The Clown tang has been feisty as of late. Can see some posturing and flashing during this nori feeding. I record them often just to play back the video and watch interactions. I share once in a while.

The clown tang is not to be bossed at all. It even charges both zebrasomas. Twice and triple its size. Brass you know what... unreal how the anthias did the same thing. Just stepped up and claimed its spot. All went pretty well. A flash at 3:20ish over a torn piece floating away. And then another little flash around the 4:30 mark or so.

Acans will be delayed until tomorrow. Which bites on one hand, but on the other hand the vendor threw me a 7th frag for free.

All good things come to those who wait I suppose. Making apple fritter bread from scratch instead of dipping protocol

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Stay safe n salty friends.

Looks great! and the breads not bad either

Breads done.

On my way to have an outside social distancing bbq, or whatever u wanna call it with my parents. 1st time seeing them in 6 weeks. Beautiful day for it.

Acans have arrived. 74° floated already and drip acclimating now. Then a melafix bath. The vendor and I have been in contact for over a year and he has a solid following. Upon request, he bayer dipped them for me before shipping. And I trust him completely. Awesome service.

Good morning all!

Just wrapped up some target feeding to try and promote the new Acans to puff up a bit.. hoping for good pics later.

Thought I would let u all know my clowns finally did the deed. Almost impossible to get a pic because it's shaded in a little dimple in the rock behind the right rbta.

Tough to tell, but theres dozens. Not expecting much since they are on the sps rock. Will likely just let this round go and hope they lay on the rock below next time. Which has no coral and I can move out to attempt to raise babies in the 26g qt.

I'm trying to force my buddy john to deisolate with proper PPE and slide over for a bit. If he gets to see them here, he wont come over. Ha!

Hoping to see ray as well today.

The acans still arent open, but ill take a few photos tonight as the whites start fading. They are really tucked away for now. Nothing really to photo, otherwise u know id be lighting up this thread with the spam cannon 9000.

So a few days ago i decide to pull the arch from the fuge. Dropped it in a bucket, Scrubbed it well in display water, and placed it in the QT. Blackout for 3 days. And voila...

@Raege 's kenya tree has survived months of algae overrunning the fuge. And even made a baby. Looks like the kenya tree might make it to the display after all ray.. Now @Fudsey is gonna whine;Drowning about his gsp being down in the fuge alone. ;Hilarious

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Poppa looking over his kin.

I really wanna pull the rock and try.. but idk.. the montipora and digitata are encrusted on it. Plus the nem. I dont think the qt t5 is enough, i would need a prime or something over the qt to keep them all im afraid.

Great picture man! perfect timing
