Possible Live StocK

Stomaella snail

The snail may still be there, haven't checked in a while.

due to various causes, some of the mushrooms did not do well, so I pulled all of them out save the two listed above. The Oranges seemed to be doing well and the green was attached to a rock I couldn't remove. I decided I wanted to focus on a smaller selection of corals and others were removed regardless of condition.

The Green ricordia retracted under a rock and I haven't checked lately if it is still extending.





Maybe I should clean the glass...

My glass looks like that

Reason why I quit.

Too much work for a pico.

Today is my lucky day!
