I took some more pics!
String of Pearls and Botryocladia blending together.
Shoal and Manatee Grass with fern and saw blade caulerpa.
Sargassum Weed with Dragon's Tongue (I think). I moved their rock to optimize their placement in the light. I'd really like to see these two get bigger too.
The latest arrangement of the patch reef. It feels natural to me.
Another shot of the Sargassum Weed and Dragon's Tongue, and the live rock beneath.
Looking down on the patch reef.
Fun fish shot.
I'm really enjoying the mangroves! One of the things that bugged me about my fake mangrove was that it was too big. I'm digging the smaller proportions of the real deals. Of course they'll grow, if they survive. I'm rootin' for 'em!
Coralline algae on the mangroves.
