    Macro lens made a big difference Hunter if you compare images in post#302 to the update. The focus is improved when you compare the two. You can see the growth in the Granulosa (well I think it's a Granulosa).

    Do the wrasses stir up the sand bed enough to cloud the water? I counted 11 wrasse and a pair of clowns, do you really have 11 wrasse?

    Have your resolved the sps issue? What acro is the green with purple/brown polyps?

    Which one?

    Only the Halichoeres pair occasionally. 13 actually; I can't find two in that photo. Plus the tomini tang.

    Nearly; things are pretty good right now.
    Real Tyree Pink lemonade.

    We'll see.

    I figured that was the one you were referring to, but wasn't sure.

    Garrett's Loripes, but we all think it might really be granulosa. It is growing well though.

    Well they're all beautiful, especially the plates Hunter.;)

    So only the Halichoeres sleep in the sand?

    Thank you, and yes. The Cirrhilabrus (fairys) & Paracheilinus (flashers) do not.
