now when I added the angelixir. Everyone went nuts. Not sure exactly why.

My wrasse also eat nori on a clip.

Time, comfort, a stinky food. They eat eventually if their health isn't compromised.

Thanks! That’s good advice. I have a variety of things coming from Algae barn too. It looks healthy and I think it’s eating live food from algae I’m adding but I’m not sure.

Regal angelfish are shy, timid, and fickle eaters. So I was told by the internet.

Long story short

Ate smothered food off of vermitid snails, and the montipora i have.

You can try to smother mysis on rock and hope the tamarin will nip.

I did that with my copperband. Did not work.

Right, regal also ate pods off of the algae I added.

You can try fan worms if you have any sumped.

In a week, flip over some rocks for her to investigate as well.

I don't really know the tamarin family too well. But, I'd treat them like a dragon wrasse and h. Chrysus. They both love rocks that have been flipped.

Concerning thing is the brine shrimp eggs are shown as being in water on their image whereas what I got is dry??

Have they hatched yet? Dry eggs will hatch in 24-48hr once you put them in water.
