Reef A


The furry 'shrooms are growing and every once in a while one ends up pushed off the rock. Some could be cut and removed but have not wanted to risk it - yet anyways.
The Sea Star is new. Traded some soft corals with lfs in Beaverton, OR. The sales rep did not know much about this species but stated this was the healthiest they had rec'd.

Reef A

The Hydnophora has not been opening completely since the tank was covered by egg crate for a week during vacation. There was no one available to feed the critters during that week. Both Cleaner shrimp died which was a sad loss!!

Reef B


Photo of the entire reef. The Yellow Tang still hides if one gets close to the tank. However, it will also attack using its tail to get one away from its lair!!

Reef B


Note the amount of Halimeda in which the Black Cap Basslet roams and hides. The Xenia in this tank is the dominate Cnidarian on this reef.
