That's really a stellar tank. The corals selection and placement is beautiful and has a very natural look to it. Kudos.

Would you guys believe there are two 4ft (I think they are 4ft) moray eels in there too! A snowflake and a zebra.

lets not get too carried away the snowflake is just under 3. Biggest damn snowflake I ever saw though. I'm more proud of the two egg laying pairs of clowns. Maroons and true perks in the same tank.

I've never seen them completely out. Yeah yeah clowns...

Absolutely gorgeous apple. I have one and everytime someone that's knows what they are sees it, they think I'm crazy for keeping one. But I tell you what...I've put my little apple through quite a bit of stress (not on purpose...moved twice, upgraded twice) and he's still doing great. He's always open within a few minutes of being placed in his new tank.
Here's the most recent picture of him.

Nice!! What do you feed him? Do you find that he does or does not like flow? Thank you!!

MarineSniper · 04/13/2012, 07:27 PM

Not the showpiece your Sea Apple is but this is my spiny sea cucumber I picked up yesterday. Bought it a week ago but wanted to time its arrival around water changes. Watching it eat is extremely cool...like a kid licking his fingers

slapshot · 04/13/2012, 07:51 PM

Oh yea, those guys are sweet. I've had one for 3 years. I still like to watch him eat. Congrates!

Bongo Shrimp · 04/14/2012, 12:47 PM

So they are about 4ft... Making me look stupid.

Actually you are right. He was just out and he is almost as long as the tank is wide which is 4 ft. Guess you know my tank better than I!!

I add live (the bottle says live...who knows if it actually is live) phytoplankton every 2 to 3 days. I find mine likes a place where his body is protected but he can get his feathery appendages out into a good deal of flow.
