wish this damn thing would decide to live or die..... I’m over it. At one point it was covered in bubble algae, now it’s tunicates and sponges...... it just refuses to die. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love the markings on his back.

 

what kind of coral is that? Stylo? Digi?

He’s the cutest...... so far he’s not big enough to try climbing in the top but I’m sure that’s coming soon. 😄

 

It’s a Stylo....... I guess I should be happy it continues to rise from the dead but I just wish it would get on with it either way.

Today is transfer day for this tank.  Coral is going to be set up in a few different bins, hopefully all the fish and loose corals will go in the temporary tank.  
 

Let’s hope everything doesn’t die. 
 

…….. or get eaten by the kittens.

Good luck!  I'm sure it'll go just fine.

Thank you. 
 

I bought one of those pull apart floating fish traps so we’ll see how well it works on the problem fish like the tang and angel.

Day one of transfer went well. All of the wall islands, rocks and larger coral pieces have been moved. All that remains is the giant rock and I may just bust the corals off of it and start fresh. 
 

Have not transferred any fish yet except for the starry blenny and only because he hitchhiked his way in. 😄. Also lost a crab on the floor but caught him before he made it to the dryer. 😂

pic is with the stock light. Going to try to rig at least two of the radions here somewhere but with all that plastic I’m not sure it will work out. 
 

all the corals look great and are opened back up……. Even the gorgs that I thought would take a beating just because they are so large. 
 

going to try to start on fish today. 🤞🏻

That’s what I yelled back to my husband when he said “a crab just went under the couch!” 😂

I managed to catch three chromis yesterday along with lots of snails and crabs. Still need to get Chester, T2, Electra and one more Chromis. Almost had T2 in the floaty trap but he zoomed out at the last second. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Damn! Well keep taking out rocks and coral and he won’t have anywhere to hide.

Down to just the one chromis and the dottyback……..the assholes are both wedged in the only rock that’s too big for the holding tank. I might just pull it and put it in a separate tub.

Down to just the dottyback left to move but that bitch ain’t comin’ out anytime soon. She’ll eat anything in there so there’s no starving her out either.
