Lazy evening tonight, so here comes a couple of things from the Temporary Aquarium from the past week.
Needed larger frag rocks that won’t tumble over because of clumsy urchins or high flow, so I took out the old saw again. Some coral rocks are more dense then other.. But I needed the exercise in between all online meetings..
We got a coral shipment two weeks ago. All corals were light in colour, one almost white. I actually wrote on the delivery report to the wholesale that it was almost a DOA and was pretty sure the colony would be all bleached the next day. Here’s the colony when it came.
Here’s the colony one week later. Still pretty white, but you can see polyps on some of the white branches.
And this is the colony today.
It looks like the zooxanthellae algae’s are spreading up on the white branches.
I haven’t dared to glue the colony yet. I’m afraid to interrupt it’s heeling ;Bucktooth
Finally some behind the scenes footage making a video for World Ocean Day, 8th of June. As you can see we finally got nice weather and temperatures above 20 degrees!
