How fast do the fans grow? I've got 2 and don't notice growth- just health. But I bet, if i compared pics, I'd see it.

The ones from Florida grow slowly but very big. The Amber Sea Fan from Indonesia is fast

Those are some amazing choices for a brand new tank! Good for you! They're beautiful! What is that crab?

Thank you so much!! I’m a saltwater specialist at a LFS so I have a lot of resources available to me both physically and with knowledge about the subject. Plus my discount is that I get everything for 10% up from what the store bought it for so that helps lol. I got that “island” piece of live rock for $2 when it’s $15 a pound at retail price.

That crab is a banded porcelain crab, his name is Nebula They feed with fans that filter the water the same way as a freshwater bamboo or vampire shrimp. He doesn’t come out of the little “basement” hole in the front of the main rock structure very often but that keeps my mind at ease knowing that he’ll clean up whatever food gets stuck inside the caves and prevent an ammonia spike.

Someone buy that TG supernova!!That price is amazing!!

There are a few cleanup crew members we are looking to get next time we order. One thing I would like to do is start breeding some of them, in particular tuxedo urchins.

What urchins are reef safe. I inherited a penil urchin with a rescued tank and he just stays on his one rock, as far as I can tell.

 

[mycoralswontgrow]

I think so. We have had success cutting them for a while now. The Diablo we have is a particularly colorful variant with 4-5 separate colors. There is a new Diaseris we have now called an Insanty Plate that we paid an arm and a leg for but it is still just a frag.

Can we see a pic of the new one?

Ok makes sense on the Diablo.

Last question for at least 2 minutes how big are the pectinias in the sale

 

[GothFishKeeper]

Oh sorry- got my posts crossed- not a brand new tank... just new to corals. I never even saw that fish until Reefs by Steele made a sticker of one!

Haha I just saw that sticker yesterday for the first time! And no you’re right, relatively speaking 6 months is a pretty new tank

Can't speak on all of them, but my fave is the blue tuxedo urchins. They have done an amazing job cleaning the coralline and turf algae on our rocks.

NO
WAY!!!

That is so cool!!
I only just learned what pom pom crabs are... even though I got a Chucky doll vibe from the one in question. (Carrying around a decapitated goni head.)

I don't have any pics of the new one but if you do a google image search for TCK Insanity Plate that's it. Pectinias are a few inches

How long do you keep your lights on over your reef?​

 

[Tidal Gardens]

This photo was taken a month ago before we've added tuxedo urchins. They have already made a huge dent in the coralline coverage. A little bit of coralline is great but at some point macroalgae likes to grow on the thick sections so we appreciate the urchins mowing that down and letting it regrow.

 

[hoochers]

Just pulled the trigger on my first coral purchase. Wish me luck, I’m gonna hate myself if it dies on me
