Small update-new denizens

Strombolini aka the Elephant

Can't do a full tank pic update as had to rearrange some corals and they are sulking. Why is it that whenever one moves a coral another one will get knocked off!-Murphy's Law or is it Firebird's Law:mad:

firebird, what type of shrimp was it - a bit hard to tell from your video??

firebird · Sep 26, 2011

peppy-I think he came to the end of his natural lifespan though

MTG · Sep 26, 2011

Are you sure he didn't shed and is hiding?

100%-I rescued his little body from the tank( and buried it)-have seen moults before.What alerted me to the fact that something was wrong was because he had his fave spot by the heater but would dance out to the front of the tank and get handfed when all the fish were fed. Then on that day nil appearance-found his body under some seaweed at the back of the tank

I will do if you want me too :Dbut I would not be telling the truth.

I have never had majano's but yours look very similar to the pictures available on the net.

Manjanos arnt as bad as aptasia, they don't seem to randomly reproduce like aptasia, ;),tanks looking great mate

And sadly, they sorta look cool. I had some awesome green ones on some live rock when I built my nano. Broke my heart removing them :(

thanks for the replies guys-I'm keeping him-I've set up a small tank just for him using LR and live sand from my display. So multitank syndrome looks as though it's hit again!:cool:
