JManrow Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It's in my 40 gallon. There's a few peppermint shrimp and a bicolor blenny. This is the same species as the one Jason has, just a different color. His is close to full size, mine is only half that. The shrimp will be dinner at some point. I'm hoping the blenny is smart enough to stay away. They can eat anything their own size, and may attempt to eat anything slightly larger. They are best kept alone. Now, knowing this... best of luck! It is always a good idea to do a little research on new tank occupants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack-the-reefer Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Haven't updated in a while. He's still doing great. His color faded a lot, but he's recently been getting some darker red spots and lines. It'll be interesting to see what his color ends up like in the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Glad to see he is still kicking! Wonder why the color has faded any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack-the-reefer Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Their color changes to blend in with their environment. The little ones are found living around ball sponges a lot of the time. I'm guessing he was living in a red ball sponge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack-the-reefer Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I lost the sea lump today. I had him in a breeder box in the tank for a few days while I let some peppermint shrimp eat aptasia. I thought for sure he would be fine for a while. But it must have over stressed him and he didn't make it. I'm bummed, he was such a cool fish. The really annoying thing is that I swore that it was a one time purchase, and I'd never spend that much on a fish again. Now all I can do is think about getting another one. This is a silly hobby.
