Boobs are overrated.

 

I hope you are talking 2.4ml of All for Reef in the 80g and not this s mall one! And what is E-fin?

Well, we may just have to agree to disagree on that. lol
 

Nope. In this tank. Apparently these torches and blastos suck it up like crazy. 
 

E-fin is our small (but growing) Blue Hippo tang in the 80 gallon.

There isn’t a ton to report on this tank this month. Macro algae grows like crazy. I think there’s at least 7 or 8 different types of algae growing in this rock. Most of it is really pretty, but there or a couple of uglier(brown) types, and unfortunately bubble algae. This little guy appeared recently also - I’m thinking it’s some sort of anemone, because it has moved slightly a couple of times, and retracts when touched. 
 

 

I was trimming up the algae, and this piece of red grape must have been floating around in the tank. The hidden cup coral snagged it, and much like my 3am refrigerator sessions, after a long night of shooting Jameson and chasing loose women in my 20s, I’d eat just about anything I’d could get my hands on. 
 

 

I also picked up this adorable little trimma goby from one of our LFS. He loves to perch next to the alveopora. You can see just how little he is compared to the polyps of the alveopora. 

 

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pictures - here’s one that’s slightly better of the goby. 
 

I’d love to get a couple more of these fish, so he isn’t so lonely. Plus, who doesn’t want to watch the inner workings of a throuple? That’s must see (tank) TV!
