Anemones! Lol they all huddled near each other last night for a pic. Bubble coral doing well , stingers coming out due to night time. New urchin has already taken the algae clip for himself

I think they are a must as well lol such funny things. Hoping it’ll help me clean the glass less as well!
Nope. Sorry on the glass cleaning. You will see where they have been though. If I don't clean my glass weekly, there are trails and bites all over the glass where algae is growing.

Aw well I had good hopes , algae getting bad near sand as I’m afraid to bring the scraper near due to possible scratching of glass. Urchin is still welcome tho , you can see the algae near the bottom of glass pretty well in this pic

It's good to give them nori. Mine probably gets enough food, he no longer cares to go after the nori I add.
Fun critters. Much more entertaining if we take time to observe them. They are smarter than we give them credit for.
After adding this coral, he went to see if he could "use" it.

As for algae above sand line. I know the fear of scraping down there.

I’m gonna have to glue my bubble coral , I’ll probly find it on the urchin in no time lol
 
Just did params check :
Nitrate 0-5
Phosphate .07
Alk 9.0
Ph 8.3
Cal 410
decided to run refugium only 8 hours vs 11 I think it’s working too well and took out a lot of chaeto. Weird having low nutrients lol may need to feed more? Or turn refugium down more
 
Fish update: all looking good ! CBB I think is going to make it , doesn’t eat frozen still but always eating something lol

also GBTA split last pic
