That's it for now. 🌺

Bouncy brain funhouse. 😅

Favites:

 

 

^I've seen huge colonies of this one for sale at the store before. Looked very beautiful. 🥰

 

GSP spreading out even more on the wall:

Clump of GSP with rainbow malayan acans hidden underneath:

 

[Snow_Phoenix]

Changed the water today (80%). 😊

 

Adjusted the yuma lineup a bit since Pickle loves to pick up the yellow one and yeet it towards my rainbow brain coral. 

 

 

 

Spongodes, Acro & chili pepper monti - relatively slow-growing in this tank as compared to the Forest Fire digis:

 

 

 

 

GSP looking lush:

 

 

[Snow_Phoenix]

Duncan still not too happy even though it is no longer in close proximity with the GSP:

 

 

Cloves taking over:

 

 

Butt Munchers still making a comeback:

 

 

Shrimpy out for pellets:

 

 

 

 

That's it for now.

She's so sneaky that she only does it when I'm literally not in my bedroom lol. I swear she side-eyes me whenever I'm at my desk, as if thinking: 'Dammit woman - when are you gonna leave? I need to chuck this into my new home! (the brain)' 🤣🤣🤣

[Snow_Phoenix]

Pickle the 'I-yeet-yumas' clownfish enjoying being pampered by her new hideout:

 

 

 

 

[Snow_Phoenix]

Bouncing on the brain: 😊

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apologies for the slew of fish pics, but I simply love watching her. 🥰

Throwback pics to ~8 years ago, when actual zoa colonies were available at LFSes at dirt-cheap prices:

 

 

 

 

Ah, I truly miss those days!

Wow! so beautiful

[Snow_Phoenix]

Pickle this morning! 🥰

 

 

 

Orange leptastrea:

 

 

I'm starting to think this piece is not a leptastrea, but a microgoni. I'm not entirely sure. 🤷‍♀️

 

 

It's quite resilient though, and incredibly slow-growing. 

 

Also, tiny yuma baby has now developed more defined 'bubbles' on its surface with a hint of color. Second baby yuma is an inch away, but is still mostly a tiny blob. 😅

 

 

Other tiny shrooms have also grown bigger as well:

 

 

[Snow_Phoenix]

A quick random mix of shroom pics captured this morning. 😊

 

 

 

 

[Snow_Phoenix]

Heavy pic update! 

 

I took several topview pics this evening from different angles, mostly to see how the different directions from the light will affect the intensity of the coral colors below. Pickle was in most of these shots though, which I thought was nice. 😊

 

 

 

 

Close up of Pickle over the rainbow brain coral:

 

 

 

Geralt on the rocks, scavenging for pellets:

A different angle, with slightly zoomed in, followed by fully zoomed out shots:

Zoa Ledge from different angles:

 

 

 

 

^You might notice the tiny rescued monti frag has browned out and appears bleached on one end after prolonged contact with the GSP wall. 😕

 

This frag accidently fell off the rock during the last WC, and never quite recovered from that blow. I'm thinking of moving it somewhere else - tentatively on the sandbed, just to see if I can nurse this piece back to health. It is in terrible shape, but I'll try my best. 👍

 

Pavona & lepto combo atm:

 

 

Pavona definitely looks less glorious than what it was once before, but at least this last bit appears to be slowly bouncing back. 👍

Mushroom Mountain from above:

 

 

 

Yuma pile:

 

 

 

My glass is quite dirty, which was why any frontal views are slightly blurred & I favored topviews today. 😅

 

Next WC should be in 2 to 3 days. 😊
