Reefer, the legal kind
Well, been a while since I've posted an update to the reef, so here you go.
I've recently added a few new critters, for starters my Lettuce Nudibranch (sea slug) who gets the important job of eating pest algaes. Unfortunately he likes to spend most of his time doing daredevil acts such as current surfing and trying to climb inside the water flow exhaust against the current like here:
I've also recently added a Peppermint Shrimp to eat some of my small pest anemones called Aiptasia, but he is also a slacker and is still getting used to me. My fire shrimp used to be shy, and now crawls all over my arm the second it comes into the water and loves to be hand fed, so I'm sure the Peppermint will follow suit in no time. Right now his favorite thing to do is hang upside down in his cave and lean back and forth like he has OCD. Here's a pic of it:
The Royal Gramma and Fire Shrimp still tolerate eachother and even posed together for a shot:
I've also gotten some new corals including this Gorgonian the Fire Shrimp is still fascinated by:
A new large polyped coral called a Watermelon Blastomussa:
And lastly, a new neon chartreuse Palythoa I got in a trade...only myself and one other guy have them, and I could only imagine the money it could bring on eBay:
