There's something weird going on with your SPS. They are different colours and there are these weird little tentacles coming out of them.

The eviction of the Xenia is complete! I traded it into my favorite LFS, RC, in exchange for credit. I picked some new rock, beautiful stuff!

I'm really hoping removing the xenia will help improve my water quality, and in turn, SPS growth. Plus I now have tons of extra space for future additions.

Before:


After:


This is all the clove polyps I pulled off an SPS colony and a clam. They are like the plague. This is the second time I've pull mini colonies off both.


I want to see some growth on this guy!


Kevin's sandsifter that won't touch the poop pile.


We also got to go see Fishytime's tank in person, very sweet! I'd definitely recommend a visit if you can!

I'm so happy to have the Xenia out of the tank. Some of my pieces that weren't doing so hot have stopped declining. The skimmer isn't pulling out as much crap, the tank water is that much cleaner and clearer. So all in all, it was a great move to get that stuff out of my tank, and I wish we'd done it sooner.

Pictures from this morning!



A few of my resident clams






My favorite as of late

One of the aformentioned colonies that had started to go downhill prior to the removal of the Xenia.
