Morning Feeding & Status Update

Both Monti corals stopped moving (being knocked over) and seem to be fine.
The ricordea took her rough transfer to new home well and seemed to already expand in her new place.
The yesterday's hitchhiker could not be found (maybe it didn't expand yet.)
The clowns were hungry. I fed them with the defrosted food right after adding 26 drops (1/2 suggested dose) of the phytoplankton to the tank.

PWC, Fragging...

Today I attempted to frag my Monti...
  1. Chipped off a less than 1" frag
  2. Glued the frag to the back wall of the tank
  3. The frag excerted some (burning sensation) white goo.
  4. Performed almost full bucket PWC.
  5. Re-glued the frag at lower level, but was unsuccessful and glued it by the hardening white goo.
  6. Attempted to re-superglue the mother-frag, but was unsuccessful.

What is the goo? Hopefully both the mother and the frag will do fine... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.


Questions: what is that white goo and will my frag be alright? - Can I do anything for it?

Ugh,
I think I finally had covered all of my corals... I can not photograph fish as they move way too fast for my sony Mavica. I did not photograph my hermits and my snails because they all hid away.
