reef Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Do I see a black and white butterflyfish? Does it munch any of your corals? I think what you see is a Moorish idol. Hard to keep, but not had any major issues with them other than my crab killing one some time ago. do you still have your regal? I still have the regal in my sump tank. cant decide if i should put him in as the majestic is a risk. Still have a black tang to go in but have to remove the yellow tangs so that they dont kill him. Will remove the yellows and then put them back in at the same time as the black tang. Taken me two years to get a black tang so i dont want any issues as at over $600 fish it gets a bit expensive to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I forgot to mention i have a mantis shrimp in my tank, its green and about a inch long. Seen him going in a small hole and closing it up. Hopefully he wont touch my fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Welcome JDM... if you are looking at a marine tank then you had better have a fat cheque book. I though owning a boat was bad but this marine tank bussines is ridicules. Oh and I no longer own a boat. Yes Reef tank is increadable in real life.... in a legue of it's own. Unfortunitly my wife perfers a house than a tank like reefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks for the info duke, I did have a black tang a few years ago but it dropped dead one day for some reason. They are hard to get and there is only two in the country. I think only 3 have ever came in and i have had two of them.
