The Iwagumi Reef

[yano]

This past weekend I changed my gorgonian that had grown too large for this A. Formosa blue tip:

It haven´t a stunning color but I hope it improves after a time in the Iwagumi, and its growth respects the original idea of making a different aquascaping in this little island.

I also bought this beautiful red Fromia Indica:

And now, a couple of general photos of the new look of the aquarium without the gorgonian:

Dang, I thought that gorg and a lot of movement to this tank. It was definitely an eye catcher.

Gorgonian was a spectacular move to the aquarium, but their growth was too fast and being flexible was doing shade to several corals. I think that A. Formosa will be a new eye catcher because it have a faster growth than humilis, styloporas and pocilloporas that abound in the rest of the aquarium, but it will be more easy to control growth.

Thanks for the update yano!

Excellent looking corals and clams. What is the blue and orange clam called?

Can't wait for your reef to mature... It will look astounding!

Hi Yano.
Any news?
It's still one of my favourite reef.
Very clean layout and an amazing selection of animals (corals, clams, fishes, inverts...)
Congrats.
Alex.

Thanks for all yours comments!
Excuse me for no updates in this time, I´m planning a little remodeling of the two islands of the front corners for when I return from vacation, but in the meantime I will show some of the latest fish and invertebrates that I managed to Iwagumi:

Linkia Multiflora:

Zebrida Adamsii: (crab simbiotic of urchins)

A little Synchiropus stellatus red:

A little Stonogobiops Yasha:

A Centropyge Loriculus 2 inch. long:

A little Goniopora red:

And a group of five tiny trimma sp. (though I've searched the web I have not found this species):
