Algae ID (and fun pictures)
Just wanted to post a few pictures and see if I can get an ID of this algae. It has spread quite rapidly, but it small enough to make it a very welcome addition.
Enjoy!     Pictures courtesy of Mrs. Reefland. Scott  |

Not sure what it is but I would love some, if it gets out of hand and you start to prune it back I would be happy to pay for shipping!!
BTW There is a link to an algae ID site on the ID page of my site that may help ID it! HTH

Hi all!
chromis,
I've had the Butterfly for about 3 months now. It immediately accepted frozen mysis when acclimated from the distributor. A very welcome addition to my reef. Green Mariner, I'll keep you in mind. I could probably get you a few small pieces now if you wanted. Scott |

That last pic looks like Hair algae to me. And you are right, that stuff is fun!

well, slight change of plans. I bought the copperband today after a long chat with the manager of the store and watching the fish eat some brine. He is in my 10 gallon quarantine with a piece of aptaisia infested rock. I put a towel over his tank to reduce stress. He is from Fiji and was collected by a diver and not some kid with a slurp gun. All I have right now in the freezer is brine, should I buy something else? Pictures do not do this species justice, they "radiate" in person.
Saltjunkie, you still interested in trading worms for pods? Andrew |

Good luck with your Copperband
I've had several Copperband Butterfly fish over the years when I had a FO tank, but even though they initially ate (usually frozen brine only) they all eventually stopped eating and died. They are some of the most beautiful fish you can find. I hope yours survives. I'd try to train it to the most diverse diet you can get it to eat.

thanx reinhold, I fed him brine last night and though the fish had a hard time finding the food, he picked it off the bottom and rocks. Hes in quarantine with a bunch of aptaisa so he appears to be picking aptaisas and tubeworms off the rocks. I'm going shopping today for food, I hope to get whole clams, formula one and cocktail shrimp. I also have about 9 species of algae I can offer. He was at the lfs for over 3 weeks so I am hoping he will adapt to captivity nicely/
thanks again ANdrew |
