Not reef tank related, but someone asked what was going on to the left of my tank, chameleons.

Xenia coral

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 12:47 AM PDT

Wondering what the best way to control Xenia coral growth before it gets out of control. I'm sure it's killed one branch of my Duncan coral and one of my zoas looks to on the verge.

Given it's growth rate, I doubt anyone will want frags of it. So not sure what the best option is. Any thoughts? The options I see being:

Frag and try rehome

Frag and try sell/give to LFS

Frag and bin it

That little white dot always makes it look like he’s giving me the side eye. He hosted that thing about 5 minutes after I put it in.

It’s dirty, old, and freshly became a sump. It ain’t much, but it’s my first large sump. I’m so ready to set up my 135g reef tank. The center part on this sump is a ~35g refugium.

Contest of the Dwarf Angels: Which One Should I Go With?

Posted: 26 Mar 2020 09:43 PM PDT

So, I want a dwarf angel as the centerpiece of my 85-gallon tank. It'll most likely be a reef tank with only some easy-to-keep species of soft corals, but I am also slightly tempted to go FOWLR.

I've done some research on dwarf angels, and I've found that like most fish they're collected from Indonesia and the Philippines. I'm quite concerned about the health of any species really because I've heard much about the extremely poor collection methods employed there, but I'm also curious as to whether the fact that they're from IND / PH should be a concern in and of itself.

Moving on, I have began by ruling out species that are widely known to be more difficult, or larger species. This includes the Collin's (too hard), Potter's (too hard), Orange (too hard), Lemonpeel (too hard), Eibli (too big), and Bicolor (too hard and too big) etc.

After narrowing down my list, here's what I have ended up with:

  1. Coral Beauty

  2. Half Black

  3. The pygmies (African Flameback, Brazilian Flameback, Atlantic Cherub, Pacific Pygmy, Fisher's)

  4. Rusty

  5. Flame

  6. Multicolor

All of these get up to 4 inches max. I'd like to select a species that can do at least 10 years if healthy and well cared for, that is hardy and suitable for a beginner, and can hopefully do well in a very new system. From what I've read sufficient / good algae growth with LR is recommended for all Centropyge, but I'm not sure how essential it is.

I'm aware all of these fish are semi-aggressive. My tanks mates for them will be a pair of common or Black and White Ocellaris clowns captive bred), a Royal Gramma or other basslet (preferably Swissguard or Yellow Assessor), a Yellow Watchman Goby + Pistol Shrimp combo, and 2-3 Talbot's or Azure Damsels.

My aquarium will have a mesh cover too.

I'd even appreciate it if you guys can give me a ranking of the hardiest Centropyges, and suggest alternatives.

*I know with Flames it's hit or miss. From what I've read their hardiness is quite dependent on the location they were collected.

*Biota Palau and ORA do the Coral Beauty, but I don't have access to those captive bred ones in China.

As for prices:

Cheap- Coral Beauty Half Black Pacific Pygmy Rusty

Moderate- Atlantic Cherub African Flameback Brazilian Flameback

Expensive- Multicolor Fisher's

I'll be starting my tank in Guangzhou, China, so I'll be buying from Chinese retailers.

After a year and a half, I woke up today and saw this! Sorry for terrible picture. This is before lights on.
