First time it happened was with a Colorado Sunburst. I sent it to a guy and then a week later he sends me a picture of two! I was like... Uh... You just made your money back... Nice! Then cried a bit when nobody was looking. [emoji29]

Wouldn't be that hard to induce stress, but I get that it feels unnatural and maybe a bit wrong. A big part may just be the size, you could sell them younger. The flip side is you hold them to know they are healthy.

Sadly, making the most $$$ often contradicts what feels right. Try to find your own path.

p.s I stopped Flatworm Stop the week he arrived, it may tick him off. Changes like that plus shipping plus new tank is what's called a 'rough day in Nem world'

I've been told by my BTA buddies to sell a bit smaller. They ship better and typically don't split even when slightly stressed. That'll help them survive a bit better than immediately splitting in people's tanks and having to recover from that process.

How do you like flatworm stop?

At the beginning of the year, I had a big outbreak of standard brown flatworms. I started Flatworm Stop and added a Coris wrasses, within a month they were almost wiped out. The purple stylo was always a fast grower, but most of the other's (acro + monti's) growth was stagnant the previous months. Things really improved. Growth and color improved across the board. The tank was healthy before, lots of coralline, but things went up a notch.

The credit probably belongs entirely to the Yellow Coris wrasse, but since it was working, I decided to stick with it.

On day 3 of the nem, I added a dose, and he disappeared into the rock for two days. I stopped dosing. It could have been a coincidence, but since he's been happy, I haven't restarted.

Those are interesting observations with flatworm stop. I should start dosing some in a small bucket whenever I wamt my nems to split. [emoji16]

Vibrant or Flatworm Stop might just be the stress they need

I can't keep nems, something I run in the tanks, long story.
I had a gorgeous animal, about 6 months in I had a small tank crash / episode.
I figured out what it was and sorted it in a couple of days, the nem split!
Stressing nems in almost any way makes them go defensive and split, a couple of days in the semi dark and then lights back on again will do it?
I couldn't do it just to make a buck, as above you do have 2 weaker animals!

I wanted to plug the latest BRS video where they interview WWC about their "method" for maitaining their 900G tank.

It is *really* fascinating to me to watch BRS evolve. From BRS160, to becoming huge Triton fanboys, to the total tank failures in ULM series, and now moving on to the new "BRS/WWC method".

BRS can't be completely forthcoming, so watching what they do and where they're going is sometimes the most telling.

 
I've been using what I think is the KZ version of Red Sea's Reef Energy: Pohl's Coral Vitalizer + Amino Acids Concentrate. No refrigeration required + only 3 drops of each every night.

I feel the Wellso is doing better, great response from the feeder tentacles. I have had to dose a bit of PO4, so more than one thing changed. I'm not sure the hammers + wellso were getting everything they needed from LRS + Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast + occasional Reef Roids/Reef Chili. Which seems a bit ridiculous as I write that, yet I do feel the hammers + wellso are happier.

I'll post random coral pictures later this weekend
