SteveA Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 care to write a little summary of that ? review it ? Fish sheltering in corals at night help to maintain water circulation round the inner branches of the coral, thus preventing the formation of stagnant areas.

wasp Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Ha Ha! Taking the Mickey Steve? The first paragraph of the article is a pretty good summary. It's a very interesting piece, I'm glad you posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 i dont think any fish will fit in the branches of my colonies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveA Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Several of my chromus sleep in the larger acro colonies and I think a couple of damsels do as well. My flame hawk also sleeps in an acro and I often get to see, just before the lights go out, it and one of the chromus squabling over who is going to have the best spot in that acro. Basically the chromus does not want to share it's coral and the hawk does not want to be kicked out. My stylophora has a largish (i.e. 2cm across shell) crab and I would immagine it would create a bit of water movement as well. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostface Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 surely most corals we have in tanks are both not large enough and are in consistant strong current that this dosent really apply..... wish i had acros so big that they blocked water flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveA Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Chromus in his acro. Not a very colourful coral, I know, but a happy one nevertheless. OR http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/CrromusInCoral.JPG Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
