Brunei

Reefer bros, Thanks a lot for the feedback and assistance on my plight. From the pics attached by the kind reefer bros, i really really cannot justify if its flatworm. Dun worry i will take some close-up pics and post it tommorow. Once again, thanks so much guys for the help.

Dear bros, I hope you guys can help me on this. I've noticed that most of my corals have crimson dots and pacthes on their flesh. I keep elegance, bubble, open brain and i realised this 'disease' on all of them. Anyone experience this before? Kindly share with me if you seen this phenomenom before. Thanks!!

Thanks to all the bros with the kind advice and suggestions. I will try to place a mirror and continue to use low light until the fighting subsides. Went home for lunch today and seems like they are leaving the PT alone already. Maybe sien liao.. Oh and also, i got a Box Fish (Black with white spots). I duno the exact name. I house it in the sump for few days temporary, but died yesterday. Once again, thanks to all bros who helped me on this. Will update again.

Tank is 3 X 2.5 X 2.5 which i think is small for my tangs. I have 3 sub-species of the Zebrasomas species i.e. YT, PT, Scopas which are all of the same shape and this sure leads to aggressiveness among them. But i just love the Zebrasomas coz they're like underwater horses (Their snout) Sigh..how i wish they get along well. Impossible to use arcylic sheets la due to the rock works. This tank is tall than elongated.. I read up that PT are most aggressive of the Zebrasomas, but opposite in this case. Even the Blue Tang (Dory) is bullying him.

Thanks bro Comycus and Vtec for your kind feedback early in the morning. It would be rather difficult to take the bullies out of the tank as i have to remove all the live rocks (so much work to do and time needed) The PT's fine are slightly torn but for now still not too severe. But if he gets too bashed up, no choice but to take out the rocks, extradict the bullies and rescape the whole tank. Sigh.. I may try to use a mirror to divert the bullie's attention to fight their own reflection and give the PT some healing time. Hope it works. Will continue to monitor the brawl for few days first and see how it turns out.

Dear reefers, Hope you can help me solve this problem. My existing tank consist of a Blue Tang, Yellow Tang and 3 Clowns. Problem is when i introduced a new purple tang, the YT and BT kept bullying him, nipping at his fin and keep cornering him. I've off the main lights for now leaving only a dim moonlight on at all times. How do i solve this problem? Will the bullies get bored of him soon and leave him alone or will they jump on him till he mati? Thanks in advance.

Some pics to share

Bro Kiko, yes i dive to collect those corals. Quite an array to choose from actually (Hammers, Elegance, Bubbles, Blastos, Open Brains). But avoid stuffs like Anemones, Goinoporas and hard to keep long term ones. I also broke off a small frag of brown SPS to try out in the tank. Will post some pics of the my future diving trips. Bro Desideria, the local reef macam a personal LFS. Can pick and choose. But to capture fish needs more skills. Very fast and need 2-3 dive buddies. One question, will my SPS thrive ? Lighting are retrofit 10K 150W MH + 20K 75W MH + 72-120W of Actinics.

From Brunei residing in Brunei. L.Rs and all corals are collected by myself from local reefs.

I had a copperband too but it perished after 2 months in my newly setup tank. It never wanted to eat anything except for ocassionally pecking on live-rocks for tiny inverterbrates. Tried mysis, brineshrimp, mosquito larva etc but to no avail. I even used an cut inverted soda bottle and drilling multiple holes and putting live foods inside. Never tried blackworms though, but heard it works. Chelmons are difficult unless in a big tank with lots of live rocks to hide from bullying and stress-free enviroment. Mine seems to be very stressed-out and nervous since the first day of introduction. A very bautiful fish for advance keepers...

Hi Bro, I am also experiencing such thing. My sand shifter SF dropping legs also. Any bros care to tell why ?

Clam's byssal gland also stuck to rock liao la... How to move him? Anyway, the anemone moved slightly away already, but still partially shading my clam frm the lights..

Bor Jervismun, Forgot to mention.. Your tank is nice! Clam is nice too. Planning to get more?
