growsomething Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 It just occured to me that could be a bryopsis species. Too late. Also I moved the hermit my lfs talked me into to the sump as he's become a terror and has killed most snails and anything his size. 1 Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Looks like the red decorator crab is going to make it. Didn't move for most of a week, now he is out and about doing crab things. 20240107_100552.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Did you ever wonder if the tank inhabitants see this LED flicker? 1 Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 When I was younger last century, elderly men would dig up bloodworms on mud flats to fish for sheepshead with cane poles. I think this may be a baby "blood worm"? The ones they dug up were as thick as a finger and pretty long. 20240112_074509.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment
duganderson Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Love the updated tank shots. The look of the rocks on the back wall with coral add a lot to this tank! Love it! --Doug 1 Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 This little rascal has been collecting and discarding zoas all over the tank. Can hardly see him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Been using nsw my whole life and never have seen this many creatures. From little round dots to shrimp-like things that can swim against the filter flow, the water is crawling. It was harvested Sat. at sunrise and acclimated in the house as per usual for over 24 hs. Clownfish are usually dumb when it comes to catching pods, etc, but mine is hanging right where the current comes down the front pane to the bottom and is snatching stuff up. 20240211_181645.mp4 1 1 Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 My boy loves to pop the bubble algae at the top of the rock during cleaning. He has also discoveredit is fun to feed pellets to the rfa. Took a peek at the back chambers and saw this guy. He moves somehow to the most advantageous position. Came in on KP live rocks 4 ys ago. Found out where the brittle starfish ended up while I was looking down there, in the pump section. Sent a few pellets down for him before turning the pump back on. I imagine he ate the hermit I put back there that was eating all my snails. 1 Quote Link to comment

growsomething Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 20240225_072605_1.mp4 We saw this absolute unit of a hermit while seashell hunting at sunrise. Quote Link to comment
growsomething Posted yesterday at 01:16 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:16 PM Little update: This red decorator is about triple the size when we caught him. Full tank shot, not much has changed, porites plate grows no matter water changes or not. Here is the 2nd lens I've had on my awesome AI HD light. Settings were about 1/2 strength that I can remember, leaning towards natural daylight spectrum. Can no longer access it from my phone, I miss the manual controls from days of yore. We had a toilet feed flood the house and moved the tank 2x. Had to unplug the light a few days till I got it in synq with when we want it to come on/shut off. 1 Quote Link to comment
