Will’s 10gal Waterbox - First tank in 15 years!

This encrusting brain started as a small 1”x1” frag and has just exploded over the years. Got a small plate coral back in 2019 that did great for years, then suddenly died back quickly, and now its skeleton regularly pops off new baby plate corals. I’ve moved three of them to other tanks, and the mother has about 15 growing out of her now.

Last but not least, my cleaner shrimp is carrying eggs for the first time. It’s the only cleaner shrimp in the tank, so they won’t be viable. But a good sign nonetheless. Apparently my crustaceans are very happy.

Also not sure why this is in mid-sized tanks. Assuming nano & mid-sized were combined back in 2019 when I started the tank.

Just a few images after cleaning up the tank this afternoon. For those who doubt the ability of the cheap Hipargero LED light to produce good coloration, I hope this will change your mind! I have been so pleased with this light on this nano tank. Almost all of the corals in these photos (with the exception of the maze brain and orange/pink lobo) have come from fellow ARC members!

What are these? I think I must have them.
