I just pulled out about 2 lbs of invasive algae and found 2 corals burried that I didn't even know I had. They are not in great shape because they were in the dark for a few weeks but they may pull through.

If I don't find a way to get rid of this stuff soon, I will just have a tank of salad. 😬

I am still doing a test in a spare vat.

OMG a couple of months ago I added a tiny sea hare about 3/4" long. I couldn't find it and figured it croaked. I found it and I know why I couldn't find it before. I thought it was a large rock. The thing is about 9" long and 6" wide. It looks like a Manatee.

It's the big blob in the center of the picture below that plastic float. That container is about 8" deep.

I guess he does eat this stuff.

I'm likely getting a sea hare tomorrow. Been looking for a couple of weeks and someone posted one on Facebook yesterday.
 
I don't know what is in that fluconazole that I am trying in my test vat but the corals and anemones in there look better than in my main tank.
It is so healthy that something spawned in there and I don't know what it is because there are no animals in there except brittle stars, bristle worms and asternia stars.

They are not amphipods or copepods but they are swimming and running all over the place. I don't know what bristleworm larvae look like so maybe they are those. 😬
