Reef Avalanche. My first, hopefully my last.

[Glenner’sreef]

I woke up last week to an interesting surprise. The middle section of my aquascape had taken a bit of a tumble.
One Orange Monticap got broken into three pieces. Other than that my Midas Pink Digi, Sanjay Leprechaun beard and Tubbs Stalata all lucked out.
Got in there yesterday and began to move things around and secure them so that this wouldn’t happen again.
It nicely created some interesting caves.

Does this happen often? Or am I the only one. It would seem to me that this is an original post, a first. No?

It's been a while but used to happen to me a lot

I worry about it and try to make sure things are quite sturdy.

Build my reef with fiberglass rods and 2 part epoxy.

I presently have a section that concerns me. But I’m working on it. Figuring it out in my mind you know? We’ll see.

well, I need to re-arrange things, and or remove a piece, to make room for more corals too. Always a daunting task as most of my rocks are quite large.

Almost happened to me a few weeks ago. Thought the top of my aquascape was secured, and to my surprise it wasn’t. Went to pull algae off the top and it started to slide down. I had to quickly grab it and place it back on top in a more secure fashion. It’s fine now, but could have been much worse

With the positioning of the anemone, it could have done some good damage to it.

I have 3 huge Top Crown snails, had em for years. I’m guessing one of them were the culprits. No casualties tho.

Glad you didn't have any casualties!
