I added these motion activated lights that are USB rechargeable after watching ReefDudes.

Couple of the new inhabitants. 3 so far, Female Swallowtail, Female Wantanbei & Biota Yellow Tang (coloring up nicely).

forgive the dirty glass, slow to clean as i like to leave it for the pods to munch on.

Was back in DC this past week for work. was able to get a few free moments to Inappropriate Reefers house where he left a frag of the Bahama Llama Weeping Willow. Tossed it in my backpack and brought it home with me. Even the TSA folks who barely know what a coral is, don't balk when going through security.

That's awesome i actually messaged him a while back trying to get a frag of it. Lol put my name on the list for first available frag please

I bought a different model but this was a super helpful reference in your journal. Thank you.

Need to either get better at taking pics with phone or break out DSLR. But few of my recent pickups.. a HG Hammer i got from HTA and a new obsession of diaseris plates (I have at least 6 morphs now -couple more enroute).

 

[divewsharks]

Diaseris like to move around, they can inflate and hover over to a new spot at wiill. luckily not as destructive as when a nem does it.

 

[MichaelB]

Those plates look cool. I been eyeing a orange one to go with my green one. Just haven't got the nerve to buy one yet.

 

[psidriven]

Thinking of ordering the motion leds and wondering if you still would recommend them and how bright are they?

 

[divewsharks]

For lighting up the sump automatically, absolutely!
The ones I got from Amazon are plenty bright enough to see everything.

Just some Saturday night dipping....after seeing a few heads of my torches and a gold frogspawn not looking as happy as they should.
Everything was previously/originally dipped whenever introduced, the oldest torch being around 2.5yrs old in one the tanks (TCK Insane Long Tentacle Indo Gold Torch). But clearly i missed at least 1 egg over the many subsequent additions.
Good news, taking the Insane Long Tentacle out, i got to see how big it actually is, came is a one head, now has 30+.
KCL made easy work of the EEFWs.

Other then the EEFWs, the fish & corals are doing quite well.

 

[psidriven]

How big are the eefw? They look bigger than aefw.

Polyclad flatworm maybe? They do look huge and the euphyllia specific ones I've seen in Jake's videos along with mine, which were translucent and disintegrated in KCl.

 

[divewsharks]

This is what they look like on coral: (Not my pic, this is from Reefbuilders). I forgot to take pics before dipping.

Yes, some were easily more than a CM long; bigger than AEFW - easily visible when the torch tentacles were retracted. Most were 1/2 CM or less.

As for disintegrating in the KCL bath, my guess would be depends on strength of the dip.

 

[PjFish]

Look really look like Polyclad flatworms had one a few years ago about two inches which was taking out snails! Maybe check a few hours after lights out when their most active!
