He (I’m speculating intercourse in accordance with the quantity of dorsal spots) has never seemed to be really competitive after all, staying near to my banded goby of all occasions

Wrasse type/safety and carpet anemone move Hello again Anthony Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I’ve had a minor op on my foot and only just come back to work. In my last e-mail I was asking about a Lawnmower Blenny and the fish it would have to live with in my two tanks, the gist of the e-mail and my return response is this: [regarding algae control] << I know about the skimming but I have a problem in getting a hang on type to fit my tank which has glass ledges 6" wide each end as well as front and back ledges of 2" plus no room for a sump! Else, you can use a sump model and pump from the display to an upstream vessel like a refugium with a skimmer and them let the water overflow back down to the display> I have an adapted sea clone that came with the tank (2nd hand) and the glass was broken at the top to accommodate the SC.

I plan to get a new tank eventually but not yet. The other tank is newish but not reef ready and I bought a prism skimmer for 140 pounds sterling before I found your site! I do have concern that the Green Bird (? After >that, I have seen them fed 4″ crayfish which they smash to pieces >off the rocks. Do consider removing in time. Kindly, Anthony> << I think my Wrasse is a male Thalassoma lunare , mainly green with slight flecks of blue on the body and blue/red markings on his face, he also has a yellow tail. He is very active, nosey and a fast swimmer but I haven't seen him be aggressive towards anything else in the tank.

Lacking replacement the fresh new wrasse with a smaller sized adaptation otherwise a good additional seafood totally, what do you highly recommend I really do in order to acquire this obvious growing hazard?

Try he fully grown during the eight” and can the guy are still a good guy within my container? Lunare wrasses try magnificently robust and delightful fishes although is infamously competitive. I have seen specimens more than 30cm enough time> I’m most keen on him due to their profile! We call Nasos “Naso” or “lipstick” tang> exploit looks identical to a Acanthurus Lineatus (Pajama surgeon) oh dear! Easy to supply however, difficult to keep real time to your a captive diet for the majority. And need highest long tanks which have very strong water direction and you may they may be a bit competitive> As i have your desire may i inquire about my personal Carpeting anemone’s lso are construction? I had to utilize some stress to make your so that wade however, I really don’t consider I busted your by any means datingranking.net/nl/down-dating-overzicht/ with the exception of fret.

What should I do if anything? If it continues for weeks, consider that more light or water flow may be needed> How can you move a carpet without hurting/stressing him ? Also I bought 1 marine white and 1 actinic fluorescent lights for him but am wondering if this is enough light even though it is a small tank. Jenny

Canary Wrasse Woes Bob (Steve), Nice to talk to you again. I have had some fairly good success with my reef tank (thanks in part to your assistance). I now find myself in a rather interesting problem. All reports I have read, people I have talked to, and internet sites visited (including yours), list the Canary Wrasse as fish and reef safe. Until recently, I have never had any problems with mine. This morning I noticed him nipping at my star polyps and chasing my banded goby. Have you heard of or noticed this type of behavior before in a canary wrasse? Is it possible that this is as a result of finally feeling comfortable in the tank (he has now been in the tank for about a month), and being close to full size, trying to establish dominance in the tank? Sincerely, Mark
