No i dont have any hermit crabs, but i defenately need to get some. How many would you reccomend to start?? I was thinking maybe 20-30??Swimfins said:Have you got a bunch of hermit crabs in there? They'll clean up the brown stuff fast.

Acropora, Dead yes. Got them free, so i through them in. As for coraline, i had my local lfs scrape coraline from their tank into a bag full of water. I then dripped that water into my tank, hoping to spores will catch somewhere and spread. I did also get some frags, with orange and pink coraline, which i hope will catch and spread over time.Swimfins said:You can introduce coraline by buying frags that are attatched to pieces of rock with corraline on them. Or just wait until it shows up. If you have a good piece of rock, you can scrape it and let the spores be carried by the current. Growth takes awhle but eventually you see it. Coraline can come in alot of colors, lime green, yellow, pink, red, purple.
I imagine those are artificial or dead acropora in your tank? Nice.
Ahh, what timing. Blinky, it seems my Gobby has disapeered for the last 3 days. No idea where he is. He was active, eating, but reacently i havent seen him. do your gobbies do that??Blinky said:Mooch, the tank is looking great!
Your goby is a sixspot Valenciennea sexguttata, same type as my pair. They're loads of fun but do make a mess at times. I agree over time they can lose weight, these fish seem to need a huge amount of food to keep them fat. I use a pipette with a 24" piece of rigid tubing attached to inject mysis, brine, plankton, bloodworms, whatever the catch of the day is, under the sand for them to sift out. Mine are 2.5" and 3" and between them eat two cubes a day, easy.
