Since I put the live rock in back last summer, several of my long-spine black urchins have grown from dime size to baseball size. I pulled three of the four larger ones for fear of them starving each other. Over the last couple of months, I have lost the Midas Blenny and one of the Chromis. Thinking it was the red brittle starfish, I pulled one of them as well which brings the total number of stars in the tank to 3. If I lose another fish, the serpent starfish is getting pulled (the carnivore of the group).

Thanks, Nano. The trumpet took some time to settle into the tank. I lost two heads to end up having three grow out of one of the skeletons

Today's pic is of the Peach Digitata coral. It has been growing well in the tank. The white tips are new skeletal growth. The piece in the back is the original. The piece in the forefront broke off from the original at the center.

Thanks, Wrangy. The digi is doing surprisingly well.
Yes, Mdk16, still running the LEDs around 60%.
Ok, so the Maroon Goldstripe clown in the forefront is out of focus because (soon to become a she) decided to photobomb. The cool thing about this pic is the amount of different livestock in the pic. Starting in the top left corner and going clockwise: Spotted Cardinalfish, juvenile Maroon Goldstripe Clownfish, Acropora coral, Gorgonian coral, Red Tree Sponge, Trumpet coral.

Jolly good morning, all, and happy weekend. An interesting pic of the Flame Saddleback Dwarf Angel peeking out over the Trumpet coral. The Maroon Goldstripe Clownfish appear to be hosting the Trumpet but the Angel doesn't like to give up its old hiding spot.

Are you getting a rumble in the (coral) jungle between the two - 'and in the blue and orange corner we have......'

The Angel and the Clowns were added at the same time. The smaller of the clowns started "hosting" the Trumpet coral and the angel would occasionally chase it out, but now the other clown has joined in and they are being left alone.
One thing that was interesting to watch was how the semi-aggressive nature of the Royal Gramma was squashed when the angel and clowns were added. Now, they are all playing nice (except at feeding time).
