It will eat both tyhpes of anemones, and mine have not eaten corals.

What are you feeding them?

If I were you I would use 10K bulbs, not 20K. Much better PAR. I would also check out the company Ocean Motions for water circulation devices.

Danny Ramirez and me built a 300-gallon plywood tank years ago. I suggest you use GPX plywood, and cover the inside with fiberglass and then paint with epoxy.

Aside from expensive professional kits Deltec makes IMO the most accurate at low range -- you want your PO4 below .05-ppm.

You're as close as I got. According to the biologist who photographed it, it is Scorpaenopsis species.

We need the actual Latin name; too easy otherwise.

You need to post this in the breeder's forum at http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=46

Gravity will work as a feed to your skimmer -- water volume will depend mostly on the diameter of the return from upstairs. I did this in the past.

It is not a fish and should therefore be called a seastar. :lol:

Shimlock/Jones who photographed it identified it as Doryrhamphus pessuliferus

Excellent; you're right of course. :D

Can't answer that without knowing the depth of the water, type, wattage, color temperature of the bulbs, number of bulbs, height of bulbs above water surface, etc. If you give us more information we can give you more info about photo-period.

With a new tank, once the lights go on you need to have an army of snails and crabs to control the diatoms and algae, I'd say a combination of one to a gallon of water. This will save you algae problems in the future.

I kept a A. frenatus for 24 years.
