The Rollercoaster of Challenges:
- Rockwork Redo: Not once, but twice! First, due to a broken original setup, and the second time, because love at first sight is a real thing for reef enthusiasts.
- Lost Friends: A Helfrichi Firefish bid farewell under mysterious circumstances, possibly a salinity misadventure. Lesson learned!
- Wrasslemania: A 6-line wrasse turned into a 6-line devil, leading to eviction after a series of fish attacks. Peace restored!
- Crabby Business: A green emerald crab went rogue, munching on spellbinders and decimating Pink Constellation Zoas. Banished to the sump, but those Zoas are making a triumphant comeback!
