Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

And then there was one... I think we had a Highlander situation happen. There can be only one...

That red at the base of the tail is weird. Almost like a “Anus cancer” if fish can even get that[emoji23]

Hahaha.
It looks a lot like a bacterial infection to me, but it doesnt show up until they die... so I can't say for sure that's the cause of death. I did see a few scales missing or loose on this second one, and the larger one chased it a few times that I witnessed. I'm leaning towards bullying as the cause for my losses.

That stinks... Hopefully MacLeod pulls through!

If this last one makes it, you just named him.

I just got my yellow clown goby. My lfs keeps mine qt for a couple of weeks. They are great. As promised

I'm sorry Robin. It's how reds are. Eat or be eaten.

SashimiTurtle · Nov 24, 2017

I've been looking for a clown goby. Maybe later when I have an actual colony of something.

Katrina71 · Nov 24, 2017

I think we'll need to do that today. He can't go nameless.

I think we need to start picking out bits of the scape and provide ideas people!

How is the lone savior.

sfin52 · Nov 25, 2017

I’ll leave the sps to the ones who have kept them before. I’ll learn from you guys.

I moved a few pieces of SPS over... they didn't like it. At all. Pretty sure I lost a few. Duncans, trumpet and Sympodium are happy. Acans are kinda ticked still, but they'll get over it. Birds nest, stylo and pocci is still colored up, but very little polyp extension as of yesterday, Pocci and purple birds nest looks the best. They'll take a few days to adjust. I forgot I had the lights at 100% on this tank, and I was still working everything up to that amount of light on the frag tank. Everything looked great until the next morning, then... white. We'll see what hangs on and what bit the dust. I'm gonna focus on LPS for now, get the tank matured real good then slowly add more SPS. I might end up being completely happy with just montipora, stylophora, seriatopora and poccilopora. Acropora have been kicking my rear.

MacLeod is doing well. He is The Highlander...

Still looking for your votes... what kinds of corals do we need and where are we putting them? No softies(unless they are just crazy super cool), nothing crazy invasive like GSP, and nothing really aggressive that'll throw out 20 foot long sweepers.

Lightning bolts shooting out of it's fingertips is completely acceptable tho...
