Definitely worm free (IMLagoon25)

I tried to do the sexing thing earlier in life but it was not easy for me.

That's unfortunate wording :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Any updates?

 

[BristleWormHater]

Any updates?

I'll post one today

 

[BristleWormHater]

Totally didn't forget about that update :grinning-face-with-sweat:

 

[BristleWormHater]

Here it is
I got a pincussion urchin, tried to find a tuxedo urchin, couldn't find any near me.

Got this coral skeleton as a hitchiker on the urchin, as of late it's starred to grow it's polyps back, can't see them in this image though, still not sure what coral it is. Maybe a pipe organ or clove polyps?

Finally getting new growth on the botrocladia after getting choked by gha. (The new growth is those bubbles)

For some reason I never mentioned this on the build thread yet but I got this little hitchhiker bivalve on the macroalgae and hes doing well. My guess is a jewlbox clam or maybe a spiny oyster.

Oh yeah, the the gha situation has gotten a LOT better since I added the urchin, you'll seem ore full tank shots from now on!

Urchins are awesome workers, their whole day and night is a big lunch break and they never call in sick or go on vacation!

 

[BristleWormHater]

Just want to let you know there probably won't be very many updates until 2025. I've got an overseas trip coming up so I want to keep the tank stable.

Good stuff I wish my urchin didn’t get lazy lol now it’s time for me to buy another emerald crab hope it survives and assists me removing bubble algae

Look at these pineapple sponges :astonished-face:

It's gonna get pretty chaotic here, I'm moving, and I have no idea how to go about moving this tank, if you have tips please share them in this thread

Tips for moving a fish tank

Hey everyone! I'm moving to a new place sometime in January, so I thought now would be a great time to get some tips (before I mess anything up lol). The new place is only 2 minutes away which should make this EASIER and I have a 25 gallon tank, so hopefully this won't be too bad. Anyways, how...

Sorry I just saw this. You are probably already done...

At any rate, lots of buckets with lids. Don't fill them all the way up (slosh). A battery operated bubbler for each bucket (get them from the sporting goods or bait store). Make sure the receiving locations is 100% ready. Don't plan to do anything else the day of. You don;t have to take out the sand or ALL of the water. Get an extra pair of hands to move the actual tank. I work for beer, and am reasonably close to you.

Slow is fast and fast is smooth.

How do you tell them apart All the little wiggly undercarriage stuff looks the same to me on crustaceans. I got 4, 2 murdered my acans they got sumped the other 2 are constantly picking at the rock eating some invisible or super hard to see algae. I figure if they are not caught red clawed destroying something I want they can stay even if they are only pretending to do work.

I have not moved yet, Im currently in Spain and I'll begin moving when I get back to the states. Thank you for the advice!

Speaking of Spain, I'm going to try and visit a fish store here. I've been looking at images on Google maps and most of the stores here look 100x better than in the states or at least Georgia. I'll post pictures when I get them!
Happy new year!

Makes sense, Spain is almost all coastline and smaller than Texas.

 

[BristleWormHater]

I visited my first fish store yesterday, this was still a nice store, but it's much smaller than the other ones I've seen, which makes sense because this one was in a smaller city(Bergos). Still very nice place with some stunning coral colonies. The owner was very nice and we communicated with Google translate since my Spanish is not very good.
Here's some pictures I have more but the upload speed is VERY slow

I found a few stores in the UK some were great and some were awful but the selection was very different which made it the most interesting to me.
