Live rock will start your cycle . Because of the sensitive nature of these creatures you should wait to add snails and hermits or anything for that matter it is painful for them to go through a cycle JMHO

Yes if you get any corals they need light to survive . However this will quickly fuel any bad algea that you get through the cycle such as green hair , cyno and diatoms .....JMHO :mrgreen:

I would still leave the lights off during the cycle other than to peek JMHO :mrgreen:

Ed if he did Im gonna slap ya :bash: :mrgreen: (Iam just kidding Ed )

Mine if fact did grow a new crown ......... she could take it out if she can get to it they wont harm the tank if left in but they do look creepy ...........As for telling just watch to see if you see a "slug" like thing in a few days she can very lightly pinch the tube to see if she feels him...

He is in fact a hippocampus reidi Ed that is my fear but we are going to watch him closely :mrgreen:

Nope let it go . Keep the water quality HIGH and pristine in a few weeks it should start to show a new smaller crown ,do keep an eye on it to make sure he is a live . Dont pick at it and stress it or it may move from the tube that usually means that they are very unhappy and could die . Once...

I would just get the ammount of LR that you need adding later will prolong your cycle . Just remember that when it is time for corals they will usually come attached to plugs and pieces of live rock ..........If the live rock has any corals on it they may be fine but you dont want to run the...

Yes they can sting they are a kind of jelly fish they usually pose no harm to the tank unless you have dwarf seahorses usually they will just go away however if they bother you go to www.seahorses.org you should be able to find something on how to rid them ,HTH :mrgreen:

Nope he is trained to eat mysis shrimp tho I sure that he is eating it or the pods in the tank :mrgreen:

One other thing I forgot to say Aromano is that we also shut the pumps off at feeding time . Thanks for the compliments folks :mrgreen:

I am not sure if the emrald crabs would pick at them or not . She could feed them photo but very little , she should not need to feed them if she is doing proper water changes. Perameters are good try to get the NitrAtes below 25 10-15 range they are up but not that high above 25 you will start...

Just keeping water quailty high and overfiltering. Captive bred are the hardiest of all and acclimate to all sorts of enviroments :mrgreen:

Good job Ed I am proud of you :mrgreen:

All should be ok just monitor him . That is pretty much all you can do . Have her have water at the ready for a water change should the perameters indicate. Other wise jus watch . He could be stressed from the move he had they can be sensitive to things we just dont see or understand keep us...

Reefman I am not real well versed but perhaps target feed him and possibly remove the crabs I hope it is not "brown jelly" disease maybe post to wet web to see if they have seen this before. Perhaps move it to a shady area as the MH may be too much for him Red Open Brain being eaten...

It may be just the current . Mine also does that when he is feeding(I think he is feeding) just keep the water clean and pristine , he may also be ready to "molt" his feathers , if this is the case they may grow back What are her tank stats inhibitants perameters temp
