The things we do to keep our animals healthy

Over in my 29g, things are looking better. One of the three BTAs has been having some trouble eating. Because it is hanging off the side of a rock, gravity isn't a benefit plus the neighboring BTA seems to be stealing its food. Keeping the clownfish out of these anemones during feeding is a must, because they are just so hard on it. I can't wait for these to grow larger so they can defend themselves and actually consume a meal without needing so much intervention on my part.

The sun coral is doing great, and while my fish continue to act innocent I really believe they are stealing food each time I look away. During those feedings, I drop a little bit of mysis on each polyp, but it takes a little time for those to eat. After 5 minutes I come back to feed again and the coral is all clean of the previous food. Since it looks so pretty my guess it is eating, but I still think Tucker (the Regal Tang) and the green Mandarin (needs a name still) are guilty of pilfering some of the juicy morsels!

The orange Montipora capricornis is growing daily, and is really creating a nice little shadow now, beneath its form. It is a really nice coral and it makes me happy to see corals that thrive.
