veliferium Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 WOW,a lunare wrasse in a reef.... Have always wondered if it disturbs corals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bit Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 One of myy mistake as a beginer... The story began when those 2 lunares were given by my friend who loves fishing & diving and he caught them. I didn't know much about the fish that's safe to keep in the reef back then so I just put them in the tank. A month later I noticed about this fish behaviour from the books so I wanted to take them out of the tank. They are so damn hard to catch. In frustation that I'll never catch them, I just leave them in the tank up to now sooo.... one thing for sure, they won't do any harm to the corals BUT they will disturb the other invertebrates such as turbo snails, fan worms and shrimps. I have 3 fan worms that they don't disturb because they are already in the tank before I put the lunare in. After that, everytime I put new fan worms, they tried to eat the worm inside the tube. The worm escaped safely and built a new tube in other place but this time the lunare didn't disturb it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Dazza Posted April 12, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2005 i used to hv a lunare wrasse as well. But it grew n grew n grew until its 7-8 inches long.... attacks everything n everytime i tried to catch it the whole rockscape gets disturbed.... Finally solution = old fashion prawn meat on fishing hook.

SRC Member flamey Posted April 13, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted April 13, 2005 ur mushies very nice.... which part of indonesia r u from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bit Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thanks, I'm from jakarta. @ dazza, I've tried that before but the lunares were smart. I used a small hook but still I couldnt hook the buggers. Probably they already learned on how to nibble prawns without getting hooked from the previous experience. Remember that I got them fished from a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bit Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 I can't put anything anymore. No more space in there I'm still on the lookout for yummas and blue zoos though. They are so damn hard to find in here eventhough most of the corals sold overseas were from Indo. I guess all of the good ones have been sent to overseas. more pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidjazz Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 i understand, good yumas are hard to find. i am still building up my garden of mushies.
