New pic and my sea pen

[Germanman]

yes i know sea pens need special care and have like 89% mortality rate but ur talking to the guy with sea horses doing well for over 2 years in his reef and the guy who has kept a cleaner wrasse healthy for a few months now. i like challenges and i never try to hurt animals and i have a lot of experience as well as im working at my double masters right now in zoology and aquatic sciences. so instead of saying it will die wish me luck and understand that i know what i am doing and i have researched for months and have gotten several opinions for specialist and my professors on zoology and marine bio. it is in a 12.5 inch pvc pipe filled with fine sand and it had buried itself already and come back out to feed two time since i got it yesterday.
this isnt for negative feed back but just for sharing my new project

[Germanman]

looking good
what did you say you had again that was your "trick up your sleeve"?
i would have thought it being in a DSB, but even miracle mud somewhere.... not up on your live rock
anyways, good luck with it. make sure to let us know how it turns out.


PS: you should not look at these things as a "challenge"
PPS: happy now? heh heh

 

[Germanman]

lol yes...and the mud is to messy lol....and its in sand just hidden sand
did u expect me to raze my sand bed up to my sea anemone? im sure the clown would enjoy his new beach front property though...lol

Cheer up, I checked out your blog and links. What extra care and conditions do you think are neccessary for a sea pen? Special feeding? Lighting?

no one is to sure on the exact food so im going to try out all the different ones i have i noticed that the coral plankton and phytoplankton make him open up though. right now hes closed though. it seems to be more night orientated and most arnt photosynthetic.
