rotleybutii, I'll stay up 'till midnight for frags!

jjakes24, I think conchs are slow-moving and will stay burrowing in the sand. My two have only moved a couple of inches from where I put them in, but I think they'll survive at this point.

Stix, I don't know about empty shells, but I did get a little bonus surprise. The one cerith that I thought was really active...was a hermit in a cerith shell!

As for the rest of the ceriths, they were slow to the dance but a lot of them are up and partying. Still have 30% of my 69 ceriths on the sand, so it may be another day or two before we do the body count, but I'm hoping most of them will come around.

Ribs, you had the big order for ceriths, how are you making out?

Almost every astrea are staking their territory. Nice to have a cleanup crew in the tank. What types of algae are attached? I see 2 distinct types....the skinny whiteish stringy stuff and the much fatter green strings.
At this point I consider the ceriths lackadaisical (sp). Reserving judgement for another day or so.......there is occasional movement in the section I've placed them. A very few have wandered farther than the astreas.



Nice floyd cracks

First, "Thankyou" to rotleybutii for the frags. They are in the quarantine tank for a little bit before I move them to the display.

Body Count
Looks like most of my Ceriths eventually woke up and started moving. I know Krikor lost a conch. Anybody else? Reeftopia will give us credit as part of their guarantee, but I'd like to let them know soon.

If you had any fatalities, please post here and I'll forward the info to Reeftopia.

Update, the conch is dead. I found just an empty shell upside down when I got home. I am guessing my hermits had a good meal.
