Cthulukelele's hodgepodge softy and anemone 120g

[Cthulukelele]

More than a year and a half with no major inverts, coral or fish losses. Everything taking off. Scraping purple every week. Less and less hair algae each month. It feels so good when things are just working. Really feeling pride these days. The Koji wada my favorite coral is flourishing.

Again no big news. Corals getting big! Everything growing like crazy. All fish still happy and healthy. Might try to remove the anemone crowding my finger leather, but it's a finger leather and it's probably doubled in size since last update just opens less when getting stung. In particular the waving hand anthelia, gorgonian, finger leather, and Koji Wada have TAKEN OFF. Will need to start trimming some of those soon ( not the Koji if it was the whole tank I'd be happy pics don't do it justice). Still waiting for when I'll have to give the sad passing news for my old yellow watchman. Got him almost 7 years ago and he was full grown then, so he has to be like 9 or 10, but honestly he's still thriving with great color and probably looks the healthiest he's ever been. Gotta cherish this last year or 2.

Foxface has realized it can eat tank algae so now there's barely any tank algae and the foxface has had a huge growth spurt. This strengthens my belief that young herbivores don't really do much cleaning (my young tomini didn't either), but the young ones also tend to acclimate better in my experience. Tomini is the chillest fish ever now after being kinda a butthead for a year or 2.

Pitho crabs getting really big after a year and a half. Only comes out once brightest lights switch off otherwise is either fully or 90% submerged in sand all day. Voracious algae eater at night
