Well, the Rics seem to be doing just fine, they look like they have completely healed themselves....

Here are some pics to share, First is the frag of Frogspawn that i picked up, and then one of the Peppermint(I think they already got to the aptaisia) and the other is a rock that shows some coraline on it, the rock was completely that green color 2 months ago, now look, see how quick it spreads!!! the same goes for the rest of my rocks too!

Rics look good! did the little pieces that ripped make it? they should grow into new polyps.

tippMANn98 · 08-17-2007, 09:33 AM

cassette, thats not the one that split, sorry, forgot to point that out...but yes, I think they should be fine!!

Happy corals a coraline are good indicators of tank health! Nice job!

tippMANn98 · 08-20-2007, 09:27 AM

Well, its monday, I have had all weekend to find something to buy!!! And I did...just dont know EXACTLY what they are, I was hoping maybe sombody here would?! I have never seen these before, each polyp is very small, but very very pretty blue...THEY WERE ONLY $26(couldnt pass that up)....here they are:

and these are for cassette!!! Ripped Ric's----

the other was ripped off of this one on the lower right part of the disc.
Here is the other 2 together(i think now even 3)

And here is where I put the blue polyps..

Craig Manoukian · 08-20-2007, 11:25 PM

Looks like an Organ Pipe, I think, variety.

tippMANn98 · 08-21-2007, 08:32 AM

Everybody tried to answer this one for me on a different thread...Everybody says blue clove polyp(Clavularia sp.) im still not convinced, one person came closer when they found these a type of xenia--->Sarcothelia edmondsoni (family xenidae), im leaning towards this, I have run LFS for 6-7 years now and I have seen many many clove polyps, but never nothing like this...Im gonna keep digging a little on them...Clove polyps say they are 1/4 inch each polyp. Mine are smaller than that by far...

tippMANn98 · 08-22-2007, 09:16 AM

Well, I have been trying and trying to get a White-Ray Goby(yashia?) but with no luck, or no luck in the future....soooooo I bought a nice Yellow Watchman for my pistol shrimp....Well, I have never had such a problem with blennies until yesterday, He viciously attacked my new addition, even with food present, and the lights off!! He drug the watchman around by the tail and so forth. The little watchman is a tough one though, to my amazement he was still alive this morning, though very battered looking like he came home from a bar fight, but alive and breathing regularly! So we will see if he can overcome the wrath of the Klausewitz!!!

tippMANn98 · 08-23-2007, 08:48 AM

Well, another day has passed, That little watchman is really tough!! Hes still alive, fins not looking so good. He doesnt stay near the bottom or in a cave, he hangs out on the front glass, that the blenny's prime area.....we will see...

tippMANn98 · 08-24-2007, 09:10 AM

The watchman goby has ceased to exist......

I dont know what im gonna do about that blenny. I think im gonna make him a "personal" box, just temporary for a couple of days while I acclimate the next "new guy", any body have any good ideas WITHOUT setting up a new tank?? I dont want to get rid of my blenny as I will probably never find one like it again!

rebekwl · 08-24-2007, 05:09 PM

Sorry to hear about your watchman

I don't have any suggestions other than setting up a new tank. You don't have a sump right???

Craig Manoukian · 08-24-2007, 05:09 PM

With a fish, the blenny, that territorial and dominant, your 29 is probably too small for any other fish.

tippMANn98 · 08-27-2007, 11:12 AM

Never had such a problem with blennies before, I think im gonna try it one more time....If it doesnt work, I guess my poor poor pistol shrimp will have to try to live on his own....I hope he will be ok without a symbiont....

Here are some of the blue polyps and the cut/ripped ricordea that I had last week...they are looking good

Rics:All by itself w/neon goby

NICE AND BLUE!

The evil blenny is sooooo photogenic!!!

Craig Manoukian · 08-27-2007, 11:29 AM

tippMANn98 · 08-28-2007, 10:23 AM

here is a really good pic of those cut rics...im soooooo happy that they are both ok...and doing really really good!!!
