Some of the sponges are still doing well (yellow ball sponges)...others didn't make it (large orange/red branching sponges)...and others have appeared from the live rock. In general, it is important to place them somewhere where they don't get any light.

If you are able to leave your rockwork and flow alone for an extended period of time, sponges tend to find the places where conditions are good for them.

I have a yellow sponge that just appeared one day and has takin over my tank. I dont mind it cause it stays hidden in behind the rocks and it actually glues them together...lol

As far as leaving the rockwork alone...I dont think I have two pictures where the rockwork is the same...lol

This is the 2nd time this has happened in the 13+ years that I've owned this green carpet 'nem. There was a full moon last night....coincidence? Probably.

The carpet changes its shape into a cup. This seems to limit the water flow in over the mouth and concentrates the sperm in this area. If not for the actions of the host clown, this would have pooled in the bowl formed by the anemone.

If you have ever dosed coral snow into your tank...that is what the tank looked like after an hour or so!

Things are looking great. Nice to see things turned around for you.

hey Greg, how are things with your tank? I hope things are going ok after some of your tank upsets.

Awesome tank! So Corix helped you out with the fittings and pipe? Great company!
