Camiezone babies from Homer and Big Girl

We should be!

I’ve been reefing on and off since the early 2000 but my very first reef tank was in 1994 (didn’t last due to work) my current tank is a softie with LPS and 8 tangs and wrasse. Been in the scene straight since 2014. I bet yours is SPS.
I use to have a 120 gallon beautiful reef tank. But then I needed 2 things: 1, more hours in the day & 2, a baby enclosure.
So out came my sledgehammer, beat out the bottom, which got replaced w extra fine mesh (sunblock screen) underneath that, I added metal metal which is strong to hold plants up etc. The top mesh was chosen because it's fine enough so pin head crickets can't escape and ants can't get in... this is now my result.
In this hybrid tank is where they start their first 30 days. Easy way to contain nice temp and humidity, while having great airflow. They seem happy and hungry.
There isn't that many living inside entire tank. Normally about 20-25. In the poc they were just fed so all gathered around the food bowl. Lol

I can’t believe you did that. One thing I can’t give up is my reef tank, but I do understand your need and well looK what we have…beautiful babies from your project.
 

Godzilla is so beautiful. I just love his coloration. I bet when he grows up (lol) he will be a yellow body blue bar mid section, and yellow body red bar on tail. That's gonna look 👌 awesome
 
How on earth can Bart have so many sperm plugs? I had thought they were actually shed skin and not sperm. I did already check down there the other day and no sign of anything being stuck. He’s shed twice so far but has wiped at least half dozen on his screen. As I greeted him this morning, I caught him in the act of wiping one off. Here he is a little later next to it, looking all sweet and innocent...as he is. 🥰 He does love screen walking. If he isn’t basking, that’s where he is.

Bart oh Bart. If you weren't so darn adorable, you'd be in trouble with all your plug rubbing, lol. Good thing your just too beautiful. It's obvious your negelcted and unloved..... im kidding of course. What a stunner.
 
I let Picasso walk around our chrysanthemum in our backyard earlier and bam, he chomp the bee that sniffing the flower! 🫣
That's really good for him. In the wild, bees are a staple food for them. I'm happy he gets to come outside, nothing healthier than some actual sunrays

You are not alone. BOLT has sperm plugs all over the place. Today, he is in a shed and he left his shed and a lovely long poop in his feeding dish.
