Mine looks at Bubble Algae and runs away.

WOW...It runs away and doesn't swim away?
My Purple seems to nip at it. Not sure if it's snacking or really eating it. not interested in Nori. I've tried several times. will try again this week. would be nice to catch on but maybe this is the trick to get it to eat bubble.

Oh I see someone answered this already!
 
good luck and best wishes. Was it the snow?
Mills was on my initial flight from DC but it got delayed because they couldn't keep up with the snow and she got another flight. delayed flight by 3 hours. but now there's a blizzard coming so I'm glad I'm back before that.
We only got like 2 inches! So probably not the snow lol. Her due date was the 14th originally but about a month ago they pushed it to the 24th, now here we are!
 
Ok so I really really want to put some type monti that makes the plates on my over flow walls (not sure if that's what they are called) or some other kind of neat coral to cover up the boring black. I know gsp would work but what else?
 
Morning everyone! I just woke up to momma saying its time! Send prayers please!
All the best to your wife! Sending energy of strength and resilience.
P.S. - Chris is a nice name.

Lol no problem, Steve. I barely made it myself. I talked a big game then fell asleep!
Yes, big game talker. I was here and it was all crickets.

Also I got my DustBowl corals last night 😁

Wow, beautiful Steven!
 
Went to my LFS today. Nitrates are up to 80. Much better then the 300+ I had. Looks like I'll be going back on schedule.
