[Camaro Show Corals]

Any update?

So here we are a year and a half later and I am finally getting around to adding coral! I have been battling hair algae, diatoms and cyano, and finally got it all under control. I did not want to add any coral until that was accomplished as I didn't want to risk coral if I needed to take some drastic measures.

I am pretty upset as I am pretty sure my Carpenters Flasher Wrasse shot out of the tank when I lifted the lid to float the bags with the corals, as there was an orange streak and a big splash. My wife and I immediately scoured the floor thoroughly but found nothing. It's been several hours now, and I keep looking for the body but nothing. No sign of him in the tank and he is bold and doesn't hide much.

To provide an update, the current tank inhabitants include:
Foxface Lo
Ocellaris Clownfish
McClosky's Flasher Wrasse
Flame Angel
Blood Red Shrimp
Peppermint Shrimp

So this morning my shipment arrived from Aquarium Depot that included:
Blastomussa Merletti
Hollywood Green Stunner Chalice
Blood Agave Palys
Gold Schlagger Palys
Neon Green Pineapple Platygyra
Superman Rhodactis Mushroom
Merry Christmas Zoa
Neon Green Zoa

They have been acclimated and dipped and are now in the tank on a frag rack near the bottom of the tank for light acclimation. I did a lot of research on dealing with new corals so it went pretty smoothly (except for my jumper).

I am awaiting delivery from Top Shelf Aquatics this afternoon. I ordered:
TSA Northern Lights Lepto LPS
Space Invader Chalice LPS
TSA Pikachu Favia LPS
TSA Fire Favia LPS

I will be posting pictures in the next few days as things settle in.
