Pink Pavona Cactus
suposed to be pink , but i can't seem to find a free spot to place, it so i just placed it on the bottom of my tank, close to a XL leather which seems to be growing like crazy.

these anthiasses, the squaminnis and a few dispars have been around a while.
same for the two now very "chubby" acanthurus triostegus

 

[glennf]

The yellow/black Comanthus Comatula

i still have it, and he move to another placed, because it seems he hates target feeding, now i don't target feed anymore. just normal lps food in the tank 2-3 times a day

 

[glennf]

3x acanthurus triostegus

 

[glennf]

red menella with oranje polyps, no very easy to keep in a mixed reef. i placed it now in a 50 liter NPS column.

Thanks...
it even more, when you know i have not done regular water changes since dec 2004.
Last mayor change was in jan 2012 . 2x200 liter
To get control over a po4 problem which occured by my own doing. Experimenting with NPS corals with on top a defective RO device.
