Kevin's little 5 gallon pico

Sometimes I wish my two egg-laden Scarlets would be a lot more shy. They attack my hand & grab pieces of food from me and the corals if I don't give them some 1st.
looking forward to your pictures!

Overnight she has lost all her shyness and came after me (or rather the food) when I was feeding the acans this morning LOL
Having some issues with aiptasia that came with the zoas so I decided to throw in a juvenile Double Saddle Butterflyfish (about 1.5 inches) and within 10 mins, it has dealt with all of the aiptasia (about 10 from what I could see). Now to get the fellow out after a job well done

Have you tried handing Scarlet a small piece of krill or shrimp? In order to feed my corals I have to hand over a piece of food to my 2. It's funny how they grab it and yank it away with more force than you'd think they could have. After I give one a piece, the other one knows it's next.

Yes, looks like its the only way to distract them away from our coral feeding routine lol
Couple of updates today. Firstly I've got myself the Rio Nano Skimmer to replace my current HOB and I've moved the Ricordea from the main tank over to the pico. Sorry couldn't resist to shoot it under actinics Now just waiting for the skimmer to break in.
