Default It is hard enough to keep sponges...

It is difficult enough to keep sponges alive long term...I don't need this kind of help from "Freckles". His motivation for this behaviour seems to be that this is where he likes to sleep and he's decided that this sponge is in his way. If I return it to it's regular spot, it is removed within about 1 minute.

This also gives everyone a good idea of just how large the vlamingi is getting. I just checked the records and he came to the tank almost exactly 9 months ago and was about 1" long at that time. Yikes!



Finally, an entertaining video of his sponge clearing skill...with guest appearance by almost every other fish right at the end of the video.


Now that you've watched the video once, watch it again and notice the brief territorial squabble between two cleaner shrimp on the right...

That tank is just looking incredible. It's current state makes the older tank shots look like a barren wasteland. Holy GROWTH!

No kidding. That's one seriously nice tank. I like how the video closes off in a veritable explosion of fish all at once.
