New Reefers 55 gallon Reef Experiment

cool, lemme look those up, are they sand dwellers, or rock? my sandbed is kindove narrow

Tank Positioning: Position on the substrate in the bottom of the tank in a low to moderate water flow area if intense lighting is provided. Otherwise position higher up in the tank in a secure location where it is not in danger of falling..

hmm, i could put it on sand bed, but im not sure about intense lighting. theres a nice open spot in the middle of my tank like 6" from water line..?

T. derasa come from deeper waters than both the T. crocea and T. maxima. They prefer lower light levels. They are substrate dwellers.

cool, im going to make a few calls tomorrow. it seems that no online vendors have deresas. oh well, thats $40 to a more colorful clam.

NEVER EVER BUY ONYX NASSARIOUS SNAILS! ! !
first of all i thought they were sand dwellers, well half of mine are. the other half like my glass. these things are so annoying. they get right infront of my powerhead with their cone shaped shells. and i hear this non stop clicking noise because the current from the PH makes the shell tap on the glass. tap, tap, tap...

some of my snails would do this. my solution knock them off lol. my dersea is about 3.5-4in (he grows fast) he opens as wide as he is long lol. he is also on my sandbed. another is he looks more purple with purple mixed in his brown from a side view and from top view the purple is green!

Mike is talking with the livestock manager, and will get back to me no laterthat wednes day with what to do.


My dad was gonna trash it, so i ecided to see what happens. it wasnt open in his tank, so dont say my tank is not SPS friendly yet. lol

These grew so much, and i just havent payed any attention to them


My big shroom produced 4 baby, and that was jus the top half.

the "sps" looks like a gorgonian. it could a np coral so you should feed it meaty foods and see if that helps. many gorgs are np

[new reefer 03]

it has SPS like polys, im fxng to blow it off because i think it has a film of algae on it keeping it from opening up
