Definitely worm free (IMLagoon25)

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.

The selection is pretty similar but it seems like they LOVE discus here, almost every store has them. I even found a shop called discusland

I did find two fish and one coral that I'm not sure on or have no clue what they are
Absolutely no idea what this fish is, saw it on google maps inages for a store

Somekind of Chromis or damsel? Feel like I've seen it before

This looks kinda like a bubble coral but a little different? Feel like ive seen this before too

First is Red Coris
Second is (I think) Ternate Damsel?

Coris Formosa
Formosa wrasse which as the name suggests lives nowhere near the island formerly known as formosa

[keepingfishwithnoidea]

Still suprising

I know they are completely different… your capital is Male (with an accent on the e) does that win me back some points

So went to the beach, very short stay because I'm with a group and apparently nobody else wants to get their shoes and pants wet on a rainy day on the beach lol. We will visit more beaches soon though. I got a bunch of shells I'll post pics later, I found a shark egg that I threw back, not before I took a picture of course. I am beating myself up because I fumbled two pieces of macro algae. The first one was a massive clump that I lost grip of when trying to wash it off and the other was tiny and blew away in the wind. :(

Here comes the pics

Might spend my whole life trying to outdo this shot ^
Found a bunch of limpets and a few anemones v

I picked up a bunch of decent sized rocks, might try growing encrusters on them. Got some GREAT shells too
Just gonna say, airport security is gonna love me. I picked up a pocket knife in teilto, a replica flintlock in Segovia, and 5 pounds of rocks in San Sebastian.
