Some photos of the nest laid yesterday 🙂 The big question now is how I’m going to be dealing with the eggs / babies while I’m speaking to the Boston Reefers next weekend!  Mike’s Maroons are on a 7 day schedule, and I can certainly bump up the temp a bit to encourage faster incubation […]

Yes, there is one sure fire way to get an update – heckle me into it via the comment system here at www.Lightning-Maroon-Clownfish.com So for starters, let’s talk NPS (Non PhotoSynthetic corals).  Yes, I’ve had some Balanophyllia for a while now, as a somewhat local reefer grows them like crazy and they always end up […]
