This colony of M. capricornis was removed as it was being shaded by a colony of Pocillopora and Xenia. The edges were bleaching as it appears to continue. No polyps are extending. The coral may be dead. Two frags were cut and placed in other areas of the tank some months ago. The colony lowest in the tank appears healthy.
This reef has quite a few white limpets but they have not been observed feeding on any Cnidarians.

Reef A

Left of the lower clown fish is an Acro unk species which appears to be doing well. The Hydnophora has grwon considerably since the frag was put in this spot. It is not as filled-out as a previously owned coral of this genus. To the left is a species of Pocillpora. The areas at the base are shaded as the colony has grwon and now appear dead.

Reef A

These zoes came in a colony of bright green zoes but have long since crowded out the bright green ones. They are located in the center near the bottom.

A green Pocillopora growing on the overflow wall of Reef A. The coralline has grown over most exposed surfaces,

Three clown fish in the bag waiting to be released.

New clown fish seem to like hanging around the xenia.

New clown fish just brought home this afternoon. The neon gobies were very curious about them.

This is the part of my shipment going into Reef B.
About once a year a shipment is ordered from Reeftopia in Key West.

The small Peppermint shrimp will go in the sump to control Aiptasia.
The bottom left is a small goby (one of two).
Everything is being introduced by the drip method.

With the two new Emerald crabs there are now a total of four. The hope is that they will get the Valonia under control.

A colony of Strawberry tunicates with some zoes and colonial sea squirts attached. They have been here for about two days but are still not opening. The "nose test" does not indicate decay so perhaps there is still hope.
