Livestock for 29 gallon

actually does help and i like this list. only wanna start off with soft corals so thats pretty good. Mandarin or scooter will come later (i still want it but im just popping it up for the future cuz i really want one!) as a matter of fact i actually think im gonna go exactly with this list; I really like it! Hmmm but I'll add like a yellow watchman goby by itself; looks like the pistol shrimp is coming later! I think the YWG could pretty much fill up the whole tank concerning only fish

 

Yeah, lol a splash of yellow would be great for that list. Whats up with the YWG/pistol shrimp couples? What's the relationship like? In my tank-this may sound weird- but my YWG and serpent star are best buddies. Always hanging out togeather and sharing food. it's really cool.

 

yeah yellow would give more color IMO. as for YWG/pistol shrimp pair its kinda like your serpent star and YWG; the YWG and shrimp live in the same burrow and get food for each other and defend each other if they have too. they'll usually just be in the same burrow; the YWG (or whatever goby is paired up with the shrimp) will be outside just watching for any danger, and I believe they sometimes switch turns. They both live in the same burrow pretty much; really cool relationship

 

That's awesome! If you can, don't get the serpent starfish right away. Take your time and look for the right color. I'd reccoment a neon orange. Most are purple or brown, and orange is hard to find. it requires patience, but should look great in a reef. My YWG is always perched at the mouth of the cave in front of the serpent star, in a protective position. It's something I don't understand, lol. When I drop pellets in, he brings them to the star and drops them by the starfishs mouth. it's really cool. And I didn't even buy them as a pair.

 

interesting... lol that sounds really interesting. didnt even no there were orange serpent stars. I usually see only green ones. as for corals now... lets see:
Devil's fnger leather coral, kenya tree, different kinds of zoanthids, button polyps, GSP, red mushrooms, still looking for a yellow coral (no yellow polyps please, had bad experience with them) and I've never really thought about an open brain so that should be interesting as well ;D

 

Heres all I could find for a yellow coral that's not sun polyps. You probably had sun polyps, very hard to keep up with the needs of those. These are just plain yellow-green polyps.
