Hello,

Been meaning to get a video of my girl Tess feeding. She is a very aggressive feeder as you can see!
I can’t figure out how to upload direct fromiPhone , I’m getting a greyed out with slash through play button.Link below not best quality but good enough

it’s also hard to feed and video haha

4 months or so, there was originally 5 but they slowly disappear, they added a lot of movement and lasted a while but then they started going missing, this remaining one had a big bite wound one day but healed. I feel bad about it but I can’t get the damsel out. :/

That is an unbelievable setup and the eel is stunning. I'm trying to get some macros like that so if anyone can ID that would be super helpful

Thank you! Sorry I can’t ID macros I just bought a handful from lfs and reefcleaners. some died quickly and some flourished.

The leaves look a bit too feathery for prolifera. Taxifolia maybe, but there's a whole slew of "feathered Caulerpas". @piranhaman00 , if you have the time, could you send a close up picture of a clipping?
