That Random Nano!

The new Crown Jewel!!

I should probably mention the other new additions, one of which the blenny has taken a liking to, I can’t tell if that’s because of what it’s giving off or if that’s the blenny being predatory.
1. Spongoides SPS

Its neon green and purple under normal lighting I swear.

2. RD Joker Staghorn

It was between this and a regular joker Staghorn. Annoyingly, this is what the blenny keeps biting too, any ideas if Escenius lineatus eats Staghorn in the wild? It completely ignores the other SPS.

Always wondered why you didn’t have a build thread. I’m an idiot lol. Following along

Somewhere in here is a link to my 4’ build thread too, that may be a bit more interesting haha.

This one has just been a fight with Cyano, Dinos, GHA and then a few deaths along the road. The hobby is a rocky road haha!

Okay, this blenny is really getting on my bad side, I left him in the tank to see if his colours would get better and that weird white patch would vanish. Good news is the patch did vanish, bad news is he ate the polyps to my dream coral… Acropora cervicornis. Luckily he’s left the montipora spongoides alone for now, man I’m beginning to hate escenius

Here’s the polyp extension in the spongoides, I guess I’m glad I can get Atleast one of the two SPS to grow and be happy.

I am noticing these asterina starfish in almost every picture!

Yes! They get everywhere and never stop appearing, I have no idea where they get the energy to reproduce and not run out of food sources. The harlequin shrimp may be getting dragged in - Or I could start a farm of them to help others with harlequin shrimp.

and this one as well

A new hitchhiker! I was doing a water change and saw these, they’re beautiful even though they’re dull. Wonder what they are - Still waiting for an ID in a thread I posted a few photos in!

What blenny is that? So I can avoid them like the plague.

Escenius lineatus, I also recommend avoiding Escenius bicolor.

I saw the Griessingers last night - He vanished for a couple days, I assume setting up a new home. Now just to figure out where, I also need to remember I have a small goby already as I keep going back to a White Cap Goby. Wonder how many gobies I could get if I went mainly gobies with two wrasses, maybe that’s a plan when the blenny ends up dying of old age.

Look whose out on guard watch! Tried to get a front on photo but he wasn’t having it and dove back into the rock.

I haven’t seen my Yasha goby in a bout a week - Wondering wether I should wait some more or see if I find a dead body as he is just over 2 years old and their expected life span is 2-3 years old. Usually they live for 2 years, and he wasn’t eating as much - Didn’t even come out for the last couple of feedings.

 

[Miami Reef]

Dang.

 

[i cant think]

Dang.

Still no sign of him - Apparentlt someone saw him yesterday during feeding but I haven’t seen him in his cave in a while

 

[i cant think]

Well, everyone was out even the griessingeri was out. Still no sign of the yasha goby unfortunately. Not even a sign of him being dead or having jumped.

Do you have a clean up crew that is known to eat a carnivorous diet (i.e nassarius snail)?

I have 2 nassarius snails, a conch and 4 trochus snails along with a peppermint shrimp that I don’t think I ever actually introduced into the thread oops.

He emerged!

Also got another photo that shows the elusive but boisterous behaviours in Discordipinna (I’d love to see a filamentosa in captivity and to learn about them after owning their cousin species).
