You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

104 dang! And I thought my third tank was too hot for corals!

Maricultured versions of the Strawberry Shortcake are in extremely shallow water so I would imagine they can tolerate warmer water but there are some corals that grow right up next to thermal vents from volcanoes so they're probably significantly warmer.

Plenty of flow and gas exchange.

Ordered a new fish! One I've had before but didn't get a long with my yellowtail. I think it will be fine this time though.
Do tell...

I need another Foxface plus a Cleaner Wrasse, right? Probably already gone or ridiculous price.

That cleaner wrasse might need its own cleaner wrasse.. ( though they do look healthy honestly) just that tank…

Especially the Pineapple (@rmorris_14 isn't interested since it's right side up?).

He's rehoming these, a Chromis, and two black clowns. I messaged about the Fox and Wrasse but I'm assuming they're gone - he had two guys (one rehomes a TON of fish) pm yesterday like 5 minutes after he posted.

@i cant think is it normal for a tilefish to be very very intense? Mine is insane for food.
Yep, mine is the same. IME, them being aggressive for food is a sign they’re doing great. If they aren’t then you have to worry.

Now when I said big I mean it was big for its price and compared to the deresa clams that were with it.
Photos!!!

Of the crocea not the brown tilefish ;)
How dare you mention clams and not tag me. :angry-face:
This just after adding so pretty closed and I don’t know how to get a good photo. So you’ll have to trust me that’s it pretty.

Just balance it?
Yes. It may attach itself. Crocea clams are rock boring. They use acid to dissolve rocks to attach. Pretty cool, huh?

Commonly called the boring giant clam, Tridacna crocea isn’t ‘boring’ in that sense. A recent study confirmed that this species truly builds their boreholes with acid!
