Alright, I have started to break the slump and am trying to get re-energized. Today I am doing some seriously overdue maintenance. Glass has been scrapped. I will be changing out filtration, doing a water change, rearranging some rock and cleaning out some hair algae. I have attached some pictures from where I will be starting from! Also, I have never really known what the purple coral is all over my rocks? Anybody know? |

Looks like Sarcothelia or Clavularia (Usually sold as Blue Clove Polyp), as usual when it finds the right environment it will take over  |

I forget the name but it also bares a striking resemblance to a type of encrusting gorgonian I’ve seen In the past. |

Interesting. I like it but it is everywhere. I read somewhere people sometimes shave it back with a razor
