Arch-Scape Reef

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Been a minute.  Tank is still kicking.  I rescaped awhile back and took the arch out. Also added seagrass (Halophilia stipulacea). Recently treated a flatworm outbreak and need to nip the hair algae in the bud.

Beautiful! I like the new scape. Is that a long tentacle plate? Looks like you’ve had it a long time… do you feed it?

Thank you. Yes, that’s a Heliofungia. I bought it from a fellow reefer at a swap in 2018.  He was selling it because it was too big for his 75 gallon. Its been in a 34 gallon ever since.
 

I broadcast feed reefroids, golden pearls, and reef chili a few times a week (less sometimes), which is oddly their preferred food. 
 

Here’s a recent top down of it.

Interesting! And funny they thought the plate was too big for their 75.
 

I’ve never fed golden pearls or reef chili… I’ll have to check those out.

I looove that Halophila.  We had to do some seagrass surveys awhile back, specifically to look for Johnson's Seagrass (Halophila johnsonii) here in FL.  It was listed as a endangered species for ahwile...turns out after OUR survey they actually found it is not native to the FL coast, came in from ships in the Indo-Pacific 😅

 

Love the tank!!!
