DAYS 54-59

These are more random photos of the aquarium. Sunny was puffing up but turned grumpy the last days when it toppled several times after I changed the layout.

Finally, the new Green Star Polyps also opened up.

DAYS 36-38

These are more photos of the red and blue mushrooms, Sunny after feeding and Felicia hiding in the corner. 

I don't know how well Calvin is doing though since at times he sends out its yellow feeders but today he seemed kind of shrunk up.

Here I also posted photos of the red Sea Grape, brown macroalgae, pink sun and Green Clove Polyps colony that I bought.

I still don't quite like the overall colours and somehow I feel it lacks some green, especially when most of the green Zoas have been closed for some time. I am not sure if its because of the frequent trampling by the Sexy Shrimps though. I am thinking of getting some large colourful button polyps and am looking out for where to get them.

DAYS 27 AND 28

It's almost the end of the month soon and before I list down all the live stock I have in this pico aquarium of barely 27 litres, I will post more photos of them in my small tank.

Penny has become bolder and has been seen venturing out into the open more often now, especially when the Sexy Shrimps are blatantly swinging their butts all the time.

I just pity the mini Zoas and mushrooms because now they get trampled all over all the time.

Coco is opening up beautifully, I must say. Oh, I think I have been neglecting Claudia for a while and haven't been paying much attention to her despite her efforts of sashaying across the waters all the time. She too, appears to be hosting the single red mushy amongst the mini green Zoas.

By the way, I feel very freaked out by the Nassarius snails because they glide at incredible speeds across the aquarium. When I fed Sunny yesterday, one of them appeared out of nowhere and climbed all over it. After feasting on Sunny's food, the detritus eating snail went back into its hiding place in the sand and sent out its long proboscis, like an alien's probe out of the sand. I tell you, their behaviour is creeping me out.

Looking at all these, I feel tempted to do a 1.5 ft tank instead so that I can house more stuff.

DAY 25

This was how Sunny looked after a grueling feeding session by me right into the wee hours of the morning.

DAY 24

It was after many days of target feed that I managed to get Sunny to be more opened and receptive to the Mysis Shrimps I fed it. I wonder how long more would it take to get it to open up fully?

DAY 21

I discovered a stowaway on my tank when I saw a small clam-like creature crawling across the glass slowly. Well, I have no idea what it actually is.

Penny decided to come out of hiding and was busy sweeping it's fans in the water. Chris has also become more bold and started stealing food that I fed Sunny. It had been an arduous task feeding Sunny, sometimes for hours on end, when it didn't readily open up despite the presence of food.
