They are looking absolutely lovely! One of the Caulerpa chemnitzia specimens went sexual and got sucked into my Nero 5 (See here) but otherwise the other macroalgae (including my other C. chemnitzia specimen) are healthy and growing. I plan to obtain some more soon!
Agreed! Sorry for the confusion with the Gulf Live Sand earlier (post #22 on this thread). My Mysids have become so bold! Now, they don’t mind venturing into the light and the water column!
Yup, macroalgae only (otherwise, I might add some other odd organisms, but no coral).
The Stippled clingfish or Caribbean black clingfish (Gobiesox punctulatus) makes its way onto LiveAquaria's Diver's Den occasionally. It is misidentified as Arcos rubiginosus on the site.
I always thought those two fish looked insane! I have heard they might decimate my micro-crustacean population, however. What is your experience?
With a 40 gallon, I wouldn’t think so, especially if you’re dosing phyto. I’m looking at my 35 gallon that has a possum wrasse and the glass is covered with pods and amphipods. Here’s a picture of the pink-streaked. The possum is impossible to photograph haha.
A while back, I was considering a Yellow clown goby (Gobiodon okinawa), though they are so small, and a clingfish (on my stocking list) might be able to consume one. The Citrin clown goby sounds like a better choice.
Agreed! Maybe it’s the lack of intense actinic lights.
Oh wow, I didn't know the black clingfish could be a potential issue. I thought they were supposed to be pretty peaceful and timid, I was considering getting one as well.
