Definitely being careful with that, I’m hunting for things that are more colourful but not overly bright like a neon green slimer. I had a gorgeous deep green A. yongei which added the perfect colour and wasn’t too bright. I hope I can come across the same type of coral again. But my main plan is to add subtle colours that aren’t in your face but also aren’t just brown and beige.

I live in the south, slightly towards the west. The main county near by is I believe Dorset.
You south of London?

I have a friend in Notinghamshire and trying to figure how far apart you two are from each other.

Yeah, South of London is an easier way to put it haha.
I’m in the county of Hampshire and Nottinghamshire is next to my home county of Lincolnshire :)

It’s easy remembering the main cities in the northern counties, Lincoln is the main city in Lincolnshire, Nottingham is the main city in Nottinghamshire, Leicester is the main city in Leicestershire, ect…
Then you go down to the southern counties, Basingstoke is the main city in Hampshire, Guildford is the main city in Surrey ect…

Also, a small note about the tang;
My phone has a blue back and the tang saw it’s reflection so it went into territorial colours :)

My naoko does that, I tend to just sit for a good 10-15 minutes with the camera and wait until the fish comes out and get a quick snap :)
also you should grab that goldflake angel theoceanproject have :p
I’d love to but dang, the regal wouldn’t be too pleased haha. Besides, if I was to get another Angel it would likely be a Genicanthus species.

That Kingi is a beautiful size though, it’s about 4 inches, possibly 4.5-5 inches.

tbh i think if kingi's weren't rare i don't think i would like them
Honestly, I agree there!
They’re just… brown and white.

A black tang is a tang I used to love, then a scopas ruined that genus for me. I would rather have a CBB over any Zebrasoma.

One thing I forgot to say that did happen last week was…
My pump finally packed in. I have no idea why however it was starting to age (it was Atleast 4 years by now). I did replace it with with the same pump and never really went into detail about what I run in the sump. So, tomorrow you can get an idea on the ‘behind’ the scenes and what I run :)

Well, this is exciting news to see!!
I looked down my tank from the right side to see if I could spot my blenny. And… Here’s what I see!
All the way on the other end of the tank is a small frag of Leather.

I then think to myself about what leathers I’ve fragged or even brought and I’ve not dragged any of them at all recently, last time I fragged a leather was to make 1 Kenya colony become 2 colonies. Here’s just one of those 2

And then I look back to compare it to all of the 6 leathers I knew I had (The two Kenyas, Sinularia brassica and all 3 Lobophytums) there were only two that looked similar, and they are the Kenya’s. So I go round to the other side to get a closer photo.

Lo and behold, I now have not 1, not 2 but 3 pieces of kenya!

It’s great to see these corals thriving whilst others are slowly wilting as I feel like I’m doing Atleast one thing right :)
