Welcome to r2r!! Sorry for your losses but I truly believe you brought in a parasite with the second blenny. I would suggest a qt tank and a fallow period in the DT. :)

What is the mushroom in the first pic? Looks really nice. I will have to get one of those.

Red and Blue mushrooms. Although my red is more of a brown. It recently started “capping” and folding over on it self. Not sure if that’s a normal behavior or what. Throughout the day it will morph into different shapes. Kinda cool to watch.

It is stable. Switched to I/O Reef Crystals and started dosing Kalk. Now all parameters are constant. PH still a little on the low side at 7.8am-8.0pm but it’s stable and all is doing well.

Ended up buying another clown fish and a small Molly Blenny. They are doing well. Tank is looking good.

Decided to go bigger so I’m currently in the process of a new build. Fun stuff.

Here’s a pic of the 10 gallon. Thank you for checking on me!!!

1 year update: Tank is doing well. Sold the RBTA to LFS as he was getting too big. Got a mate for the Clown, removed the Xenia (that stuff grows FAST). Lost one fish (suicide) and the Acans...has a bit of trouble with bubble algae but it is finally starting to recede after lots of manual removing and the addition of an emerald crab. Tank maintenance is routine with a 2-3 gallon water change about once a month.

65 gallon tank is still sitting in the corner...waiting on a custom stand from 80/20 and my decision to buy a house before I set it up (not wanting to move it after set up).

Guess this 10 gallon will have to do for a little while longer. Comments and questions welcome. Happy Reefing everyone!!!

Looking good! I started reading from the beginning and was wondering how long it would take to part with the nem. Got to the update and my question was answered. They are Beautiful animals but boy howdy they sure grow fast!
