Latest update:
I've moved some things, Jello has moved some things, & the giant bulldozers of snails and emerald crabs have rearranged things ( I think some tenants may need to be evicted soon). My "moving crew" also relocated my crocea clam to underneath a rock and I found the empty shells amongst Jello's snail graveyard.

Some coral pieces have been moved into the other tanks as I've found better placement for them. Money is still super tight and my coral budget has become my divorce funds, but that's a story for another time. I'm really trying to dive deep into the tanks to relieve the stress, anxiety and depression that comes along with everything else going on.
Since I had been slacking on tank maintenance due to life, my No4 was out of this world and I could tell something wasn't right as my froggies and zoas were looking very grumpy.
I've been able to bring things back down with weekly water changes and everything is finally perking back up. The torches I've kept in this tank all have 3+ heads now, hammers with 4-15 heads. The zoas and froggies are finally perking back up now and
I'm still dealing with aiptasia (who isn't?) and will be going on an eradication spree this week then a good 15g WC after I go in hard with some F-Aiptasia and my BattleBrush.

I have a fire shrimp that loves aptasia. Unfortunately, it loves RFAs too. It’s earning a new home in my sump as soon as I can get it. Wanna borrow it?!?! Lol

Jello is on the lookout for the newest interloper into his playground.

What a gorgeous jerkface.

Meanwhile, the new interloper is hiding under the sand right where Jello is in the first photo.

Jello has come to outgrow his playground, and has now joined the Villains' tank.
@Crabby48 Thanks for the trap! :star-struck::beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

The Dude had to move too, as he's just a jerk and belongs with the other baddies.

So now, I don't know that I can still name this tank Jello's Playground.

Thread titles ideas?

Current Tennant list:
Bonnie & Clyde - mocha clowns
Tarja - coral beauty
Dusky wrasse that I have yet to find a fitting name.

Prospective Tennant list:
Leopard wrasse
China wrasse
Midas Blenny
Edit to add: SHRIMP!!!! With those 2 voracious monsters, I could never have shrimp. It's happening.



@i cant think and @Petcrazyson don't judge me for my non-Latinness :grimacing-face: :squinting-face-with-tongue:

Not sure about the thread name, but I'll take a crack at the Dusky...

Since "caliginous" is a synonym for "dusky", why not name the specimen "Caligula"? :cool:
