All I ever feed is just New-Era flakes, haven't fed frozen food for a very long time.

I usually use my phone camera to see what I'm doing when i frag these pieces away from each other, but my life proof case on my phone broke so i haven't fragged these bits in a while

Only takes a few weeks and they've grown right into each other..

I guess it's not the worst problem although I do wish I had possibly a slightly larger rock work to put the blue stag, birdnest and green dallas on, wasn't planned very well and requires constant trimming to stop it looking messy with stung branches everywhere that usually end up growing cyano on the dead stung tips

Below is a pic of the blue stag and birdnest (when it was brown and green) at the size I got them in my previous tank probably a bit over a year ago, they were moved further apart once they started growing although still too close. Blue stag is now around 40+cm wide, back to front of the aquarium and almost at the water surface. The birdnest is around 20cm cubed at the moment. Last time I got slack the blue stag grew some branches into the back of the birdnest where I couldn't see, killed parts of the birdnest, encrusted and kept growing to the point I had to cut the stags branches and take the birdnest out of the tank to cut the parts of the blue stag from out of inside it

I've had the odd small fish that aren't great swimmers go missing, nice Rainfords goby and I won't try any dragonet species again. Most healthy fish that are good swimmers can usually get away from it. I've seen my wrasse swimming around with a few green gigantea tentacles stuck to his side, quite often sting marks on other fish that heal pretty quickly too.

My tang always had Sting marks when my clown were in my Crispa but now they are in my Gigantea he stays clear. I have seen several fish with sting marks on them but no fish lost to the gigantea yet but I have lost lots to my maxi mini's.

Yeah i've found the other Stichodactyla to be more sticky, Haddons, mini-maxis etc. Gigs aren't too bad comparatively lol
