Hi All,
To begin with, Im new!! Never kept anything even similar to what most you guys have but have always been facinated with it. To be honest i never even really thought it was possible until i came accross this site.
Anyway, After reading through the huge amount of useful information on this site im going to try and avoid asking questions that have already been covered a thousand times.
I have a red sea max 250, its been up and running now for 6 weeks using just live rock and live sand, Yesterday i added a couple of hermits and so far everything is fine including params. I went to my lfs in the uk and saw the flamboyant cuttles, i was amazed by them and pretty much decided there and then that i would like to keep one or at the very least another type of cuttle. Right, after doing my research I decided that a flamboyant wouldnt be the best option so after doing some research it seemed that S Bandensis would be more suitable. I have sourced some eggs but am reluctant to pick them up as i know my tank is fairly new and would like it to mature as much as possible before adding them.
So here are my questions
When I add them am i better to use a breeding net/holder to begin with?
Would people recomend getting one single egg or should i try to house 2 - 3 cuttles in my 55g?
Final question, how often (once settled) do you see you cuttle change colour/texture etc? Are they quite active or do they spend huge amounts of time hiding in the rock?
Any advice or help much appreciated.
