Get a speed light (flash) !!!

My general lens is a 16 - 35 nikon zoom, I traded a wide angle for it, the auto focus doesn't work so fish pics are not a priority.
I won't use flash on the tank.

I usually use 100mm or 50mm for fish photos , with flash

I bought this from under someone's nose, 2 of us tried to convince her to buy it, she said no.
I don't want to frag it but I said I'd do her one, no rush!
I will take it off the other side so I can't see it missing!

I have a pink that after a year it started branching and now is dropping twigs all over.

The lfs was clearing out some softies as they have an import due in, leathers at £25 each.
I have been working on my fragging technique, these six were made from two pieces with only 2 cuts, I now have 6 mini colonies waking up, the flat purple ones looked like they had green polyps.

I couldn't figure out why these were all looking off colour, dark, this is from the front, the T5 that is out above them is a coral plus.
Ballast gone and I can't afford the new light currently!

I have been watching this unfold over the past week, cave gobies, plural, they tag team, I have moved 4 or 5 corals now, one of the rescue lobos this morning, i watched the big one fell it!
It is like it is mined and I'm fornicated!

My new sandbed!

I just caught the spotted mandarin, it is now in the s tank, it won't go hungry in there, I will continue to try and catch the little terrorist mandarin and she will be going back to the lfs.
I found the little red leather frag that went walk about and that is back on it's bit of rubble to settle again.

Got the baby angel, decided to put it in the display in the end, no issues.

... and whilst I was chatting the delivery from the local wholesaler arrived.
As soon as I saw this large bag come out of the poly box my jaw dropped!
I looked around and my mate who does most of the buying was grinning at me!
If I need to ask I can't afford it, he gave me about 20% off.
9 or 10 inch piece I guess, been after a piece (not this big) for a year or so, they would have fragged it which would have been such a shame.
I will frag it at some point, already promised a frag to a mate.
Now just to figure out where to put it!

Nothing chewed it or ate it or even really gave it a hard time, I need to get angel 2 moved into the display and then there will be four angels!

Just reserved 10 packs of copepods to pick up tomorrow, not that the tanks are short but I do like to top up every few months!

Pics tomorrow, currently looking at a fuzzy white thing but the T5s are all off so my camera doesn't compute!

Flame angel, venust something and baby cherub all in, I forgot the name of the other one soon to be in, also bought as a baby but bought on in the s tank, that might be the bonfire addition, all good so far.

Spider sponge?

Yes, I did some reading before, did loads today, I knew I needed to care take of the sponge, having understood the zoa side more, this needs fragging hard and if possible zoas removed, there are lot of branches being strangled and the tips need clearing so it can breath properly.
Now I understand it better it should be easier to care for, sponges I can do and feeding isn't a problem!
