These are my corals on the move...carried on the back of the urchin. :D

Check out the algae patch on my tank wall, I purposely left it there for urchin to eat but it has left it alone so far. Instead, it almost consumed all my coralline algae on the rock. :(

Till today, the cardinals are still not feeding on mysis or formula one/two pellets. Anyone has tips on how to get them to feed? They always try the food and then spit out. Meanwhile, I think I c

I like flame angel too...but it seems to be known to nip at corals...something I would like to avoid having in the tank. But I'm looking out for potential fish I can keep in this nano.

If it is well fed, maybe it won't, LOL. Anyway flame angels are popular among most reefers, nip or never nip at corals, ppl still keep them. Most species won't nip if they r not hungry but that's just my own opinion.

Yeah, I saw one flame angel in Cedric's tank full of zoas yesterday. That's one big motivation to give it a try. Didn't see any at Irwarna today. Else might not be able to resist the temptation. lol.

This morning found something 'hiding' in one corner of my tank. Looks like a baby of my Rics but I've not seen my Rics so small before. So cannot confirm what it is. Anyway, took it out n glue it on a piece of rock (hopefully won't kill it) n in a betta box now. Tmr flying off liao. Hope it won't die on me.

Oh yay! Nice to know it's a Ric baby. But this baby has now tear itself away from the superglue on the rock and floated itself out of the betta box (my betta box bottom has holes for water circulation). It's now back on the sandbed in between 2 rocks. Should I leave it alone and let nature takes its course or take it out again and glue back to the rock?

If i were u, i will put netting within the betta box, place coral chips in it and put it in low flow area.

This should help the ric to settle down and stick to the coral chip.

A small update. Introducing my developing zoa corner.

First row - small fragments of green zoa dropped from main colony in the 3rd roll. Growing well. Becoming one small round colony now.

Second row - newly acquired from Cedric. 1st is Sunflower with 1 polyp of don't know what (forgot the name). 2nd is African Blue Hornet, not yet open. 3rd is a pink zoa which I also forgot the name.

Third row - remaining of my previous zoas colony. The polyps are growing back. Looking good for them.

Had a small disaster today. Was on leave and received a call from colleague that my sump is overflowing. Quickly asked her to off my pump and chiong back to office. Turned out that the return pump hose got disconnected from the pump. So it created a little fountain in my sump. Luckily lost only 3 cups of water.

I better get a hose fastener to prevent similar incident from happening.
