@00W have you heard "Oceanside Countryside" yet? It's basically an unreleased album from 1977, that Neil Just released. Very recently.

Is it normal for my turbo snails to not have started to have moved last night? They just sort of sat there... But one of them sat and when I picked it up it had hair algae sticking out of it meaning it was eating?
When I put my order from reef cleaners in some of them took a while to move. The big, long knobby creeper sat in one place for 4 days, I thought it hadn't survived. Then on day 4 it was gone and I later saw it on the glass.

So sorry to hear that prayers for you and your family. Death is never an easy thing.
Just be grateful for the memories and do something nice to honor her that helps with healing I find.
