After many weeks, my sun coral is starting to open and feed well (bottom picture). It opens for lobster eggs, but its favourite feed appears to be mysis shrimp. I have been maticulously feeding each polyp of this little beauty, individually, using a small turkey baster. I mix some frozen feed with some of the tank water, then I drizzle some over the top of the coral. 10 mins later she starts to open and I then take another 10 + mins feeding her, ensuring all polyps get thier share. Well, all my hard work has finally been rewarded as she opens wanting food at about 8pm every night now.

Falicity is never far away when the coral gets fed!(top picture)

Cleaner Shrimp sheds again!

This is the third time my cleaner shrimp has shed his ekoskeleton and its the first time I have a pic of it.

1 month on - March 16th 2007

Its been about a month now since my last post, so I thought I would up date my progress. There has been a fair bit of development, with coralline algae appearing everywhere and everything thriving I am very pleased to say. You can just see the ekoskeleton of sam the cleaner shrimp on the sand in the middle front of the tank. My feather duster has just pulled in, so its not on display and the sun coral is closed...All in all not the best pic to post I suppose!!
