Reef B

A new Six-line Wrasse. It has been flitting around so fast that it has been very difficult to get its photo. It has been gorging itself from something(s) on the live rock. It has also been noticed occasionally pecking on this colony of Pocillopora but it does not seem to be doing any damage The coral has a small crab living at its base. It is even more camera-shy!

Reef B

This Mandarin awakens very early to begin its hunt for food. It spends most of the time on the prowl all over the reef. It appears to be finding enough to eat. It recently recovered from several frayed fins.

Reef B

The Mandarin recently had frayed fins but today it appears to have recovered. It is up very early hunting its plankton. It stays on the move constantly. It is however, easily side-tracked by its own reflection in the sides of the tank.

Reef B

This leather coral has suffered greatly from the hypersalienty (around 1.039). It is making a gradual comeback. The competition with the algae Caulerpa is likely not helping much either.

Reef A

Behind the gorgonian is another new frag of acro. It has very small light green polyps.

Reef A

The orange coral is a capricornis frag. It has shown considerable growth since the the salienty was brought to WNL. The Xenias require very frequent trimming.

The acro in the center is new. A trade for frags about a week ago.
