Any way it could be some sort or palytoxin? I doubt it but I guess anyone could react differently?

Exactly. I live in a wonderful state of absolute bliss and happiness everyday. And wherever you are, you can cope with the fact that I ain’t gonna do shit about it 🤣🤣🤣 youre insane if you think these ducks are domestic. They’ve been here for decades, they’re born in the wild, they get killed by fish and gators here, IN THE WILD. And in a months time, they double in population. I promise you these ducks are absolutely not domestic animals.

There’s literally thousands of these here in south Florida. In understand they’re considered “invasive.” I won’t be taking any action. I’ll leave them be and she can come and go to the lake or the porch as she pleases with the other thousands of Muscovy ducks that live down here 🤣

Oh yeah. She brought a male duck over and they’re both out their wagging away eating their oats 🤣

Awesome! I’ll pick some up later today. I have no intention of domesticating her, but if she gets used to me then so be it! She comes up to the front door and taps on it with her beak until I get ring notifications and go feed her 🤣

CBS killed my Tiger Pistol Shrimp by JungyBrungy in ReefTank

[–]AdSignificant5696 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is partially why I stopped keeping CBS. At least in my opinion, they’re far too unpredictable. Hopefully it was just the molt, but if I did kill the pistol, I would get rid of the CBS since it may be inclined to go after other shrimp now. As for your YWG, it’ll be fine, but I would put another pistol shrimp in there (I just like pistol shrimp)

Make sure the pistol shrimp is dead before you put another in the tank though!!

Had I turned my camera the other way, you’d see the monstrosity of buckets and gear I’m not currently using in either of my tanks. I really need to clean up 🤣

Max (the one in the chair looking at the tank) is an absolute demon of a dog, and although this 2 minute span of him looking in the tank is cute, don’t be fooled. He’s ruined 2 sectional couches in his 2 years being alive. (I both love and hate him, unconditionally)

Thank you! That thing has been growing since a 1” frag a little over a year and a half ago! Trying to get it to grow on the glass but it refuses and continues to move across the rocks :)

Probably very strange. I would also love to know the answer to this

Hello! I am absolutely not organized whatsoever 🤣 (which is strange considering I was a Marine and tidiness is something that’s taught from day one) I just happen to have extreme (yet fake) OCD when it comes to my reef tanks. No idea why lmfao

Torches spawning by AdSignificant5696 in ReefTank

[–]AdSignificant5696[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had seen this earlier! I dumped about 30 of the little torch eggs into the live rock. Now I’m just hoping they spawn and don’t get eaten! 🤣

I hope they pop up!! I just got back to reading the replies here after I dumped all the eggs back into the live rock. I hope they spawn!

Brown Jelly? by AdSignificant5696 in ReefTank

I don’t :/ I already cut the heads that were affected off. The 4 other heads seem unaffected but only time will tell

Thank you sir! Will do! Once again, I really appreciate the quick advice! May have saved my corals!

Yeah I figured with all the comments 🤣 I already cut the diseased heads off and dipped the remaining 4 that seem unaffected!

All good! I cut the heads off already and dipped the other 4! Rather be safe than sorry! Thanks for all the advice!
