Wrasse type/safety and carpet anemone move Hello again Anthony Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I’ve had a minor op on my foot and only just come back to work. In my last e-mail I was asking about a Lawnmower Blenny and the fish it would have to live with in my two tanks, the gist of the e-mail and my return response is this: [regarding algae control] << I know about the skimming but I have a problem in getting a hang on type to fit my tank which has glass ledges 6" wide each end as well as front and back ledges of 2" plus no room for a sump! Else, you can use a sump model and pump from the display to an upstream vessel like a refugium with a skimmer and them let the water overflow back down to the display> I have an adapted sea clone that came with the tank (2nd hand) and the glass was broken at the top to accommodate the SC.
I plan to get a new tank eventually but not yet. The other tank is newish but not reef ready and I bought a prism skimmer for 140 pounds sterling before I found your site! I do have concern that the Green Bird (? After >that, I have seen them fed 4″ crayfish which they smash to pieces >off the rocks. Do consider removing in time. Kindly, Anthony> << I think my Wrasse is a male Thalassoma lunare , mainly green with slight flecks of blue on the body and blue/red markings on his face, he also has a yellow tail. He is very active, nosey and a fast swimmer but I haven't seen him be aggressive towards anything else in the tank.
Is the guy mature at the seven” and will the guy are a beneficial man within my container? Lunare wrasses is actually splendidly sturdy and beautiful fishes nevertheless the is notoriously aggressive. I have seen specimens over 30cm much time> I’m extremely attracted to him because of their profile! I call Nasos “Naso” otherwise “lipstick” tang> mine appears just like an effective Acanthurus Lineatus (Pajama physician) oh dear! Simple to feed but tough to keep live to your an attentive diet for many. Plus needs large enough time tanks which have quite strong water movement and they are some aggressive> Once i have your attention can i inquire about my personal Carpet anemone’s lso are construction? I’d to utilize some tension to force your to let go however, I do not imagine I busted him at all apart from be concerned.
What should I do if anything? If it continues for weeks, consider that more light or water flow may be needed> How can you move a carpet without hurting/stressing him ? Also I bought 1 marine white and 1 actinic fluorescent lights for him but am wondering if this is enough light even though it is a small tank. Jenny Canary Wrasse Woes Bob (Steve),
