A local hobbyist, tearing down his tank and moving, made me a very happy camper, the other day.
I went over to check out what he had available
asside from 2 basketball sized Green Slimers and a beautiful Milli, I was thrilled to see an Oregon Tort COLONY!! Unfortunately, in order to get it, I had to take the entire rock, which also included a giant green with purple rimmed Monti cap and a decent sized colony of ORA Miami Orchid, along with tons of Pom Pom Xenia and some Majano anemone...grrr.
What the heck, I already have Majano, in my 200, along with a Matted Filefish, who's been doing an amazing job, for the past 3 weeks, of eradicating the pesky Majanos. Besides, all the colonies came off the rock and were separated, prior to going in my tank.
In it's new home...
Hundreds of mini brittle stars were all over the rock, as I was removing the colonies, so those were an added bonus. The rock is now outside, sans the 3 SPS colonies. Majano and Pom Pom Xenia can rot away...lol. I'll let the rock completely die, then get it cycled to re-use. It's a beautifully shaped piece, at least 15 pounds.
