In Colorado for the week.

Got some pictures from the house sitter things look colorful still. Excited for new frags coming next week!

 

[Nate Chalk]

Nervous to head home tomorrow. Possible freezing rain and power outages reported. We have a generator. That i have faith in.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Tank is still alive. Not going to do much tonight i cleaned the glass, fed, and quickly assessed if theres any damage. Really only looks like the anacropora wasnt super happy mostly gray with some green . The green slimer still has polyp extension so it may be a placement or lack of feeding. The house sitter only feeds pellets. Will test tomorrow.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Then again the anacropora frag kinda looks like this.

Nepthea... because it's not worth it to see them fight and you are gonna cut that gsp back

Gsp is the aggressor. Leathers are more passive with chemical.

If you want the nepthea you will move it or keep the gsp trimmed. Just be warned both grow quickly and you will need a lot of space between them

is it just a peel back off the rock?
