Picture taken on 6/1. The Cheato is filling space but is lose. I took them from the old refugium. But in the following pictures it is compacted.
Pictures taken today 7/27. Significantly compacted Cheato compared when I placed the first bunch
The brown tubes that you see are feather duster worms
Those feather dusters are like these ones that I have in the tank
You can see the brown tubes on this picture
