Loving the elegance, a story. Pt. 2.
Loving the elegance. A story.
They love the elegance coral.
I have 3 hammers in my reef. All different sizes, shapes and colors.
Duncans, softies, and mushrooms.
Tree coral, acans, and elegance.
Sunny and Cher. Slowly growing, slowly getting more bold. My first two fish in this tank, a year later.
Chiquita the third. Again, add a screen top to your tank.
Maui is still going strong.
On June 1st my reef turned a year old! Here’s what I’ve learned my first year of reefing:
- take it slow. Don’t expect immediate results and consistency is key.
- there’s no perfect answer to everything. Every tank is different.
- you will make all the mistakes, but learn from them.
- Algae is forever.
- your tank = your responsibility= your hard work.
- put a damn screen on top of your tank, or don’t get attached to any of your fish.
- let your tank mature before getting an anemone.
- invest in good equipment: lights, wave makers, skimmers. Your corals will thank you.
- and lastly: make time to appreciate your tank. If you are putting in so much effort and money and are not spending time enjoying that effort, what’s the point?
Bluespotted Ribbontail Ray | Taeniura lymma
“These foragers dig in the sand, hunting shallow sand-dwelling animals like shrimp and crabs. Unlike most rays, blue spotted ribbontail rays will rarely bury themselves completely, though they sometimes will to ambush prey or when they migrate in large groups to shallow, sandy areas.
This is a species that prefers to be left alone and are far more likely to swim away from a fight. The blue spots are meant to tell predators and other animals to stay away. If cornered they can lash out with the poisoned barb on the end of their tails, and that venom can prove fatal to many species, including humans. (Source)
Tangs, also known as surgeonfish because of the sharp scalpel they wield near the end of their tail, which are actually modified scale.
These are used for defense, tang keepers should be take care when handling.
All tangs are mainly herbivores, in the wild they graze for algae all day, in the aquarium they can be fed nori (dried seaweed) or blanched vegetables. Most food are accepted too. They will keep the reef tank clean of algae~
