My ponape birdsnest is now a snail catcher.  There are 2 more in the middle of this thing.

I'm not alone then, I keep pulling ceriths out of my mint green seriatopora - the hermits also prefer to molt in it.

Haha, that’s funny.  Now if they could just, you know, eat some algae.

Very nice. How are things going with the dinos?

Thanks.  Dino’s are still strictly on the sand.  Corals and fish are doing great.  The Dino’s have been less and less every week after I suck them out along with the very top layer of sand.  I haven’t been sucking out a lot of sand though.  Like half an inch worth into my bucket.  
 

So those are good signs.  I am just going to keep doing what I am doing and not change my routine.  Maybe after a few months they will disappear on their own.  That’s my hope anyways.

Algae eating trifecta

Did my Midas blenny get injured today or is there another issue?  One eye is puffy and he has a white spot on his fin that’s a little swollen.  His other eye is fine and all of the other fish have zero issues.  The Midas is acting and eating normal as well.

 

[Thrassian Atoll]

Midas Blenny is looking a lot better today.  His eye is almost 100% and the spot on his top fin is almost gone.  I am guessing he must of hit a coral or rock or something and injured himself

Acans looking really good tonight.

Some random photos just because everything is looking really good tonight.  Full polyp extension. Just fed.

Some new acros I got yesterday.  It was hard getting photos of these guys.

It’s getting there!  Starting to run out of room already.  Still want some more acros and a couple high end montis.  
 

What I have really been looking for is a 4”+ derasa clam like in the photo here.  Pretty common clam and style but I haven’t been able to find one in over a month of looking.

Pompom crab mopping up some food.  His anemones are getting pretty big.

That’d make for a great addition!  Seen one at LFS once, the electric blue rim was stunning. Yeah, even LA-DD hasn’t had any in a while.

Yup, that’s where I usually look.  A little over a month ago they had a ton and I didn’t pull the trigger for some reason.  They haven’t had any larger nice ones since nor has anywhere else.  Crocias and maximas are everywhere though.

The one night I forget to put my feeder door back on, my blue flasher wrasse decides he needs to jump out.  😔  Luckily it wasn’t the golden Rhomboidalis but sucks either way.  I am down to 8 fish now.
