Caught my hermit performing a wall climbing stunt today... he kept scaling up the sealant and falling down a few times before giving up.

Some coralline algae growth. These used to be completely bare spots on the live rocks. Can't wait for them to be fully encrusted with it.

[peacemaker]

Tiny tube worms on the live rocks. My Coco worms produces many "egg" like stuff from time to time. Not sure if this is their form of propagation.

My pumping Xenia is on their way to migration! Signs of splitting and moving on... I wonder where they will wander...

[peacemaker]

Heh... these guys are getting confused. Exchanging partners once in awhile... The clown pair dominates the right side of the tank where their "host" is (Xenia). The purple firefish pair hangs around on the left with the zoas.

Check out the break dance! Maybe he should audition for the next "Step Up" dance movie... "Step Up 3 - The Hermits". Love this guy...

A top-down view of my rics. Notice that the bleached ones at the top right are still in bad shape, but looking at the recovery of the bottom left orange one (which used to be in this condition), I'd say chances of recovery are good.

Hey! Thanks!

[tiffanydunk]

any updates peace?

[peacemaker]

any updates peace?

Hahaha... what kind of updates are you looking for? Mine is a nano tank, you know... very small and limited. Heh... I just bought 2 new zoas from Ah Beng's, so will be taking some pictures later once they have fully acclimatised. On the contrary, I'm looking forward to your tank updates!

[peacemaker]

I did a small modification to my skimmer's air intake today. I have limited experiences with skimmers, and didn't realize that even such tweaking could contribute quite a lot to the type of skimmate.

[peacemaker]

After dosing 2 capfuls of 5 in 1 Coral food, I noticed worm-like creatures coming from my mushrooms. Upon closer look, it seems like very tiny starfishes. Anyone care to ID? Is it harmful?

[vt_snowman87]

hi peacemaker, dun worry abt those stars, they're harmless.. just detritus feeders..

[peacemaker]

Ah... sweet. This rock of mushrooms sure has lots of hitchhikers... mantis shrimp, nuisance crabs, and now starfishes. At least these are useful.

[peacemaker]

Did a bit of re-scaping today after getting some new corals. Shifted the whole rock scape backwards for more foreground space. Will be posting photos after the corals acclimatise to my tank. I should be done stocking now... the whole tank is pretty packed at the moment. The only way I could buy any more is to sell my existing ones. *Sigh* The constraints of a nano tank...

[vt_snowman87]

im facing space constraints too.. look forward to ur new pics..

Thanks! I don't really dose anything except for 5-in-1 coral food. But time to advertise a little for one of our sponsors on this webby... I occasionally mix a little of "Top Up" from Iwarna whenever I do a water change. Distilled water, a small portion of Top Up, and the salt. Works for me.

Hey, its cool... how's your setup going on as well? Waiting for you post start your tank thread.

[peacemaker]

Some new additions... Green PPE.
