LATEST CASUALTIES...

both the strawberry lemonade frag + dorito (my new blue spot jawfish) kicked the bucket! i am extremely bummed about dorito since brad says this is my last chance to have a jawfish. :( needless to say, in light of all the losses we'll be picking up new OTHER fish this weekend to help liven up the tank.

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! A LOVELY LITTLE COLONY OF NUDI'S...

i was zoning out in front of the tank + noticed a little fuzzy white thing on my prized sunset monti frag. i pulled it out for a closer inspection + found a bloody nudi! aaaaaaaaaaaaah! i then proceeded to check all the frags in the tank + found everything to be free + clear with the exception of the spongode (below). :( fuck man! it's a fucking colony! ...with egg-sacks! ...all over! grr! i scrubbed the hell out of each monti we have + banished the spongode to the 15g for the time being. i'm hoping i got all of them, but we're putting the spongode in quarantine until we're sure as to not infect the others.

:(
