With the exception of the disk coral which is behind the Yoyo coral, every coral and fish can be seen in this photo!

Check out the Flickr version of the photo where I’ve identified each species.

Reef Central…

appears to have a very active forum.

Pink Tip Frogspawn Coral

Pink Tip Frogspawn Coral, originally uploaded by tyrsdomain.

The Euphyllia divisia has grown tremendously in the past few weeks. He regularly stretches out to three or four inches during the day and retracts to only an inch or so in diameter at night.

Also of note is that I glued him to a place near the bottom of our tank and he seems to be very happy there. Until I glued him, he would become lopsided during the day and tip over.

Dealing with Green Hair Algae

Interesting article explaining why getting rid of green hair algae can be tricky…

We recently saw a breakout of green hair algae in our tank, although it seems to have come to an equilibrium as of late. We’ve been thinking of getting either a vegetarian crab to help out or a spiny urchin, but I want to do some more research first.

The Idea Behind…

this blog is to track the health and progress of the marine aquarium my family purchased about one month ago…

So far we’ve not been all the good about tracking health of the system (although everything appears to be fine so far), but I plan to do a better job to ensure we don’t get problems into the future!
