yes Terry they won !!!!!! The chili is nocturnal - out at night - retracted when tank lights on - will get pics of remainder with lights on.

 

[Reefmack]

Great to hear the girls won!

 

[Bobi1956]

I have to figure out how to feed this chili - says free floating in tank is no good - it desires to be in a cave type location - requires target feeding with brine shrimp, zoo or photoplankton - lord at the jobs I create for myself LOL

 

[Reefmack]

That's where research first helps. Want my Sun corals? LOL!

 

[Bobi1956]

I know I know I know - Extreme's ad kind of mislead me as they referred to it as a red leather - no I don't want your sun's but I'll give u my chili LOL

 

[Reefmack]

No trades possible in this case LOL! Good luck with the chili, hopefully it'll do well for you. I had considered trying one myself, but so far have fought off the temptation. Extreme isn't always the most accurate on their descriptions.

 

[JimmyJ]

Nice looking additions Bob

 

[Bobi1956]

Thks Jim - so far so good with new adds.

 

[Bobi1956]

Tank update - flame angel has taken out montipora, capastrea meteor shower and heliofungia plate coral. I'm hoping he is through LOL. Chili is doing well though I wonder how long it takes one to starve to death and other than that all is well. At least I haven't lost any fish !!! LOL. Im calculating that my flame angel is now worth $300 wooohooooooo.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Ouch !

 

[redsea reefer]

Bad fishy

 

[Bobi1956]

I took a risk and it didn't exactly work as I had wished. Flame angel is very healthy however LOL

 

[Reefmack]

Wow - that was not good news. I was going to ask you if you were feeding the Heliofungia and how often, but I guess it doesn't matter now. Now that my Flame has finished off my green birdsnest and pocillopora, he seems to have left the rest alone, and has finally started eating some fish food. Time will tell.

 

[lethal]

That hurts.

 

[kyley]

Yeah that sucks Bob. Hopefully he's done, but I kind of doubt it if he's eaten that much already! Terry, I hope yours doesn't get the munchies as bad as Bob's! I don't think I could keep the fish myself if it had eaten more than one of my corals... That would be hard though! Take care,
--Kyle

 

[Reefmack]

Mine has finally started eating normal fish food and dried algae. He's run out of tasty SPS!

 

[lethal]

Not going to restock then?

 

[Reefmack]

No more SPS for me. LPS, leathers and softies by the time I'm done

 

[JimmyJ]

Can't fish and corals just be one big happy family ??? :hug1:

Sorry to hear about the coral buffet...

 

[JimmyJ]

Have not yeard from you in awhile Bob. How have you and the tank been?
