Is that a scooter blenny I spy? What are the fish?
Dragon Goby, yellow striped fang blenny, and a Clown tang. They are all in QT, just gonna observe instead of prophylactic copper treatment.

Shopping for some reliable frag putty and I'll be building a Zoa garden when I get some.

And then itll be time to lock down the rest of my frags across the rockwork now that I have seen a good response from them all over the last month. Unless I find a crazy deal on lights the center of the rockscape will remain mostly barren besides gorgs and dendros.

Happy saturday all.

The Hynopora pic looks a little bit like a skull and the PC Rainbow a little bit like a gargoyle.

Nice stuff!

Can you show more pics of your hydnopora? Looks cool
Its definitely unique. The frag rack is out of a good focus range for my phone... I moved it up on the rockwork to take this pic and then put it back.

New pieces are niccce. Zoa gardens are awesome I wish my rock was bigger they are stuffed tight but still cool
Thanks. Excited to see if I can grow a higher end stick like the ORA Red Planet. We shall see...

Once I get the placements and colors spread how I want for the zoa rock I'll share a pic and track progression monthly. Should be pretty colorful, I hope.

Couldnt stay in bed with the new fish in QT. Got the light on and started feeding. All 3 attended for and all ate some pellets.

As expected, the Dragon Goby is very shy and laying low, but I did confirm it eating. As for the other two... well... let's just say they are much more interested in all the new stuff to check out. :)
