Shame, but at the risk of sounding harsh, the dumbass brought it on himself! Glad there is some positive to it though.

Maybe his not timid maybe the copperband was digging around in the crevis and the wrasse jumped him from behind and wedged him in there :)

Shame he died. They are nice lookin fish.

How are the frags going?

Yeah I have to admit it was a pretty retarded thing to do!

Haha yeah the wrasse had been plotting his attack!
The blue frags are still bright, the green one is faded a bit. No polyps on any of them.

 

[Sarg]

At least they have kept there colour! Did you read that acro al link I put in the acro al pm? From memory it said something in there about good colour but no polyp extension.

 

[Buddy]

Yep I dont think I have enough flow in there. Its hard to get strong flow in there without blasting the crap out of eveything. They are just gonna have to wait till the upgrade ;)

How are yours going, @Sarg?

 

[Sarg]

A healthy dullish sort of brown lol They have lost a bit of colour but have there polyps out.

Sorry to hear it didn't make it Luke, they are beautiful fish but that one must have been really eager to get at something or a bit thick :(

Here is the latest FTS after I had to remove everything to free the copperband. I left out a 5kg rock from the right hand side because I couldnt be bothered re stacking it all! Excuse the crappy pic it was just a quick one!

i like the scape! those green...i think they are called duncans?? they look awesome!

 

[Buddy]

Yep two different duncans there. They are still pissed off a bit because of the clowns.

 

[Sarg]

I had never noticed those green duncans. I dont think I have ever seen one with green frills

The new scape looks good too!

 

[chimaera]

Have you had the duncans a while? I started with two 'different' types of duncans, one green and one a pinky colour ... now they are both identical!

 

[Buddy]

Yep I've had the normal ones over a year now, I got the green ones about 6 months ago.

I moved this tank last weekend but only about 5 mins up the road. All the fish are fine. Duncans fragged themselves lol. Squashed half of my little fungia but it has already recovered. The only loss was one of my hammers that never opened up after I moved it, started looking a bit feral today so I threw it before anything could spread... of course the most expensive hammer I had :rolleyes The sps are slowly fading, I hope they can hold on until the upgrade. I also have a scolly that has been slowly receding over the last couple of months. It is still feeding well so hopefully it makes it! The chiller has been going nuts this week with the warm weather, coming on a couple of times every hour except for early mornings.
If all goes to plan, the tank should be shut down in 2-3 weeks and everything transferred to the 6ft. I am thinking of keeping it running as a QT tank.

 

[Buddy]

Just remembered that I have had my clowns and stromb for over a year now :D

 

[Priscacara]

Cool, guess they like it in there!

 

[Antisven]

Is nice, high 5
