The 5 foot build… It’s happening!!

[i cant think]

If you’ve ever photographed tiny wrasses you’ll know how much they love to just dart around. Here’s the best photo of the DT so far.

Came home with a new coral! This time, a Hellfire Torch. I love how hypnotic this one is with the perfect spread of gold, red/brown, and green.

And I’m hoping to move over the tiger hammer soon… unfortunately one slight issue occurred with the Orange Hammer Colony as it had BJD. I’m hoping I’ve caught it in time and was able to prevent it any further but I did lose 2 heads - 1 already died and 1 was dying.
Hopefully it survives and grows again.

Well, some more hammers have been moved from the nano. There is now only 2 left in the nano;
The Orange Colony and the Rainbow Splatter. These two have been left in the tank simply to recover more.

And I think I have to admit it, I’m addicted.
I’ve come home with yet another wrasse, this time a sand sleeper of the Anampses genus.

Okay fine, the suspense has been enough… here’s the reveal of the species. Anampses twistii!!

Nice!

Nice!

Thankyou, hopefully she does well as she’s an overall healthy specimen.

Citric acid arrived today so my plan is to throw my wave makers into it. Currently have the nano’s wave maker in citric acid and once that’s done I’ll put this tank’s into it.

Well, it’s been a while since seeing this guy open in the 4’ tank but since being in this 5’ tank he seems to love it! He opens at least twice a week currently.

What is he?

What is he?

It’s the Chilli Coral, well half of the colony I fragged, the other half is on the opposite side of the tank but also opens every so often.
Here’s a better photo when I first got it in July last year.

She’s up! Surprisingly early too. Not a good photo at all but it’s the best of the ones I managed. Hopefully she’s out later as well.

Day 2 in the tank, out doing her thing, and she has a name! Twister the Twistii Wrasse.

I couldn’t resist them…

These will be my last wrasses until a Kaleidos Pencil comes in. But until then, I’m going to be focusing on coral and potentially removing the Jade.

I also came home with a few bits of coral - i believe it’s all SPS.

Unless something else comes around before then and then maybe another 1 or 2...

Well, honestly after seeing me say to myself several times no more until the Kaleidos comes in and yet still getting more it’s most likely going to be that case.

These guys went in and look gorgeous! The Gold Nugget may actually come and hang with them now - The twistii definitely seems to love swimming with them.

I keep telling myself I am done adding stuff to my tank also, and yet, I keep adding more. In the last week I have added 3 wrasse's and another yuma mushroom, not to mention I have a Chocolate Mimic Tang at LFS in QT right now. He's been at the store a week so far, looks great and is eating well. I'm going to give him a few more days of relaxation before I add him to my system.

Those fish, OMG, Gorgeous! I'm a little jealous of your Fish @i cant think .

I’d love a Black Leopard. Another on the list if I ever go for another leopard - I now own 3 true leopards in total and have 1 that is lumped in as a leopard (the Gold Nugget Wrasse).
