Coral Beauty VS Clam- Round #1

[rz1a]

what did you end up using to put around the clam?

[RayAllen]

eggcrate. I made a cage 5x2 and its sitting underneath in the sand. Still get plenty of light from the MH.

I always have this on my photobucket, just in case...

Ive thought about the bottle trap, may try a 1 liter bottle because a 2liter would take up a lot of space in the tank.

be careful with a crocea on the sand it can clog their system

Good to know, ive seen many on the sand but had not heard that before. Its been on a rock but I moved it to keep it safe.

yeah they like to attach to rocks, you could keep it on the sand and just attach a rock or something underneath for them.

so for the trap, you just cut off a bit of the funnel for the fish to swim in?

[RayAllen]

yes, you basically cut the bottles end off and reverse it. The fish can swim in but are not intelligent enought to get out.

i wouldnt chance it, it may live long and prosper but as soon as something kicks up a sandstorm its likely a goner
