Thank you :)

 

She is a Candy Stripe Pistol.  

 

How have you been?

 

 

She is beautiful. I've had a pistol long before with red and white stripes - called a Candycane pistol. I miss having a shrimp. They're quite entertaining to watch.

 

Doing not too good health-wise (as usual), but otherwise alright. Mostly keeping myself occupied by writing or crafting stories, with hopes of publication someday. How have you been otherwise? I haven't caught up with everyone else's tanks yet. But I think I'll drop by Kat's thread later. I miss talking to Flowermama though - wonder how she is. She has gorgeous RFA/mantis tanks.

I have been great.  Im glad it’s winter and things have slowed down some so I can relax. 

 

I havent seen Flowermama on here in a while. She needs to check in. :)

I like that cowrie I have a couple in my 100.

 

Funny how they look sometimes.

 

Snails are mostly boring....... at least the Cowrie looks cool when he’s out and about.

Yep and it looks even better when its shell is covered. I see mine all the time sometimes a nice shiny shell other times they are covered.

I love the watchman/pistol pair lol - have they tried rescaping your sandbed yet?

 

And that starry blenny is beautiful. 

 

EDIT: Just realized the watchman/pistol pair was a video - not a pic. And yep, they're rescaping. :lol:

They keep stealing things!  Luckily I have been catching them in the act but they made some shrooms disappear a while back.

It's probably all stashed up neatly in their burrow. Well, *someone has to have some form of treasure to sacrifice to the Saltwater Gods. :happy:

Mine fell over and broke so I might have a piece for you soon. 

................Right now I got the algae bloom so I can’t even see it! :lol:

Somehow I just saw this about the branching GSP, if you do end up having  a piece, let me know, when it gets warmer I'd be interested!

 

I tried to get some purple star polyps from Diver's Den the other week.  They sent me a chalice or something instead. :rolleyes:  Worst part is how long it took me to realize it! :lol:

Mine took a Kryptonite shroom.... I was super pissed about that one......and a hairy shroom. 

 

The hairy shroom crawled its way up from the depths:

Bad pic but it’s a survivor!

Yeah mine fell off the plug and is just barely attached...... I’ll let it grow some more and then snip it and send you the plug.

That would be awesome!  I need spring to hurry up so it can get warmer outside and no worries about shipping things. :lol:

If anyone needs some branching GSP I have some. I pulled out a chunk 6 inches long or so and tossed it in my macro tank. I grows like a weed for me.

Starfish just got chopped. :(

 

MP40 - 3

Reef Critters - 0

 

 

What starfish was this, if I might ask? Sorry to hear he got sliced and diced. I nearly lost a YCG once to a wavemaker few years back. Was nightmarish - especially after I heard the grinding sound the wavemaker made as my fish was rolled around in it.

I had a small Red Fromia..... technically he is still alive but I don’t think he’ll make it.  I think he just got sucked in the crack because he was up there all the time. 

 

so far the MP40 has chopped up a RFA, Sassy the Sixline and the Starfish. :(

Ouch. Is there any way to cover the powerhead? I remember seeing a special foam-like pad that can be wrapped around the side grates of a wavemaker. Not sure if those things are still out there on the market, but I suppose it can be useful. My blenny (and all the blennies before him) likes to sit on the wavemaker when it's turned off for feedings. I have to always triple-check to make sure he's not perched on or in it before I turn the wavemaker on. I'd hate losing a fish to a wavemaker. 

 

Hope your fromia somehow makes it.
