He's a model citizen, and of now he's even left the crabs and snails alone...however I did take my 2 year old cleaner to work and put him in the 150 gallon display I'm setting up there.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Sorry I was inactive for so long!

I have a harlq tusk also in my tank, he ate my starfish last week and a couple of my emerald crabs... But he is a terrific fish in the reef with others...

Newt · 08-01-2006, 11:14 PM

At this point I'm not concerned the least if he eats all of my hermit crabs/emeralds/hitchhikers, the fish I've lost in the tank thus far were all gobies that hid in holes in the LR at night, so I assume a crab of some kind got them.

Let em eat those crabs ..that harlequin tusk is prob my favorite fish ..my tank is too small for em ..if i ever get a bigger tank...yeah.

Beautiful tank and pics. It has been a long time. I can see lots of progress on the tank and it looks great!
Good luck with the new job. We are glad you are going to be able to be around more.

It's been a while since an update, I hope to start becoming more active again and again on this forum.

This week after being gone for new years I came home to find my tank a complete mess. I'm not sure what went wrong while I was gone for two days, but my tank crashed, crashed hard...

I'm guessing it was the Xenia, because I don't have really any left. Everything seemed to go downhill really fast. I lost most of my corals, and all of my fish but the female tomato clown.

I've done two large water changes this week. I'll be stripping the liverock out of the tank this next week and scrub any leftover xenia off. The tank itself I'll be saving for African Cichlids in my future fishroom, and I plan on buying a RR 90 gallon to replace the tank. The 90 will most likely just be a FOWLR any possibly a reef over a course of time.

Sorry to hear that...

Glad to hear your spirit wasn't broken... good luck!

Soft coral palytoxins can/did wreak havoc on your tank. Karma for hanging in there! Sorry for your losses!

Those were my thoughts, because everything seemed to go so quickly. I'll never put xenia in a tank again, not only due to what happened, but I'm very good at propagating it. LOL Thanks Craig!

Sorry for your losses but glad you have not lost the reefing spirit. I am looking forward to pics of the new tank.

billyr98 · 01-05-2007, 09:55 AM

Glad you are in good spirits... Xenia is a crazy coral.. I can't even kill it in my tank, just keeps reappearing - its like my own aiptasia
