Re: Keeping wild saltwater fish

I'm just gonna leave this to go. It looks like a good debate on how hard cleaner wrasse are to keep. I've never kept tropical saltwater fish in my life, but I have kept estuarine species.

Re: Keeping wild saltwater fish

I'm mainly catching Austflakekento4 fish where I live. You can catch morays, wrasses, and some surgeon fishes that you find in pet stores too. I've kept boarfish, small sea mullet, and a couple of snails I found on the shore. Sorry about my punctuation, I'm not the best typist.

Re: Brain coral dying overnight, need help

Thanks felinxo, I appreciate the advice. Turns out I found the real culprit - one of my camel shrimp decided to start munching on the Favia. I caught it red-handed, or should I say, red-clawed.

Spent about 8 hours and built six different traps before finally catching both of them and removing them ...

Brain coral dying overnight, need help

Hey RC, I'm really in a bind here. My LPS frag was doing great, growing like crazy and spreading onto the host LR, but now it's got this weird milky white stuff on it, with some areas that look bleached out, and it's shrunk massively - all in under 12 hours. I've got my water parameters, stock list ...
