I woke up this morning to find my skunk cleaner shrimp had molted and it TOTALLY freaked me out! I didn't realize the antennae would molt too! Yikes. It looks like a second shrimp. [emoji33]

Got my first little corals this weekend!! So far they have all opened up, but one got knocked over (by the shrimp, maybe?) and closed up again. Here's the green star polyp! [emoji294]️

Thanks for asking, @cameronh! So nice of you!!

I'm not gonna post a FTS bc it is super ugly looking with hair (and other) algae! [emoji24] But I love it anyway!

I have a tuxedo urchin that I adore. I hope he does ok. This is my second urchin. The first sadly died within a day, so I took longer acclimating this one and I hope he stays well. I've had him almost a week.

I also added what I think are daisy polyps, which I like a lot. I like the movement of them in the flow.

Here's a pic that shows them in the background and the urchin wearing his "hats" (one of which includes a clump of algae) [emoji23]

Just put a small yellow tang in it for two days then give him to a friend=) algae will be gone.
What kind of water are you using for your water changes?

That is a brilliant idea!! I wish I had a fishy friend!! I need some fish friends! [emoji225]

You don't happen to live in Northern CA do you? Lol

I'm using seawater that's been UV sterilized (so the store tells me anyway!).
