Updates + Highlights:

Momma Percula has been super aggressive. She does not like to share w/ the new guests

CBB is a curious fellow. Also maybe even more aggressive eater than my last CBB

Fiji Yellow Leather (Sarcophyton Elegans)

This one is special and deserves its own post. There are a lot of "Fiji Yellows" coming out but if it aint like this, it aint it. I can guarantee this one is the real deal. Proud to have such a gem in the collection.

ORA Neon Goby Update:

Blue Cleaner Goby got moved to the 180g downstairs since it was beating up the Yellow Cleaner Goby. I always wanted both cleaner gobies in the same tank but fighting will not be tolerated. Grabbed some quick shots on my phone before it got the boot.

It sucks that they couldn't play nice together. It definitely would have been cool to have both in the same tank.

Despite all the roadblocks that I document on this build thread, the tank is truly thriving. I hope you enjoy :)
How do you have the mangroves secured?

Sad Update: Freak Accident

What a sad way to lose this specimen… Came home after a late night out around 3am, when I turned on the lights in my room, must have startled the white tail causing it to smash into the glass twice then swam directly into the mp10 at 70% which shredded it..
