And the "little people" rejoiced! Merry Christmas Patrick as we celebrate our Saviour's birth!
Amen to all that, Patrick. Everything proclaims our Lord's majesty!And the Word was made Flesh and dwelt amongst us.

I think one of the biggest reasons I can be passionate about reef keeping after 50 years is I see “Intelligent Design” in how everything is interconnected & interdependent. With recent research on the Coral Holibiont, it has become evident that coral & bacteria crosstalk to alter “gene expression“ to enhance their environment. As an observer of nature, I have come to embrace the concept of “less technology & more biology” and I strive to “emulate nature”. It brings me great joy to grow in tank live food as the “microbial loop” moves carbon up the food chain.
I continue Caribbean theme with addition of some deep water NPS Gorgonians.

How dare they make a meal of the RFA! Shame on them.Peppermint Shrimp eat Flower Anemone. So far, the shrimps have left Rocordia alone. I moved what was left of flower into high light 55G tank on bottom.
I added 6 Peppermints about a month ago to top 55 tank. In my effort to thin out live rock with pest from established tanks, I am using dual 55G tanks. Tank on top is second stage of the sanitation process. First stage is on me with tweezers, toothbrushes, injection needles and PEROXIDE. Aptasia and Asterina starfish are the major pests.How dare they make a meal of the RFA! Shame on them.
That Sargassum is gorgeous! Let me know how it does for you and what conditions (besides high light) that favors it.@vlangel
Check out comparison of low light Caulerpa growth (#1 picture) with high light intensity tank. Some of Caulerpa Paspoidies needs pruning and should be pruned regularly. The tangs love it.
Prior to this fast growing Caulerpa going sexual, the main stems triple in diameter and begin to ooze white into the water.
Even though Sargassum seaweed is grouped under brown macro, with 6K light spectrum, it looks golden. The last picture is flower anemone injured by peppermint.
I feel he will recover. I see 2 iridescent polyps 24 hours after put in lower tank. There are no predators in this tank. I ghost feed mussels and dose ammonia, so I have little need for janitors to clean this tank.That Sargassum is gorgeous! Let me know how it does for you and what conditions (besides high light) that favors it.
Wow, that poor RFA! It looks pretty bad. Do you think it has any chance of recovery?
