Tank updates

I picked up a Pom Pom Crab and a Peppermint shrimp last week and I haven't really been able to find them since. I think Lieutenant Dan is still alive because during feeding I saw a Crab feeding and the new one didn't have any anemones and this one did. So I may have 2 crabs... This morning I found an empty shell of a crab though so one may have perished/been killed. It didn't look like a molt.

Also, the buds on the Duncan continue to grow quite quickly; I can't wait to see what it looks like when they've grown! I found another sponge underneath the Duncan again and just left it there.

Buds continue to grow

This was actually pretty cool to see because the Candy Cane's tentacles have never come out that far. Also, the top right head is regenerating nicely.

Those strange tube growths on the rocks are beginning to concern me; I think they may be those worms that release the sticky lines to gather food because whenever I feed the tank some strands come out but I can't quite tell if they are attached or not. I may have to try and remove them soon.

Also, the Aiptasia are still growing and there are a few more buds. I really hope the hrimp isn't dead because he needs to nom those right up...

Until next time,
