Finally took the duncan off the frag plug and glued it to the rockwork. I felt that it wasn't getting established enough because of it falling down constantly which probably is why it hasn't grown at all.

Hopefully it recovers from being manhandled :grimacing-face:

Anyone know why my Duncan is so unhappy? It's been glued at this spot for 5 days now yet still looks super miserable. Also looks like heavy recession on one of my heads. Not sure what it could be, would love your inputs.

Last weekend I brought back my first Rock Flower Anemone from my visit to Miami! Seems to be settling in nicely on the rock I placed him on.

Did a WC yesterday as well as added a bag of Purigen to bring down nitrates. They were at 50ppm which was probably what was causing the brown algae on the sand, and the hair and bubble algae on the rocks. All other levels looked great with Alk at 8.0, Magnesium at 1450, and Calcium at 485 (a little high).

Here are some pictures of the tank! I think it is doing quite well. Would love your guys inputs!

Unfortunately I have to report the death of my Yasha goby. I am unsure of what happened to it. I realized recently that I had not seen him in a while and when I did my most recent WC, I lifted up all of the rocks in hopes of finding him and I found nothing. Not sure what happened or what caused his death. Anyone have any ideas? Real bummer.

Sorry to hear. Did it jump?

I don't think so. I did a good lock around my tank and found nothing.

Thanks! I think they're Da Vinci Clowns but I'm not entirely sure.
