The first coral goes in! After the hermits, snails, and Grunge went in, it was time to start thinking corals. The tank was cycled, the tank inhabitants were happy, and I was ready for the next step. We found a beautiful (and large) pipe organ coral and brought him home. Right around this time I also started seeing my first 'pods' - copepods and amphipods. This was a great sign, and I considered the tank a success for the first time! Soon starfish began showing themselves and all the sponges and worms started multiplying.  ¶ 5:28 PM 0 comments
