Oh well I guess it's all part of the game. Best of luck with your fight my friend.

Not to worry yet. None of the current aiptasia are any bigger than cloves
It's more a pre-emptive strike right now rather than a full on war

Saw a berghia last night, so the peppermints haven't eaten them all ... yet

Bought more coral yesterday

I got a Purple Valida bansai acro, a red and a green acro, a wedge of green and, I think, yellow leptastrea, a nice green florida ric, and both some blue and some green zoas
All small stuff, so don't stay tuned for any major pics

Everything else is doing well
Algae is still under control
Hector and Bennie have eaten all the Isopods, so I hope the Hector's learns to eat mysis soon ....
The foxface is finally used to me having my hands in the tank, so no more worries about getting stabbed

Oh, I got 8 days out of my new felt socks and washed them before they were overflowing
Far cry from the old mesh ones, so, very happy there
Plus, they washed up very nicely

Nothing else to write home about Ma ...

Pics soon ...

New acans - the red is a rescue

Don't know why I thought the leptastrea was green and yellow
It's actually burgandy, green and baby blue

Purple valida bansai. Can't see the purple in this shot. It'll show up as it grows

Ric garden, although I don't think the yumas are going to make it

No pics of the new zoas - they're too small right now

Moved things around a bit
Octospawn is much happier in it's new spot

Very nice new acquisitions! I love the valida.

And, those nudis are darn cute. If I wind up with aiptasia I'm going to get an army of them.

How big is Smudge? He looks huge!

gregzz4 · #5 08-31-2012, 04:31 AM

Smudge is only about 4"
Close up shots make him look like a monster

Good thing our power outage today didn't last very long ...

Grabbed more frags from Rich tonight

And from J&L I picked up a purple fire fish and a royal gramma

Pics to follow in a day or 2

looking good buddy.

New frags from Rich. Thanks again buddy for mangling your colonies for me

Zoas and Palys are still closed a bit from handling

All the zoas so far from Chris and Rich

Couple new SPS - can't remember their names

Pink Digitata ?

Red something or other

Are your yumas doing better? If not try moving them down to the SB in a lower light. I find mine hate the direct light and do bes there.

Funny you ask
I am thinking about moving them into an overhang as they are not getting any better, and spot feeding is difficult where they are

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later

I am Sooo glad I place all new fish in QT
Of course, it doesn't help that I don't QT corals, shrimp, snails etc as I've rolled the dice, or rather, spun the cylinder, there

Anywhoo - poor Gramma

I saw it flash once before I bought it, but could not see anything, even with a pair of 300+ magnifier glasses on

2 days later and ...
( best pic I could get )
