Hello to all!

 

The Marine Scene

 

What's New

 

New fish this week include some Candy Hogfish. This beautiful fish is bright pink, yellow and orange and is one of the smaller, more invertebrate-safe hogfish. They are not a shy fish and will swim about the tank ignoring corals but may attack smaller shrimp. They are very hardy and make a great addition to any reef or community aquarium. We also received some larger Blue Neon Gobies, a mated pair of False Percula Clowns, lots of Green Chromis, Blue Fin Damsels, a medium Powder Blue Tang, a small Bristletooth Tomini Tang, Lemonpeel Angels, Yellow Watchman Gobies, Chalk Bass, Pajama Cardinals, Bangaii Cardinals, small Picasso Triggers, Midas Blennies, Bicolor Blennies, Long Spine Cardinals and many more!

Blue and Red Fiddler Crabs are new to our store. These crabs are mainly found hiding in the roots of mangroves, in sandy or muddy beaches. They only get about 1-2 inches and males have an oversized claw. They need to be able to climb out of the water so refugiums or aquariums with a lower water level would be best to house these cool crabs in. We also received some Tiger Tail Cucumbers. They are a chestnut brown color with white spotting, can reach up to one foot long and are a great sand sifter. They require a larger tank with live rock and a deep sandbed. Pom Pom/Boxing Crabs, Coral Banded Shrimp, Fire Shrimp, Sand Sifting Starfish, Serpent and Brittle Starfish, Turbo Snails, Margarita Snails, Red Kelp Macroalgae, Chaetomorpha, Feather Caulerpa, Long Tentacle Anemones, Bubble Tip Anemones, Blue and Red Linkia Stars, Red Fromia Stars, Deresa and Maxima Clams are also among the new invertebrates we received this week.

Did You Know?

 

 

Did you know that one of the best ways to maximize the health, color, and lifespan of your fish is to feed it an assortment of foods? We recommend feeding your fish at least five different types of food. The same way no human should eat the same meal everyday, fish and invertebrates should not eat just flake food or just brine shrimp. We carry pellets, freeze dried krill, lots of different flake foods, and a large assortment of frozen foods. We have food great for herbivores, omnivores, carnivores, small-mouth eaters, and large- mouth eaters. For the really finicky or picky eaters, we carry a few different vitamin and lipid supplements to make sure that all your fish are as healthy as possible. The best way to expand your fish's lunch menu is to either pick up at least five different types of food, or try one of our frozen variety packs. Are your fish and invertebrates getting the diet they deserve? Don't forget, we are having a special on Ocean Nutrition foods this weekend!
