Finally, the baby of the controversial gay penguins which really exist in this aquarium.

Apparently a hetrosexual couple gave birth to an extra egg which rarely happens. In the wild, the extra egg would usually be left to die, but since this was birthed in an aquarium, it was given to a gay couple which hatched it and has been looking after it since. Interesting!yhyqevyj.jpg

But I'm glad it finally went through the baptism of fire relatively unscathed. After cleaning the glass in the afternoon and a quick water change, viola! Since I started this hobby overseas trips have always been stressful man!

Only casualty is a burnt portion of my green monti cap too near the frogspawn and the moorish idol which had not feed since the day I got it..

Pleasantly surprised that the corals got wen more packed now and the orange digi is extending its polyps nicely again. Will take more pictures tomorrow when all the lights are on. 9epane9y.jpga3a9eras.jpg

3e6e4aja.jpgConsensus is that all efforts keeping sps gets unnoticed by people in general (my family members to be exact) and the green stay polyps is everyone's favourite. Haha. Next time I'll just keep star polyps only tank. Cheap and fuss free :)

See the black string thingy from sand bed? Any idea what that might be? Sure hope it is not the silicon from the bottom bracing starting to come apart.... Which I think could be the caseupevebab.jpg

Mind sharing how u got the green star poly to grow on the wall on tank? U stuck it on initially? Ty

hi Gerald and Sherman, no worries. Basically I just bought a rock of green star polyps and lean the part with the tissue against the glass. After that, nature should take over and slowly grow on the glass. Important thing to note is ensure healthy living star polyp tissue is touching the glass. All the best!
