  1. You have a sample pic? 

    Usually sand anemones stays at one place when u place them. I have a sandbed thus i dig a hole for it. Need high/moderate lighting. Have 2 in my tank.

    And i feed mine daily when i feed my fishes. Mine is a bright pink sand anemone. And by luck its hosting a clownfish. Dont usually happen...

    The other one just lepak beside a plate coral and funny that the plate coral didnt go to war with it. So they live in peace touching each other but no stinging sign from each other

  2. Used both. Sold the artica away due to the size. Its like a giant gaming cpu. Settled with a teco due to the size.

    One thing i noticed with my teco i have to set a about 4 deg lower for the desired temp in my tank. 

    Ex 26deg main tank. 

    Set teco at 22 deg 

    with this settings it seems not to work too hard as much when setting much lower temp on the teco I cant barely hear the compressor turns on.Maybe because the main water that is pumped thru is already cold to begin with and it just maintains the cold. When set much higher temp it seems to be working abit on the fulltime. Unnoticeable compressor sound or maybe im already deaf from the protein skimmer sound.

    For the artica she is a tank to move around but easier to clean and service.Artica chills faster in my opinion. Teco has a sensor problem which if ur water temp is 29 deg. You must set the teco at 27 deg in order for the teco to start the compressor. If u set to 19 deg..  no go it will just shut down and restart..Then u gradually lower and lower to ur desired temp on the unit.

    i settled for the teco due to the size.

    Update for bicolor and black nox/ midnight angels.

     

    These are all outdated, mostly from 2010-2012 prices

    let's all try to update this?

     

    Prices here are rough estimates only and based on individual reefer's experience. Discounted and bulk buying price should not be used.

    Prices will vary from shop to shop due to many factors such as region/breed/size of fish, economic sense, operation cost, quarantine methods, import quantity, pellet/frozen food trained, bargaining, stock clearance, etc.

    Names of LFS should not be added.

    Short tentacle plate ~ $10-$20

    Indonesia cultured sps mostly 3 colonies for $100. If wild colonies $50-$70 per colony.

     

    Australia sps wild colonies range from $120 per colony to $600 for large ssc colony which I personally think the recent price hike on ssc is ridiculous.

     

    A wild colony size easily can have 10-20 frags. So you do your maths and see if its worth or not. In my principle, I dont mind paying extra 20-30% more for frags that are stable n well encrusted on plugs.
