The most obvious change is that coralline algae growth has really exploded. Many of the critters are showing excellent growth since the last tank shot. Individual corals are still too small to be noticed from a distance.

Colonies are small but stable and showing signs of good to excellent growth.

Still very little coralline growth, none to speak of on the glass. Some sections in the shade are showing coralline growth and a few specs on plastic parts can be seen. The tank started out with just about no coralline on any of the rocks. A few seed rocks were added from my previous display.
