Just wait till your a bit further on and your rock and sand leach nutrients back in the water column and you’ll be asking how to remove them haha

I also have a ruby head fairy, one of my favourite fish

Careful those clove polyps don’t get on the rock ( which they will) as you’ll have a hard time getting them off when they spread

What’s the red coral? It’s stunning

Hammer looks ok , don’t see torch or froggy

Keep adding the coral foods but if you can spread them out to 4 smaller feeds than one big you have a better chance of 0 readings less throughout the day

It’s a carpenters flasher but yes very pretty fish we both have. Red coral in the back is a st Thomas mushroom! Was the first coral I got. Torch in the first photo behind the acan. Frogspawn is in the light out photo in the very centre surrounded by the hammers lol
