Re: My first Reef: Music Man

Well it's been about 6 months now the only major change I made so far is the change in clownfish, my pink skunk somehow jumped out of the 3X5 access hole in the top of the tank and dried up on my filters, I replaced it with a yaong false perc. and another blue Chromis, they wont hold still long enough for a picture but some of the other stuff in there is here are some shots of the hitchikers I have gotten with my LR.

I have decided to post some of these under the hitchhiker page to try to find a identity on some of them. like this first that I suspect is a turf algae. I had to tear the LR apart to get at this fella but I made it.


next is a group of so far unidentified SPS.

another view


moving on I found a anemone growing behind the LR in the rear under low lighting in the sand bad I disturbed it moving the rock around and now it's attached itself to the rock in a nice spot up front, there are nice rich bright purple tips on each tenticle.

another view.


here is a clump of what appears to be a SPS but I can't be sure it is so tiny. I actualy thought it was just coraline algae on the tip of a piece of dead frag but then one day it bloomed into what you see in the photo.

Finaly I found some Zoos poking out of the rock and have not been able to get a good shot they only seem to open up at night, if you look closely there is one that is open in the background of the photo. and in the foreground is a mushroom that seems to be quite an evesive species as I now have about 20 of them sprung from nowhere.


And last but not least a clump of Caulpera that started from under some LR it grows extreemly fast as much as 1" per day to each tip so I have needed to remove some already but it is easy enough to remove.


There is one fellla I cant photograph because it keeps hiding under the LR but it is an Oyster of some sort about 1" and less than 1/4" thick, I moved it out into the open a couple times to watch it but it keeps sneaking off, should I leave it alone?
