Any plans to add a pom-pom crab?

Wow love the green plate!! Need to get one myself!

Thanks, I am considering fragging it when it arrives and splitting it between my tanks, bit of added insurance. I do love Green Corals.

Any plans to add a pom-pom crab?

Depends on what my LFS can get, last one I saw was using Aiptasia as it's Poms so that's currently a No. Might go for Sexy Shrimp Trio again, they were cute before I crashed the tank. Want to see if I can get a Yellow CLown Goby or Trimma Cana to go in here

There is a lot of discussion about asterinas, in my experience the blue and black ones can / may eat corals.

 

[Katrina71]

I think they all can really. Recently saw a population explosion in my tank, and they decided they liked to graze on some.

I have seen a lot of talk about that recently, I did lose Zoas at the same time as having loads of the White Stars in my tank a while back. But I think they were eating an already damaged or weakened Zoa Colony

Seems to be working towards my glass at the moment, can see a tiny little trail of white through the small Colarrine patches.

Will continue to watch it and remove if it annoys me, might see if I can pick up a Hermit at my LFS at lunch

I keep mine to thin out coralline, but this is the first population explosion I've had. I think the fish eggs I've been feeding put them in the mood.

Starting to get some algae in the tank now, which is nice. Will have to get that Cerith some help over the weekend

My final addition of the year. I forgot that Christmas is tomorrow so can't add to the Pico Tank. So currently in my fledgling 5.5g Cube at home.

So I have a blue polyp acropora at the front, green plating montipora! So so green, even in above lights off shot and finally German Blue Polyp Digitata. Multiple frags due to posting. Putty and frag plugs?

 

[Ratvan]

Oh yes

 

[najer]

Oh yes

I would have bought that, great shape.

Thanks. Going for cheap and colourful. Got the plate for £20. Really like Green Montipora they got really nice shape and colour and seem to be overlooked a lot. IMO

 

[Ratvan]

So back to work, back to the Pico. Little untidy, lots of Cyano Algae but no real losses
