Anyone know anything about these little guys? I read in one book that they nip at corals but still reefsafe because they are so small that they don't do any damage. I picked up 2 of these guys and the one that hangs out on my frag rack has been nipping. Now some of my frags that had amazing...
I got this from a Manhatten Reefer in a 5 SPS pack. It was sold to me as Purple Nana.

I'm having to change mine every other day. I have two that I rotate and I they clog really quick. Maybe i'm not rinsing them good enough. Anyone have any tips or ideas that I could use to prolong that change?

My frag tank will be 18x18x10 in the center of the stand. (Not built yet)

Purple Monster by DFS ... $129 for 1 1/2" frag. It's pretty but I feel like I'm being tricked.
I'm bored with my 120.... already??!!
