That was my initial guess too from the blurry picture. Solon/Solorensis The second shots swayed me though.

He refuses to sit still when I get close to the tank. Still stressed. But confident and eating fine. Restarted my clock on QT for the Anthias and Firefish. 30 more days of observation and then a final round of prazi before I bring them in.

Yea it’s a lubbocks.

 

[Hemmdog]

I have HIGH Hopes for this Gem. You can see the stripes of orange/pinks and greens starting to come through. Every day it gets stronger and colors up more. Excited.

After feeding:

Daily nem going to sleep pic:

Beautiful Nem!

Beautiful Nem!

That is a coral from the Brain family, its' nickname is a "Lobo" but it eats like an anemone

100% ?

 

[Hemmdog]

100% ?

If it was $20 most likely. They are fairly decent priced. It looks like it. The video I could see a yellow top fin like a lubbocks, I’d say 85% lubbocks, possibly something more exotic. It’s not a solorensis though, that’s 100%.

I think Lubbock's is right. A young’n. Tail spot will disappear and should turn more pink/purple/blue.

@Paul C.

Ready to come see the reef in person and dump ur pods into the fuge in person?!?!

I think it's time for Iso, nano, and some of your detritus dyson's.

I figured u just had a new culture finish yesterday?

@Raege Are you ready for more phyto yet? Could all meet at ur house if so.

 

[Raege]

Will be ready for some this coming weekend

 

[Paul C.]

Hey, gentlemen. Hope all is well with you guys. Been crazy busy with work. I apologize for the silence.

We are still playing with our process to find the perfect mix to produce the darkest phyto we can. It looks like I will have a fresh batch of Iso and nanno available next weekend. Iso continues to give us trouble. Pods are always available. So, if you guys would like to meet up next weekend, I'm in. Whatever works for you guys, just let me know.

Ray, I have not forgotten about that Aquripure filter. I worked 7 days last week, and just didn't have any gas left in the tank to come see ya. It will be in the car tonight if you'd like me to drop it off tomorrow.

Chat soon my friends.

Sounds good. Not sure they will survive juvenile state without phyto, so I'll wait for the next culture round.

 

[Paul C.]

Hey Rich. This batch of Iso looks promising. In the past, if it was going to crash it would have by now. Fingers crossed. Pod's feast on Nanno as well. Our grow out tanks are fed both. Really depends on what we have on hand.

When u have jerks, u get bigger jerks to keep the little jerks in check.
