This is a question for some RC experts (ie - somebody who's experienced this before):

Hey Scott - Scott here.

You mentioned adding some snails to me, and I wonder about flukes causing problems with your fish. Can flukes be hitch-hikers on snails? (question for somebody on RC...

I've had my chili for 1 year now, and over the last month, it started extending its polyps much less. When I would do a water change, it would extend them for about a day, then stop again.

It grows on the glass and overflow box in my tank too. None really on the rocks, but in my other tank, it's only on the rocks.

Do you have a fish or snails that could be eating it off the rocks?...

I guess a big part of my question is - if the damsel did attack the wrasse and have the upper-hand, is the tank big enough (has lots of rock and corals) for...

What if I tire out the 3-stripe before adding the wrasse?

It will fight my siphon tube (rigid airline tubing) as long as I'm near its hole, so I can tire it out, but it stays completely away...

3-stripe damsel vs. green coris wrasse?

I have a green coris wrasse that has been in QT for 6 weeks, and I'd like to move to my display. One of the fish in the display is a 3-stripe, who is very aggressive toward most things that move,...

Anybody know if a green coris is likely to eat spiders too?

I just ripped one off my sweet greens last night - literally ripped it off; part of a leg tore off the spider.

Nevermind - he was sleeping still.

I ran a net handle through the sand & woke him up. He's acting completely normal now.

So the answer to my question is > 21 hours.

A secondary question to this - should I consider probing the sand to be sure it's still alive? (like run my fngers or something gently through it)

green coris hiding under sand

How long can/will a green coris bury itself for at one time?

So the mini-brittle stars are not a problem? I have these too - they are definitely not asterina; they look like brittles but tiny, mostly white with dark stripes.

Best way to prevent it is to have your rocks directly on the bottom, with the sand added around them. Otherwise they eventually will cause a shift.

surfnvb7 is right - it's best with these guys around for your rocks to be directly on the bottom, with the sand put in after the rocks. Otherwise, your rockwork will be undermined. :)
