Found Sea Hare - He's still Alive!


In the morning I checked my filter part of the tank and found one of the clowns swimming there. In attempt to fish him out he was dropped on the floor and then picked up. I dropped him in the tank and in the evening he seemed fine! - Amazing!

The seahare was clinging to the wall today:

Morning After Intro

One of the clowns I noticed was wobbling around the bottom right cornder. The other was swimming extremely tilted and next to the surface.
Ammonia check using API solution showed 0.50 reading. Will have to make a PWC later on.
Added 10 ml of Stress Zyme.

Clowns introduction

So, this evening I got two clown fishes (tank raised, I'm trying to be reef friendly). I let them float in the bag for a while. In the mean time I was cleaning up the apartment. Then I made a drip-acclimator (an airline connected to a straw with two paper clamps to hold it in place and a flow regulator from a medical thingy. I ensured slow-flow into the bag so they got chemically acclimated rather quickly since it was late already and I needed to go to sleep.

Sunday - PWC

A 1 bucket PWC was carried out and 10 ml of Zyme was used to declorinate it.
Pre-change SG = 1.024.
Zoas started to open-up in their new spot, Cloves seem to be happy too. The Green hydnophora not much so, I'm afraid it is bleaching, but hope it'll be fine.
