@Apon How’s this for polyp extension? Not sure how it looks for you. No visible pulsing. Does yours have tons of light?

Brittle star who took up residence front and center of tank under a rock and always has ends of its arms out freaking out students. Comes out for food. We got two big feather dusters - very cool. New little sea cucumber after ours went missing after five years. Has been knocking over gorgonians...

Feeling crabby: top two are busy filter feeding green and spotted porcelain crabs. Bottom left is sponge decorator crab who spends a lot of time upside down. Giant one is a robot-like pitho crab who rips off tufts of turf and lifts it to its mouth.

Looks awesome already! Glad the fish are okay.

Welcome! Looking forward to watching your 65g build.

Glad you joined us! It would be cool if you set up a Tank Journal in that forum. Makes it easy to learn about your system and follow along.

Thanks. It worked out easily and helping each other out is common - a big part of BAR.

I'm in Pleasant Hill and have a Kessil A360WE you could borrow. (I will give it a quick dust cleaning.) Do you need a gooseneck or other mounting accessory?

Where are you located?

Pom pom crab in the house! We have seen it brandish its anemone fists at a hermit crab and porcelain crab who got too close. And it has been hanging out in and around the Calfo pulsing pink sinularia I got from @Apon at the swap! Wow, long time no updates. Crazy busy and stressful year. No...

Along with those little pizza box stools, in the past my students have wanted to take Lego bricks from molecular model kits we assembled to use as frag plugs. Unless glued down or attached to base plates they can float, tip over, wouldn’t stick to rock or stay where placed, and were all around a...

No Death Star? Heehee

Duncan vs. new feather duster worm. Unexpected; moved.

@grizfyrfyter @Meshmez Don't want to hijack this thread, but thanks for the suggestions. My old clownfish gobbled up some type of NLS. I had a tiny bit left but my chromis group and dottyback seemed too slow to eat them before sinking or the particle size was too big. I will have to try again...

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It means a lot. Every year has been a struggle with time, student needs, and powers that be adding more to my plate and trying to force horrible ways of "teaching science." It has been a long time coming but these past two years have moved me to my breaking...

Eheim. Unfortunately, I cannot find pellets our chromis will eat. They will be hungry during spring break.

Sweet story of classroom reefing: in my first class (marine science elective), students did their Monday maintenance and then were doing a group lab activity about ocean debris and plastics that required more reading than usual. I had dipped the frags before school because I didn’t want students...

I think @Srt4eric was still Recovering from his close call with electrocution. @Srt4eric Did you bring the space invader pectinia that I was able to select? If so, did you grow it from a frag or did you frag it from a big colony? I have an awesome pectinia colony (not brightly colored but I...

Yes, I will bring rolling cooler of ice. Let me know if you need anything else like napkins and such since I’ll be getting ice en route

Sounds like fun times! Is that Anathema?!
