That may be another reason it’s not opening up a bunch. It’s in a place with not a bunch of light. The par is not as good as on the other side of the tank. I hung my light wrong. I’ll see how he looks when I get home, if he doesn’t look really puffy, I may try to move him. 2 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Ok, so I moved the Hammer to a more open spot with more light and more space. He’s getting hit by a little bit more flow, but not a ton. A few of the heads started to open a bit more than they were on the other side of the tank, while one head didn’t change much at all. It’s about 3 or 4 inches from the toadstool leather. 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I got home today, and I immediately went downstairs to look at my tank. And I guess bc I moved my hammer close to one of my clowns anemones, the clown decided to attack it. He attacked one of heads I’m pretty sure. I moved him away from the nem and clown. The other heads are more puffy than yesterday which is good, but the one is not looking great. Any help would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment

Any chance of getting a video that shows how your flow is moving around the tank? Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Here’s a few more pictures of just things in the tank. The Granny Smith zoas are looking nice👍. That one picture is also the piece of the monti that broke off. You can see the polyps in person, but I don’t know about in the picture. 1 minute ago, WV Reefer said: It doesn’t look great.

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Woke up this morning and the hammer is looking better. Every head is looking puffy and almost expanding over the skeleton, except for the one head that got attacked. 4 Quote Link to comment

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 So I got a new coral that is on its way. It will be here Wednesday. I was told that it is kinda rare to find these type of lps. It’s a very pretty orange with green speckles in it. It’s called a scoly vitensis. I have a spot ready for it right near my trachy Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 It looks very similar to this, but with not as much green The hammer is also starting to come back. I thought it might’ve been a goner on Friday, but now it’s tentacles are starting to get more plump. 1 Quote Link to comment

Looks like your LTA is coloring up... but I'm cringing to see those wave makers without covers! Really think you'll want to invest in something before your anemone gets the shred again... Even some foam covers may do the trick. I'm using prefilters made by Current USA -- $12 for a 3 pack off amazon. They make them in 3 different sizes so be sure to order the appropriate size that'll work on your powerheads if you go that route. Here's a link to the ones I have on mine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3P9R8F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment

I’m planning on getting a Gyre and just get the netting for that. I really like the look of the gyre and the wave motion that it makes Quote Link to comment
pricewayne Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Sounds like a plan, just remember your nem can go for a walk at any time 🙂 foam covers may be a good idea until you upgrade to the gyro. Quote Link to comment

Yea, but I really don’t know if he’s going for a walk anytime soon. He decided to jam himself between a rock and the glass and looks pretty stuck to me😂. I just vacuumed the sand again, and now all the corals are grumpy Quote Link to comment

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Here are just some pictures that I feel like looked pretty good. Enjoy😁. The hammer looks better, the reds keds zoas won’t open very much for some reason, I don’t really know why. I also got a nice ric, and it didn’t come with a plug, so I have to buy some glue to glue it down. Will it attach itself somewhere? 1 Quote Link to comment
