As I mentioned in my previous post, I did some slight rearranging in Surfquarium last week. I was out of town for the last week and didn't have time to show the full tank view of Surfquarium's new configuration...
now that I'm back, I'll let you all in on the new look of Surfquarium. Largely nothing has changed except that the
Euphyllia divisia colony is now completely hidden from view when looking at the front of the tank. In its place is a small colony of
Briareum stechei (green star polyps), which has gotten kicked around the tank by all of the inhabitants since its introduction. I think I've finally got it in a stable location where it won't continuou
sly get dumped in the sand by a clambering hermit crab or the burrowing activity of my pistol shrimp/shrimpgoby duo. Also you might notice that the mushroom corallimorphs and the pulsing Xenia's are just growing like wildfire. While I'm certainly happy about the return on my investment (I started with 4 mushrooms, and 3 Xenia's - I've now got nearly 40 mushrooms and almost 20 Xenia stalks), they're rapid growth leaves little room for other things to grow or the addition of any other sessile benthic invertebrates. As always, I've included pictures for your enjoyment, just click on the small ones in the post to see the full size versions.
