Snow's 10G Critters of Chaos - FTS & Coral Growth

[Snow_Phoenix]

Couldn't manage to do a WC today. Got hit by another nasty migraine. Will try again tomorrow. 

 

Some of my SPS don't look to happy - the purple digi will need to be trimmed because it's STNing from the base. 👍

Morning. 😊

 

Lights were just turned on - most corals don't have full PE yet: 

 

 

Sapphire was up early today:

 

 

And so was Zen:

 

 

 

Hunter was up early today too:

 

 

 

His lateral lines are still showing: 

 

 

I wasn't able to feed him or any of my other dragonets properly yesterday because I was unwell, but he seems to be doing okay. 😔

 

I'm thinking of transferring over some macro from the fuge of my 60G to my nano to make two more mini macro forests as a safe haven for the pods. Will have to keep feeding frozen though - I have a sense Hunter might not adapt to pellets quickly (or at all, for that matter). 🤔

Well if he changes his mind there are always plenty enough.

Still haven't done a WC. My sandbed is rather colorful. 😕 :

 

 

Zen:

 

 

Harold on the lepto:

 

 

Sunny Ds have grown in number:

 

 

Merlettis & leptastrea still competing for space:

Took a few pics of Hunter from above:

 

 

 

 

 

 

His body form still isn't too great and his training goes rather slowly, but otherwise, he is a very active fish. 

 

Prowler, my circus barred goby, actually came out in the open for several short seconds, but he darted back into his cave when I came up to the glass. 

 

Sapphire the damsel & Panda the clown are doing fine too. 👍

Finally managed to pull off a 4G WC today! 😄

 

Corals partially out of water:

 

 

 

Meteor shower cyphastrea is regaining color again, but turning...green (?) at the edges: 🤔

 

 

My Zoa Garden at the present:

Other corals in the nanoreef:

 

 

 

 

(Last pic was taken right after the WC, so the zoas were still a bit moody)

 

Growth is okay so far - many new polyps. They're now competing for space and growing into each other like a colorful mat - which was the look that I was going for when I added the zoa frags next to each other in the beginning. 😊

 

I also fragged off the base my purple digi and re-glued it on the rocks. Unfortunately, I've lost my cynarina (no flesh left 😔) and I also discovered my candy cane coral had fallen off the rocks and lost some flesh. It should heal up in time though (I hope). 👍

Thanks. Still has a lot of areas that needs to be improved on, though. 😅

[Snow_Phoenix]

Two quick updates:-

 

I just realized my shrooms have grown rather large in this tank, and look quite pretty in a pile: 😄

 

 

 

 

Harvey peeking:

 

 

Angled shot of part of my Zoa Garden: 🥰

Took a few angled FTSes for a change: 

 

 

 

 

 

Direct FTSes: 

 

 

 

 

Love the amount of growth and color I'm currently witnessing. Can't wait for it to grow out more - especially the SPSes. 🥰💦

Took these pics in the morning, when the tank was still waking up:

 

 

 

 

 

I like the random prolifera growth in the final pic. The actual prolifera clump that I have in this reef is in the opposite end of the tank, next to the filter intake. 😅

 

Waiting for the district barriers to be eased so that I may visit my primary LFS again. Would love to pick up more zoas - especially the blue hornets, if those are still available.
