Well, even though my tank is rapidly running out of space... I visited a newish local "coral farm" and caught the tank-stocking bug again. My intention was only to go and look and just check out the facility and so on... instead, I came home with a shiny new colony of Yellow Sinularia sp. I must say that not only is the coral farm nice, but so is my new addition. After only one day, it seems "healthier" than most other things I've added to the tank. No two weeks of shriveling and sliming like most of the other Alcyonaceans I've ever added... instead, this thing perked right up and showed it's polyps. Not sure how I manage to capture such a stunning photo of the new Sinularia, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Now, onto the further adventures of the stocking bug. After getting the Sinularia, I decided I wanted to have another go at keeping some shrimp. I haven't posted much about my trials and tribulations with shrimp, but let's just say... it's been difficult. Over the last 8 months I've added & "lost" two Peppermint shrimp (Lysmata wurdenmanni) and a sexy anemone shrimp (Thor amboinensis).
