Snow_Phoenix Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Spotted my spaghetti worm out in the open - it's still alive and very active: 😮 Dusky and Bella: Limpet - it's quite big now! 😊 : This next post is a bit sad, but I expected it because when I first picked this frag up from the LFS, it was quite unhealthy.

I removed it from the sandbed and a LOT of bristleworms spilled put from the base of the coral. 😓 I placed it on the rocks, but the polyps are still dangling from the skeleton. 😭 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanos taking refuge: Dropped a bunch of pellets on the yuma by mistake - was actually aiming for the ledge next to it: 😅 Finally retrieved the blue discosoma shroom from the sandbed and reglued it to Mushroom Mountain: It appears unhurt, which is good. 👍 Quote Link to comment

He's quite beneficial, actually. He indirectly seeds the fuge and sump with different types of macro, and I believe he feeds on the sponges/tunicates in the fuge. I've tried feeding him prepared before, and he kept rejecting it. So I left him on his own, and he seems to be faring well without my intervention. I like watching him because he travels all over the sump - sometimes I catch him on my filter floss or even bag of coral stones - but most of the time, he lives and retreats to the fuge. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Current status of my pearl bubble coral - still dangling and it doesn't look too good: 😕 The polyps haven't bailed out fully, so I'm not sure what elseI can do except to leave it alone. Here's Goblin: Monty: Mushroom Mountain atm: Still so many empty spots. Will definitely try to fill those up with more shrooms. 👍 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Well, the pearl bubble polyps finally fully bailed out today afternoon: And wound up next to my yuma: I poked it off the rocks using a chopstick because it might sting the shrooms. The polyps are currently on the sandbed. 😕 Red devil shroom: The rest of the corals are okay. The cynarina is a bit retracted, but I think it is being irritated by the cluster of bristleworms that live under the frag plug. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment
