Hi guys, this is my first post on here. Ive spent a lot of time on Aquariumadvice.com and was chuffed to find a UK equivalent!
I want some opinions about happenings in my tank this weekend.
On Saturday I collected 2 small leather coral frags, 1 finger and 1 plating'ish. They shared a tank at the LFS and I presumed they were getting on fine. (Lovely blue sponge along with one of them and some glorious Zoa's!)
I have had a wonderful Bubble tip for about 6 months and my clowns love it dearly, it has been happily in one place for a long time now but over night on Saturday, after introducing the Leathers, he went walk about, decided it was all too much and stuffed himself through my brand new Hydor Korelia 4 powerhead (great PH btw). I was distraught as he was by far my favouritist reef member.
I know all PHs should be guarded against Anenames etc but I didnt think he would reach the Hydor as its so far out in the water column. I am genuinely gutted.
What I want opinions about is: Do you think the leathers started with their chemical warfare accross the tank and it forced the BTA to move?
Does anyone think I could have rescued the BTA and it survive? It was pulled through about 3 seperate grill openings upto halfway through its body and its torso was badly torn up. My new skimmer filled up over night!!!
Like to hear from you guys. I will be posting about my new 800 litre tank setup as I go if thats ok with you guys and its of interest. Its just water at the moment.
