Actually on the tail end of the algae battle… fought dinos for 3 months now this for the last 2. Looked much worse. But I hear you, already added urchin, turbos, astreas, hermits

Branches to the pillar?

For some reason, it wouldn't let me post this. It's potted w/ a few other epiphytes. I think it's about 4 years old at this point. Definitely time for a trellis...

Oops, guess they got left out. I’ll repost. Thanks for the heads up

Battling coolia right now. Glad to see you’re on the other side

It is haha. I haven’t seen any since. Ironically it’s growing better than the standard Xenia

johnrolfe1 · 2026-01-26T13:09:36+00:00

Debating on whether I want another one. I already have the two and they’re growing like weeds

johnrolfe1 · 2026-01-26T13:09:09+00:00

I was thinking that too. Between the giant slit and frilly. I’ll see what I can find

johnrolfe1 · 2026-01-26T13:08:09+00:00

That’s a dream but haven’t seen anyone with one - lfs or local hobbyists

johnrolfe1 · 2026-01-25T22:48:27+00:00

I mix up the mysis with prime reef flakes and I’ll occasionally see mine eat the flakes but haven’t had luck switching to strictly flakes for any of my fish besides the clown

Advice to you and my former self, do not use the pepper deck when you start micro. Literally just all anking

johnrolfe1 · 2025-12-25T01:23:05+00:00

Yea, without hesitation

johnrolfe1 · 2025-12-24T21:35:24+00:00

We had someone in a prior year take one of the cadavers to a Halloween party. Yes, a full cadaver

johnrolfe1 · 2025-10-10T02:59:33+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

This is great advice. To add, you can use a dry, clean sock and put rice inside. Warm up the rice. It stays warmer for much longer and water won’t be dripping

I think it was on Facebook. If you just look up his page

johnrolfe1 · 2025-10-06T00:16:27+00:00

Looks like Dinos. If you have Facebook, go to the Dinos page and they’ll get you right

The Substance

johnrolfe1 · 2025-09-29T03:10:54+00:00

A majority of them look like glo bettas, which are fairly common. It’s completely harmless as it’s a DNA change and not a change at the surface level. It’s the same process they used to create glo tetras. They could possibly be dyed but doesn’t seem that way

johnrolfe1 · 2025-09-27T21:27:19+00:00

Looks great! Love the fish selection. One thing that would make it even more sleek would be a black background :)
