DAY 14

Everything remained pretty much the same and the snails were busy grazing. 

Claudia was swimming all around the tank and sometimes  diving straight at the GSP as if it was a bed of anemones. It must be under stress because it was either refusing to eat or has bad smell or eyesight because she never feed on the fish food or Mysis shrimps which I added to the tank. The Xenia still looked terrible and a few of the orange Rhodactis were detached from the skeleton and settled on the sand and amongst the mini Zoas.

It took me about 4 hours to feed Sunny but it didn't quite seem to eat much. I literally had to take a tweezer and pushed the Mysis shrimps into its mouth but it took forever to swallow even one shrimp. I would have to try tonight again to ensure it is eating.

DAY 8

I visited the Sago Lane aquarium again with the intention to look out for the Aiptasia medication to eradicate it but couldn't find it. My hunt for it continues!

Instead, there were lots of beautiful Bubble Coral, Tree Coral, Zoanthids, hard corals and even an Emerald Crab. Unfortunately, all the pieces of corals look too big for my pico tank. I was worried about the Bubble Coral stinging others around it, so I didn't buy it too.

In the end, I bought an Orange Rhodactis mushroom  rock which I fell in love with when my eyes first settled on it, a relatively large Green Zoanthid and two different types of Feather Duster Worms. I did a freshwater dip for the the first two before introducing it into the aquarium. Well, I am giving it some time to recover from the shock but fed it a concoction of AquaPharm Pro-Series sea plankton, Marine Snow and Aqua Medic Plancto and see how they respond to the feeding.
