It’s time to add this guy to the display.

Is it me or is this thing splitting three ways?

Top head has 2 mouths, bottom looks like 3... so you will have 5 eventually. May take a few months to completely split and longer to be able to frag, if so desired.

Water change out of the way today. Was MUCH needed, GHA was everywhere and I didnt realize how bad of a bubble algae infestation I had... I'm going to make more water tomorrow, and try and do another water change and clean up later this week. I've lost all my montipora, two frogspawn colonies to polyp bailout, and then other one is 3/4 gone. Seems like the first one sent the signal to exodus...

What happened to them?

Ive got 4 spots of GHA in my tank right now. 4!!! Can you believe that...

Those are huge!

The metallic green one is a Trachyphyllia radiata(indo, currently banned for export) and is 6" diameter and 3" tall. The rainbow is a Trachyphyllia geoffroy of a friend I have been holding forever now and it is 5" long by 3" wide and the fleshy part is probably 1" high with another 1" of skeleton under it.

Just need some TLC!

My new trachy looks similar to your indo. Pastel and metallic. Much smaller.

Does anyone know what kind of crab this big thing is?

Yea, life got crazy and I got lazy. I'd been telling myself to just do a water change but it never happened. I forced myself to clean it up today and will continue to force myself to change water once a month. I did about 50% today, and will do the same later this week. I need my tank back where it was this summer...

Blue leg hermit, good at picking up left over food, algae and snails... also likes to aggravate corals.

This guy is huge and has a voracious appetite.

How do you manage to keep 10 happy and healthy?
