@Tremayn ta dude I remember some of your advise and thank you for the help!!

Cool man! Glad I helped

 

[Tobes]

The funny thing is I would buy those tomorrow seriously I would the people that know would know I would drive to where ever to get those but the problem is WE DONT HAVE that out here in JHB - Or not at the normal places I have seen.... thats what I wanted my tank to look like from the beginning.

I saw some at Dorry pets a week ago

Phone first, incase they all sold out - unless you wanna go anyway

 

[Tobes]

The ones they had look more like these, but in different colours. There was a nice blue and pink/red one...

 

[mytank]

@Tobes - how do these work they live \ require substrate? What to they live off filter feeders?

 

[dallasg]

they are lps, so medium light on the substrate is perfect, they do photosythesize and dont need much more, you can feed them some frozen food 1 or 2 times a week

 

[Tobes]

Yip, LPS corals. Need medium light and medium flow to prevent the soft fresh from being torn off the skeleton. Best to put them on the substrate so that their delicate skin does not get damaged against sharp rocks. After lights out they will show some small tentacles, so this would be the best time to feed them some brine shrimp or other type frozen food like grated hake, etc. Small pieces only, twice a week or so like Dallas said. The red ones are from deeper water.

@Tobes got to confess I just drove there and bough seven different one of those and a pin cushion

Also got 100l of salt to do my weekly water change

 

[Tobes]

I hope I didn't cause your budget to take a big knock

Glad you got sorted, now post pics as soon as they settled in

 

[mytank]

Let them settle then I will take pics also got reef pearls for them. 5iry pets nice stuff

 

[mytank]

Here we go Pin cushion is still sulking - all cell phone camera but better than nothing

He is also sulking cause he bubble out very nicely.....

Sulking Pin

and who's tank can be complete with out these guys popping up everywhere

Other thing, this fire shrimp is HUGE he has shed his skin 3 times in two weeks, I noticed some of the "peppermint shrimp" skins on the flow pump as well. Don't know if this is a good or bad thing.....

 

[Tobes]

It was over night .... Put him in, he sulked and next morning when the lights came out he was 80% out by the time I got home he was in full tilt

UPDATE to tank

Here we go, busy getting the GF some series so the line is slow I'll post as they upload

First up little scooter he is a nifty little bugger in the LFS saw him eat pellets now in my tank he is all over the rocks and refuses to eat the pellets, prob because there is enough in the tank to keep him full
