I was checking out my SW nano today and surprised to see my pink encrusted gorgonian was revived and open, the zos lived, and I found a baby yuma mushroom on the rock where I lost one.

Theres life back in the tank! Its amazing!

I am going to try to start restocking in the next couple weeks, while working on the 36g change over.

Thats great! I had a accident once with one of the fluffy mushrooms. using a tube to syphon out some water.. got 1/3 of the mushie in the bucket
Put the bit on some LR and it doing ok.
Glade you saved the corals

I am in shock. What gets me is the clam that hijacked on my live rock when I first bought the stuff for my tank lived through the cycle, and now lived through the great crash, it is a strong little guy!

I am just happy that I still have some of my original coral.

My water test the past week have been perfect, my pH is def better at 8.2.

You got a clam with your LR! Over here you would be paying $50-$300+ for a nice one.
I always get nice rock with bad hikers

Matt, you got a pic of the clam?
Yer, 40c or 104f.. its a stinker of a day, left the air con on at home.. hope the tank stays cool.
Angela, what corals are you looking at adding?

PS sorry for the temp hijack

Angela_96

Thats fine, I am wanting some xenia, green star polyps, and mushrooms.

Wow, its that warm there! Its like 4 degrees F here!

Peterpiper

I woulds swap any day, not to bad for me as I am in the office, but the employees are out in the heat.. Ill knock them off early today, its just to hot to be working in.
Realy like the star polyps! I saw a blue mushroom last week.. but it was sold the LFS is trying to get some more in.

Pete sadly the "inside's" of my clam died so i took the insides out and just left the empty shell in there. It looks cool though.

Can make good use out of Empty Clam shell. Certain fish will make good home out of it if you can fixed the shell in semi opened position. My blenny which my children collected over the summer has made him/herself a good home in large empty snail shell and tiny basslet hides in clams shell to avoid chasing by dottyback which also was collected over the summer.

I think my clam will be here after the end of the world alive. Its def still alive and well, I tap it on the side and it closes like normal, stays open filter feeding during the "light" hours.
