DAY 41

These photos were taken using my Nikon camera using Night Landscape mode. It still doesn't show the colours of the corals under actinic lights. The last photo was taken using the iphone 5. Even though it doesn't show the true colours, but at least it isn't entirely blue.

DAYS 39-40

Now everything I feed Sunny and the pink Suns, it becomes a feeding frenzy for Felicia the elusive Fire Shrimp, Chris the Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, the Sexy Shrimps, Penny the Pom Pom crab and even the Nassarius snails. All the shrimps learnt to station themselves next to the Sun Corals and snatch whatever mysis shrimps that they can land their hands, oops I mean, claws on immediately after I feed them. Next to the pink sun are some unknown purple sponges? Only time will tell what they are. Today I even spotted a small crab, which probably hitch-a-hike from the other corals that I am temporarily holding here before introducing them to my office tank.

Yes, my colleague bugged me to start a new pico reef in the office and that was what I did. We started one just a couple of days ago and there is now Franco the Clown Fish with two feather duster fan worms. I will be bringing the Jasmine Polyp that I kept in the breeding container shown here soon.

By the way, the 16th photo onwards were taken using my iphone 5. From one of the photos, Coco can be seen growing out 2 new crowns. Thanks goodness!

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.
