Bought this sponge yesterday from GV. Never bother to buy this before since afraid of dying :D

Saw it available at the store for quite sometime already. Yeah this is the last blue sponge at the store compare to to 1st day its arrive. Cant resist to buy it anymore cause my tank lack of blue color.

So what the requirement for this sponge? As oppose to other sponge this sponge require intense light and flow. AND the most important thing DO NOT expose it to air! but the bangla at store expose it to air! o0uchh!!! .. hope its ok

Other thing need to consider, sponges release toxins and antibiotics when they die... so have to remove it quickly before its effect the water quality ;)

Since my daughter love the sea star very much .. so i have decided to try it once again :D

Its the same species that i have last 2 years ... and to be honest i dun have any confident to keep this star fish for so long .. last time its was ended in 1-2 weeks time .. so i dun expect anything within the 1st month.

I was choosing this species because of the color and the most importantly its reef safe.

As far as how is it doing now ... its still hide behind rock and i believe its doing ok so far ;)

New cleanup crew added to my tank recently. I'm never bother to buy this before, so not really have any idea how effective they are. But i'm quite surprise with the "job" done by this little fellow. I only have one of this to try out... so far certain area of the rock become white lol ...

For my need, i think 1 is enough.. so i can minimize they fight each other or killing my snails!

I'm not sure if they are suitable for reef tank cause some said it will bothering some coral... and some said its reef save.

Anyway i think its great addition to my cleanup crew ;)

Yeaaaha .. after saw these snail doing so many times "ritual" (sperm-ing) thing.. finally i'm able to see baby snail on my sump lol.

Im just noticed this about last week. I thought just 1 baby snail, but yesterday i saw at least 5 of them :D ... hope can can survive in the sump. Anyway i just add small cured rock to the sump section. Now they have home :)

I'm never hope the breeding successful at the first place because of, its never happend before (in my past experience) and the egg mostly got eaten by chromis ;)

So hope they can breed more, and dun have to buy snail anymore... yahooo

This snail was among the 1st batch fish/invert i bought for my first tank. Growth from 1/2 inch to almost 2 inch plus ...

Today.. its die .. dunno the exact reason .. maybe already old or not much algae to graze on :D

The only thing i know, its become very slow cleaner since this month compare to other snails that i have .. orang tua .. sakit belakang dah .. hehe

Now only left 2 snails .. going to buy more later!!
