This acro is finally beginning to develop blueberry tips (click on the picture for a larger view).

The green coral is a Endive Hydnophora (Horn coral). It has recently developed some black spots that appear to be growing. The problem is that it is growing on a large piece of live rock along with other corals so it would be impossible to remove it for closer examination and possible treatment. In that case, if whatever it is continues its attack, it will be necessary to remove one or more healthy frags and start new colonies.

The Banggai Cardinal spends most of the day light hours in this corner. At night it is an active hunter on very small prey.

The Royal Gramma backed into one of its hiding places.

The Yellow Tang is very shy about having its picture taken!!

Taken as a close-up from the right side. Yesterday the return pump from the sump refused to restart after having been shut-down for feeding. Another pump had to be installed. The pump that failed was a Rio 1200. It was removed and cleaned but still would not start so a Hagen 802 powerhead was adapted to take its place. The later pump has a much lower flow rate so it may have some affect on the corals.
