Re: My Tiny Ocean - Gur's RSM 250 - Dinner Time Video (Time Lapse)

Dinner time.
Tonight Chef's special - sliced raw shrimp.

Dinner Guests:
1. Tube Anemone (Ceriathus sp)
2. Elegance Coral (Catalaphyllia Jardinei)
3. Open Brain Coral (Trachyphyllia Radiata)
4. Acan Coral (Acanthastrea Lordhowensis)

I used Time Lapse for the video to demonstrate the magic of these creatures.

I suggest watching it in HD full-screen and wait for the Acan in the end.

Great video and pictures!

I hope the weeds (xenia) don't overtake the tank, keep them isolated from everything else if you can in case you ever want to get them out you can just remove the rock they are on. I'm been trying to get them out of my tank for 3 years now LOL. Have fun!

I've been warned about the Xenia, just couldn't resist having it, the kids are crazy about the motion... it's isolated from the rocks, I want it to grow on the glass...

Man I wish I'd have never added Xenia. Can't kill it. Seriously.

No, mine got out of hand before I learned about it. It is sold everywhere over here as a starter coral and many learn to late how it grows. I tried to cut it back or peel it off the rocks but the catch is if there is ANY skin left on the rock or any small piece gets loose to float around your tank it will pop up in what ever place it lands. I've even had in grow in my sand. To get it off by peeling you have to wait till it gets larger or you will just strip the stalk into pieces and spread it. See how it works/grows in your tank but I'd keep it isolated and don't try to trim it back till your sure you want it. Good luck with it!
