So I woke up this morning and the new baby was kinda hanging by a powerhead I had turned off. I dropped some of the little pellets in and they were completely ignored, tried a couple of times and he wanted nothing to do with them. So I logged into online school and worried.

Fast forward to 12:30 and I feed the tanks frozen food. He perks up a little and inspects it but doesn’t actually eat it. Dropped a couple more pellets in and he doesn’t even blink. At this point I’m concerned about him eating so I introduce my soon-to-be female flurry clown in a net box. I feed her frozen like usually and she goes nuts eating it, the new baby watches and success! He eats one bite of a tiny piece of the frozen food. I left the female in the tank with him to start the bonding process, as she is less than 1/4 of an inch bigger than him and needed a boyfriend.

2:45 rolls around and I’m off school so I go check on them. The female is freaking out trying to get out of the box and the male is freaking out trying to get in. So, I released the female and observed. I believe they have paired! It’s still super early in the pairing process but I think they hit it off! Here’s some pics! Sorry for the subpar quality, but my camera hates photographing white in a reef tank.

My Zoanthids order came in this morning! It came in early (thank you FedEx!) and everything was great. Packaging was the best I’ve ever seen by far, it was beautiful. The corals came floating upside down in hard containers packing in a styrofoam cooler and packing peanuts. Everything was perfectly labeled, I am very happy! 08D07419-5A4A-4F81-889A-09563DA08507.jpeg

So here’s all the corals (Left to right, top row first) Ketchum, Oingo Boingo, Inception, Zipper Grande, PTE, SuckUp. B2286A40-AC51-4356-8006-FD9037A2C462.jpeg

The zipper grandes really are big, not as big as a cinnamon paly or anything but definitely large. The mystery pack is everything on the top row, and they have an added value of $570!!!! (Ketchum $40, Oingo Boingo $80, and Inception $450) I am ridiculously happy with my purchases and everything is beautiful. Can’t wait for these guys to start popping babies!!!

Edit: the mystery box was actually worth $770 because I got 2 polyps of Ketchum at $40 each and 3 polyps of Oingo Boingo at $80 each. This raises the total value of the order to $1250. I believe that means I got about 600% off retail, I’m ecstatic!

Wow it’s been forever!! Lots and lots of changes, including a full re-aquascape where I took out like 20 pounds of rock. Hope y’all like it! Not too many corals yet, I’m letting it stabilize before I add expensive stuff. Unfortunately, that CSB up and melted on me for absolutely no reason so I’m really upset about that :(

FTS!
