Thank you! ^_^ I can in fact remove all the rock-scape easily. It's only 2 big hunks. Honestly, I think the macro algae is going to need trimmed long before I have to touch the coral, lol.

Thank you, I have seen those, I'm just cheap and prefer to elbow-grease it myself. I may cave if my algae ever goes crazy though, lol

Thank you!! Great to have an ID, too. :D He's just been grazing on the glass since I put him in. I didn't even know he was alive...I scolded my mom, who hadn't even seen him. Even if he eats some of my cloves, it won't hurt anything. I haven't cleaned the glass in weeks...I have lots of spots...

Here are some pictures from last night, introducing my new sea star who hitchhiked home on a seashell from a beach trip...tsk, tsk. Back view:

Thanks guys. :D I still haven't gotten my coral food, so honestly I haven't fed the vase apart from a few freshwater shrimp, squished up. (Probably why the hermits went after my coral.) I change the water once a week, 100% if I feed, 2 hours after whenever I feed. Otherwise I let it go. I top...

Not the best pictures, but it's maturing nicely! I pulled the hermits a few days ago for eating my mushroom...naughty crabs! Back to the store you go!

Thank you both. I didn't, I got it from Goodwill along with another one virtually identical to it. It was under $3, and there was actually a third I left behind, haha. It's a vase Walmart carries in stores. Should be about $10 new. :

Thank you! the macro screws with my blues...but I suppose I'll just have to suffer it's presence. :P

Please forgive the salt creep and unhappy mushrooms! The poor mushrooms were removed from their plug and dropped repeatedly while attempting to place them on a rock...lol. Other than just now, they have been very happy. I picked up some clove polyps, as you see...My theme is entirely blues...

Thanks everyone!! It's still doing well this morning, so I'm pretty happy. Think it's time to add the CUC...I've spotted some hair algae. Noooo. See, I open it multiple times a week, so there's never really a chance for anything to buildup. It's mainly there to prevent evap and splashing all...

My first coral! A cute lil mushroom. I know it's really too early for coral, but I had some rats to get rid of, and I traded them for this guy (Sort of. It was more like he felt he had to compensate me for the rats. :P I raise snakes, you see.) So we'll see if he lives!!

That was quite awesome. :D

(I'm sorry, I really am, I agree with what you're trying to say here, but....bahahaha....)

IMO, it looks prettier every day. :D I used a piece of aluminum foil as a lid yesterday. It was PERFECT, until a little voice in the back of my head told me to google the effects of Aluminum on living creatures...so yeah. Cling wrap it is, lol. I hope it works! I have a marble and a little...

Tentatively ID'd my first critter! Think it's an Amphipod of some sort. :D (Again, dead center of the screen, look close) She's SOO cool. (This I see eggs of some sort on it's belly)
