Current USA Serene Back Light…….. it’s a little add on kit. Wasn’t sure I would like it but so far it’s ok to mess around with……… I need to try to program it to work on a schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 So, the rock looks good…….. lots of life, good color…………not sure how many critters survived but I saw a few types of dead crabs and a shrimp claw of some sort. Ive spotted bristle worms, spaghetti worms, Medusa worms, feather dusters, bivalves, sponge, macro algae, snails, starfish, cucumber and some other worms I’m not sure of yet. It’s much bigger than expected. The description said “fist size pieces”…………. Well they must have some big ass fists. For now most of it is in the tank and a few pieces are in the 75. Gotta come up with another plan now that I see the size of the rocks. a few pics: dead mithrax crab with a live cucumber in the middle of the pic two large clams both alive. cucumber 7 6 Quote Link to comment

You have NO IDEA of the smell. It would take the fur off a Yeti. The USF&W guys would hide when they opened the container. There's only one worse smell that I can think of and that's a leather coral milkshake. 1 4 Quote Link to comment

WV Reefer Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 I just spotted a Eunice worm of some type……..Yay! 4 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Spotted the Eunice worm a few more times. Tried to feed him but he ran away. 🙁 Also spotted a few peanut worms, tunicates and some sort of anemone maybe. There are so many bivalves I’m trying to identify them all. Definitely at least three turkey wing clams, an oyster or two and maybe jewel box clams. Will get more pics once I finalize the scape. until then, check out this bad boy I scored after winning the last PoTm contest: behold 🙌🏻 8 2 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Just saw a Mantis Shrimp! I was trying to get a photo of the Eunice worm when I saw it come out of the rock just above the worm. It was very pretty and about 1/2” long. https://instagram.com/p/CVD8uXXgqXI/ 5 5 Quote Link to comment
