Seahorses are (finally) on the way!

[alliecat]

I have had my 20g set aside for seahorses for months as my lfs has had a tough time getting ahold of some. Finally have some h. Erectus on the way! A few last adjustments however need to be done before the horses. Currently in the tank I have a gramma, a disfigured ocellaris (has a bent back, healthy yet swims awkwardly) and a coral banded shrimp. Was planning on moving inhabitants to my 55 reef however I'm now having concerns. I have an ocellaris currently in there hosting a bta- I'm wondering if she'll hurt the deformed one? I also have a Valentini who has been reef safe (have had him a little over a year) and has not bothered and of my inverts/corals- should the (very large, very aggressive) coral banded be fine? The gramma I'm thinking will be fine in either tank. Basically what I'm wondering is who should go where...

Congrats on the seahorses!
Not sure about the clowns. The gramma should be fine.

Yea maybe I'll leave the crippled clown in the 20. I don't think he poses a threat to the seahorses and I don't want to risk the normal one hurting him

The royal gramma and clown should be OK with the seahorses. I would not risk keeping the coral banded with seahorses. I am considering moving my peppermint shrimp out of my seahorse tank. I don't like how greedy it is.

Yea my coral banded is a jerk. I think he should be able to hold his own with my puffer lol

Seahorses weren't on this order... I guess the supplier wasn't sure which color we wanted. Didn't know there was much of a color choice with h. Erectus. Maybe the supplier has h. Kuda and they just think it's erectus.... Well until next time...
