I’d love a frag! Haven’t picked out any zoas for my tank yet

Captive bred coral is a good thing lol! Question: if you start with just one frag, will it be capable of spawning on its own? Or would you need a male and female? I’m a bit ignorant on coral spawning

Yep, thats what I did! Makes it a lot easier to see them when they cant hide

From what I’ve heard, yes, but it can take a long time, up to 6 months. I’ve also read that they can eat a couple other corals, maybe a certain kind of chalice if I am remembering correctly

I completely agree

I guess infestation is really subjective, but I’ve only had them since the swap, so I dont think their numbers can be at very high levels yet. We’ll see

I understood that, and I understand the thought process, I just dont agree with that. I’ve been seeing a max of 2 at any point in time when inspecting my tank/montis, have killed a total of 5 now

Just to add some recent experience I’ve had lately, back when I had a 40B, I thought I didnt really have many options for herbivores, that would really be pushing it for a kole tang,Though I guess some blennys could be an option. I never thought about saltwater mollies. The molly I got for my...

I hope not! But I almost certainly do. The one I took a picture of was the largest and clearly a nudi, next 2 were smaller but also clearly a nudi. Everything else I have seen have been small white dots, so I’m not sure if they are nudis or if I’m just paranoid lmao. I’ll keep an eye out and...

Lmao, its funny how much crossover there is between our tanks and stds. I think this is a very fair guideline

Interesting! The very first one I found on the glass, I dropped it in my dip and it immediately curled up and stopped moving, I guess I assumed it was dead. I also made my dip very strong, not sure if there is a danger zone with potassium chloride. When I dipped last night. I’m pretty sure I saw...

Also, whats the norm for discussing pests acquired from fellow hobbyists? Are people normally accepting if you reach out to them? Because I think I know who I got them from, but I dont want to seem like a dick if I’m wrong. And surely they wouldnt know right? I wouldnt feel good about giving out...

Yeah, I saw a brs interview with the owner of WWC, and he said it was the number 1 worst pest, toss out everything but one small frag, seal up the crevices with super glue, then dip monday, wednesday, friday. I’ve been watching my montis closely, morning either before or right after lights come...

Just got my frag plugs, and Nathan HOOKED ME UP with some aminos as well! Absolutely phenomenal customer service

Dipped again tonight, found one nudi, this time on a monti that I havent seen them on yet, dip wiped em out. Decided to glue all of the crevices on the montis, so they have no where to hide now

Placed an order with Nathan yesterday, was shipped out today and arrived very quickly, accidentally sent me the wrong plugs, but now he sent out the right ones free of charge! Thats awesome! I really like how the pods come with phyto, thats really cool

It will be interesting to see how everything balances out when I need to start dosing all for reef. Honestly, might be quite awhile, since my water changes will keep on buffering it towards these higher levels

Picked up a smaller scopas tang today, also, my calcium reagent and hanna alk tester came in today. Parameters were higher than expected, 463 calcium, 11.7 dkh. Think I want to shoot for 420 and 9. Frags are still small, so I think it will be a minute before they bring the parameters down

Thanks for the tips! This is what I was looking for!

I van contribute some clove polyps, should have other stuff grown out by then as well. Also should have my nudibranch situation handled by then
