My shipment comes in today. YAY! I had a good look in the tank and it looks more bare than before.... hmmm A lot of the green grape is disintegrating, while others are still green. I have noticed a few stem tips are starting to grow so I will rip those out today and squish the rest of the stem that I can see. I dunno what is going on, but I like it .
Even my calpura prolifera is melting. Which I don't like but, focus right now is to get corals back to health and get grape back to a manageable state or gone.
My frogspawn is puffing up very nicely and my candycane is very puffy again Needs some time to heal itself and cover the exposed skeleton. I didnt see any feeders come out but when I do I will give it some num nums.
Next week I think im going to stir the sandbed like crazy and do another 50% WC. Im thinking that helped out quite a bit.

And now a question. WTF are those things on my gorg? There is a starfish wrapped tightly around the main stalk in the top left, and a praying mantis looking thing on the right of the picture. The praying mantis thing (there are lots) are firmly attached by holding on with their legs and then waving their arms around trying to catch whatever floats by. They look vicious. Mainly transparent, but some have dark stripes/blotches.
