Cheers, it’s getting there. Learning SPS corals now. This was just taken with my iPhone when full tank lights are on. When the blues are on I take pics through my orange sunglasses

Just thought I’d share the latest picture of my reef. Grabbed a few more SPS corals today.

.

I managed to pick up one of my must have wrasses earlier in the week. An Adorned wrasse. I’ve now got my trio of Halichoeres wrasses and they all get on so well. An Adorned, Yellow Coris and Red Lined Wrasse. I would recommend these 3 to anyone. Halichoeres Cosmetus Halichoeres Chrysus...

So I travelled 80 miles to a new fish and coral store earlier and got carried away. I bought 10 new corals Cabbage coral Frogspawn Goniopora Sinularia Caliendrum Blue Monti Sunset Monti Red Plate Monti Cultured Indo SPS - not sure what this is (pictured if you have any idea) Cultured Stylo...

Settling in nicely. I’ve not seen the other one today but that’s ok.

Some of the new corals. The fungia plate has just been target fed reef roids.

So I had to pop into my LFS store earlier to pick up some frozen food and came out with 2 corals (clove polyp and large short tentacle fungia plate) and a pair of flame scooter blennies. Those places are like sweet shops! I’ll get pics of the corals once settled in.

It’ll be in the sand bed hiding. You’ll see it’s little ‘straw like trunk’ sticking out the sand. If not it’ll come out like an undead zombie when you add food in the tank

A nice mixture there to keep on top of the sand bed, glass and rocks. If you don’t think they’re keeping up with the diatoms, grab a couple more Nassarius snails

My last two wrasses (leopard wrasses) have been ordered and reserved. They won’t be arriving till mid next week.

Looking good, it’s always a good day when new corals arrive. I got some yesterday too. Your new CUC will start to work on your diatoms in no time

Buying corals is an addiction haha. It seems we can’t stop having a sneaky look online for them. I need to buy a mushroom or two plus a ricordia. A good CUC will soon sort those diatoms out, i remember having them for a couple of weeks. The aquascape is like a piece of abstract art, there’s...

I’ve not seen it send out sweeper tentacles but it can take up a lot of room. When the lights are out it’s shrinks to quite small meaning there’s plenty of exposed rock. Then when fully open, it fills the space nicely. Luckily I’ve placed mine where the water current pushes the tentacles into...

Ahh gotcha haha of course that’s what it says. I was reading it as ‘it’s a bit down in the sand’ DOH!! Elegance corals are awesome and there’s some much more colourful and patterned than mine. However, I wanted a dinner plate sized one lol. You should get one and I find they’re pretty easy to...
