It has been a while since the last update. So here goes.
All the fish are fine. One of the Anthias is getting bigger than the others and has developed a longer front section to its dorsal fin so I'm wondering if she will change sex to a male. The gobies don't seem to be permanently co-habiting. Some days they are sharing a burrow and some days they are in their own burrows at either end of the tank. The new, smaller one has grown and is now the same size as Mr Grumpy. I think Mr Grumpy has a brighter red patch on its anal fin but it is getting difficult to tell them apart.
I went shopping last weekend to my favourite long distance LFS. They had some great stock as usual but I came away with an anemone crab, a tuxedo urchin and a new clam. Here are the first two.
The crab has taken up home in my red bubble-tip anemone but comes out when the food goes in.
The urchin has stayed on the right hand rock pile so far. It is doing a job on the coraline alage but not sure it is touching the green 'macro' algae I have there.
The clam is in a protective cage at the moment as my copperband showed too much interest in it when I put it in the tank. We will have to see how that goes.....
Happy reefing,
Dave
How is the tank going?
