This Reef is now 17 months Old.
The month of May is quite challenging. A bit of a set back with a spike in Salinity 3 weeks ago and hit almost 40ppt that turned my Sunburst Monti pale. All polyps retracted as a result. My Gold Hammer also retracted for 2 weeks and most of my Millis polyp retracted.
After gradually adjusting the salinity back to 35ppt, I noticed right away that corals started to extend their polyps again.
Coral growth is noticeable since the last FTS. The Green Toadstool exploded, it's getting too big for my liking. I need to frag this before it touches the neighboring coral colony.
Another first world problem, Euphillias are getting aggressive and started outcompeting each other. The torch coral stung the Nuclear Green Frogspawn and lost a head. On the other hand the Nuclear Green Frogspawn turned its own aggression and burned the Green Slimer and the Blueberry Wine Acro
