This is from the front, my desk chair is about 4 feet from the coral.
I was looking at this from my chair and couldn't figure out why it looked different!
Old damage and that tip always has algae on it so looks fluffy, something must have cleaned it I thought.
... is in the process of cleaning it!

If the echinata ever colours back up it is very pretty!

Due to having a pair of T5s out I keep getting "Yellow" light phases, very annoying.

 

[najer]

I think my leopard wrasse jumped, I have searched, at evening feed time so I had the cover slightly open!

I guess I don't expect y'all to listen to the whole thing but ...?

Stuff, really annoyed at the cherub again, it is past it's last warning, I am currently trying to isolate it in the cube.
My flasher wrasse has been hiding for over a week now, I saw it for about 20 seconds last evening before the cherub chased it back into the scape.
I'll get a pic in a bit of it's cave, I can see it all the time!

Gotta sleep somewhere right?!

This is the one that shed it's flesh, all very strange!

Fuzz ball monti, we have a new polyp!
You can't see the flesh on most of it, pic in a bit from the desk end, this is right by the cave the wrasse is in.

Ok, anyone expecting pretty pics of the convict tang look away, I have been trying for days to get pics.
I guess you can see how stoved in the face is!
Yes I risked my tank for one fish and yes the tank is struggling a bit, because I don't qt I don't have an isolation tank, I will take pics of it's pretty side, my little phantom of the opera!

looks like its healing? I don't see any redness in the pictures

Thanks and yes no red or pink.
It looks awful and the gill cover is slightly deformed, the edge of the mouth is deformed also, I will try for a pic again later.

Scars and imperfections make us, and them, beautiful!

This is why I wanted a better pic, as you said it's not about the looks, I now know there is a hole.
That gill cover is working about half as well as the good one and I am concerned about gill damage, it is compensating and the good side is obviously working harder.
The mouth damage has deformed the shape of the snout, grazing well though.

It is acting like it's pesky self!

That poor thing, hopefully the hole will heal over in time.. does look like the infection is completely gone.

I poured a bottle of antibacterial stuff in, I know right go mr natural, the tank is mostly ok but it was only recovering from the cycle by the fish and a bad test kit, go me!
Because I don't qt I don't have a running backup in place, soon to be rectified, I was never going to let a fish in my care suffer and die so I guess I risked the tank?!
It's my little phantom of the opera fish, as long as it is healthy I'm happy.

 

[najer]

Oh and the pic I forgot to take yesterday.
This is the fuzzy monti from the desk end, the hole behind is the cave the flasher wrasse is in!
I promised a frag of the monti to a friend but don't want to cut it!

Yes I cringed when you treated your display.. lol, seems it was effective and fairly gentle on your tank, nicely done

 

[Retro Reefer]

double post.. Sorry

There were a few discussions had, a bottle treats 440 litres water volume, I am about 550 water, the tank has looked better but the little fish seems ok!
