I hope we are successful at that one day!

The Pederson still sits on the trachy, but has decided the Koji Wada is comfy too.

Big booty nudi hasn't been seen in a month. That's the first aipy I've seen. I'll keep my eye on it. Curious if there are nudi babies still in the tank.

Oh I believe you. I have a similar population in the 20-gallon “aiptasia tank” - hence the name. I have some zoas in there that I want to transplant into Pirates Reef. I got a cutting off of them and moved them, but I have been on highly magnified aiptasia watch ever since. Destroyed a couple of tiny interlopers. Don’t want to get those started in PR, but wanted the Purple Hornets in there. I never worried about those nems for more than 10 years when the Copperband was on patrol in the 140. I hope he continues in the 125.

When you take your eye off the ball for 48 hours, the sand behind is about 5 inches deep, gotta love an engineer goby! ;Facepalm

Oh and no it wasn't the frogspawn.

My little transplanted Purple Hornets. Interesting story about these (well to me anyway). I ordered a few polyps online and gradually watched them decline to one polyp and then one of my stupid crabs flipped over the plug and it went unnoticed for quite a while. I picked it up one day and saw that there was just a little speck left of the polyp and it was closed. I tossed it back in the aquarium and a few months later I noticed there were several open polyps and they looked better than ever. Fast forward about a year and now there is a nice colony of about 40+ polyps. I just can’t believe the comeback that one little pitiful polyp made. Glad I didn’t toss out the plug now because I almost did.

Cassie chewed through her leash yesterday while she was 4' away from me and we had a frantic game of old guy chasing an elusive Husky pup around the neighborhood. She finally caught on that she was in big trouble and headed to my back door. I live on a dead-end street, but she initially headed toward the busy 4 lane road at the intersection. Thank goodness I got her turned around.
