Vlamingi Tang
I managed to get a better shot of the Vlamingi Tang today. This one is with flash and it lights up his spots nicely. Chris calls him "Freckles", but I'm not so sure that he is going to retain these spots as he grows...and he is growing very quickly!

In the Vlamingi photo you can see how that gorgonian is beginning to direct it's growth upward. A few arms are budding new arms vertically, while others have just decided to make the turn.
When I secured that gorgonian in the tank, it had a couple of arms that were nearly 2.5 feet long. I was unable to make it stand vertically because those arms broke the surface. So it ended up sort of angled, which has caused the growth direction change I just mentioned.

More tank egg-citement
Yup, sometimes it seems everyday there is something unique going on somewhere in the aquarium. It would seem that last night the sea hare laid eggs.
This egg mass is about 3" in diametre and maybe 3/4" thick. As usual, a picture does this more description than I ever could...  That grey and black speckled blob visible below the eggs is Mom (and Dad!?) Apparently, sea hares are hermaphrodites...but I'm unsure if this means that they can actually fertilize their own eggs. Under a microscope, I can't yet determine if the eggs are dividing yet. We'll look again tomorrow. It also seems that they do this at the end of their lives, so I'll have to keep a close eye on the health of the sea hare over the next while.

Looking amazing, and I'm proud for this to be my first post on Canreef. Early on you mentioned you were going to program your light rack to raise and lower over a several hour period - is this in place or did you abandon that idea? Also, do you keep your Aquatronica connected to your PC 24/7? Are you using the Ethernet module?
Thanks, Mike Last edited by mojo; 02-25-2008 at 09:04 PM.
