Today!
The gang coming out for a nori feeding.
My RBTA with its very aggressive clownfish. Her bites break skin! Note the brand new yellow hydnophora in the bottom left corner. I'm excited for it to grow out. You can also see the hippo in her little cave.
The one thing in my tank that doesn't seem to be doing well.... My plate coral has shrunk considerably in the past couple of weeks. I blame my clumsy sea cucumber. I've noticed some shrinking as well on my other sandbed corals when he cleans around them. I put them up on rocks right under a 250w halide. I feed the plate an occasional silverside and regular cyclops.
The culprit in question, hes about 18" fully stretched out.
My beautiful showsize CBB. He is a great eater and I have him trained to eat dried mysis out of my hand.
The other side of my tank and the only decent shot I got of my 6" hippo tang. I've had my cleaner wrasse for 6 months and he's as fat as a pig. He eats nori, F1 pellets, flakes, all sorts of frozen food, and picks off every fish from my anthias to my mandarin. My Kole got in a fight with my angel and got a nasty cut from it. My cleaner wrasse instantly helped nip the bacteria away and the wound healed lightning fast.
Here is an updated shot of my 29. It has turned into a very healthy reef where I toss in all my extra soft corals and polyps and let them 'fight it out'.
Enjoy!
