Sorry for not updating my journal, i've not added anything to the tank since my last postings, have been letting the tank settle & mature a little.
Lots of coraline algae starting to grow everywhere, loads of copedods & larger little creatures in their hundreds, we seem to find something new everyday in there now, yesterday we found a cute little slug (did I just call a slug cute?? lol) about 12mm in length, munching some of the algae on the glass, I also found a little baby crab last night, a peachy white colour & very sweet.
Couple of random pics coming up:
The little baby crab is on the middle rock, to the left of the star coral head, not easy to see, he is so tiny, also, I have quite a few of these leaves sprouting out of this piece of rock, any ideas? Good or bad?
And here is a close up of my little turbo snail, he is a real hardworker & is keeping the tank nice & clean almost by himself, the other snail is very lazy.
Other news, unfortunately our second clown fish didnt survive its first few days in the tank
I dont think I will replace him, our little Nemo seems really happy in his own, he feeds from my fingers & I love watching him at night playing in the current from the powerheads, you can almost hear him shouting 'weeeeeeeeeeeeee' as he pulls his fins in to ride the current.
Two of our blue leg hermits have changed to larger shells & our little Mr Krabs has shed his shell. My toadstool coral is growing really well & my star coral seems to have more heads now than it started with, i'm really pleased with my little tank, everything seems really healthy & happy.
Thats about it for an update I think, i'm looking forward to going shopping at the weekend, but dont know what to buy yet, i'm considering some Zoa's, a couple more snails & a new fishie, any suggestions?? I am after a fish which will help to keep down the numbers of little crawling creatures which we seem to have hundreds of.
