My tank is not growing any coralline, I think some of the coralline algae I already had is dying off slightly in some places, and the hermits are eating that, and they are making slow-to-no progress on the hair algae, or whatever this stuff is, it looks like feather fronds almost.
So, sorry if that makes you jealous since all you have is cute little bacon bits and coral.
lol!

xray, how many, and what type of bulbs are in your fixture?
Like, how many actinics, and what is the kelvin rating of any non actinics?

That's a big shell in there. I can only imagine the size of the snail.

Good luck with your corals. :)

Bacon was just swimming around and then curled her tail and seemingly went to sleep under the return from the canister. She didnt get bounced around much but then started sinking and got knocked around and gave up lol
