I was watching the tank as the lights started to ramp up and thought how nice the ricordia was looking.
... but something was wrong!
No green background, the rock with the bounce shrooms on was missing!
Emergency arm in, where the rock had landed it was squashing one of them against the scape, watch them both let go now.
The only thing that could have moved them is a mithrax, ho hum! :rolleyes:

Due to the above issue I took some pics.
This explains the the second pic, that is the biggest of the shrooms and is really expanding trying to reach out of the shade.

This one seems ok.

I think this is the one that got squished.

Fluffy shroom.

I did take a few pics yesterday but didn't post them because I was annoyed about the cloudy water = engineer goby.
Spongodes from the front, the tips have gone an amber colour so I need to check if that is right, good pe. :)

Tried to get the pavona in, there is more bottom left.
You have to trust me that the black blob is the bcg, it owns the pavona and very rarely strays. :)

The back shelf, the remains of the stylo are now gone and the cabbage has been moved back a touch, the shroom is on that other skeleton. ;)

The blasto frag.
Just moved, that is exactly where I want it but I need to get it on the rock.
It is on a plug (glue?) on putty and there are 5 or 6 babies, obviously I would like to pop it off the plug but I don't know if any of the babies are attached to the plug, I will take it out and have a good look when I do it. ;)

Every time I decide on getting an engineer goby I read a post of yours and have second thoughts.

They are great fish but you need to be aware that they will dig deep dark places and release crud, my tank hovers near a mini cycle all the time now and I have given up on acros, I knew what I was potentially taking on, you do clean clean sand back though! ;)

It will be going in a new tank if I get one. Figured between all the leopard wrasse and an engineer goby storing up sandI wouldn’t need to clean. Love the eel like movement without having an eel

Do it, I love mine and in a new tank you won't have the crap build up I have, I wouldn't give mine up! ;)
