The basslet and firefish are in view. The gorgonian frag was added yesterday.
A close-up of the3 Furry Mushrooms in Reef B. They appear to be doing fine but have not reproduced; there are 8 'shrooms in total.
Reef B:
This system seems to do well with gorgonians so two were fragged and attached yesterday. They opened shortly after being glued in place.
The Acro that was in this spot died and this is a frag of the Acro from Reef B. It shows some light pink on the tips. It is the one SPS coral that is doing well under PC lighting, a total of 285 watts.
Reef A: a cabbage leather appearing to be expanding in its territory.

This is probably one of the most attractive fish I have ever owned. It is wary but curious.
Reef B: A Black-Capped Basslet rec'd on Jul 3rd. At first it hid behind the reef for several hours. Today it readily took Formula One flakes.
They constantly seem to want to make contact. When one wonders off it always makes it back to its mate in a very short time. BTW this pair did not come in as a pair on July 3rd.
Reef A: Neon Goby pair exploring a cave perhaps as a future site for a nest. They have not been interested in food just courtship (or so it appears).
Pair of Neon Gobies sticking together like glue.

Neon gobies arrived today. Their behavior would seem to indicate that they are a potential breeding pair. They are constantly together, often rubbing each other and crossing their bodies. They are slightly behind the Pagoda coral (which resemble the coral heads they occupay in the Caribbean).
In the center is the Endive Hydnophora showing growth.
Reef A: Taro tree coral - with the outdoors reflected in the background.
