Left side of the tank. The large rock to the left, has been repositioned here, due to severe burn from the light at their previous place. Hopefully this more shaded place will enable the anemones to recover. Unfortunately it seems like the anemones on the vertical column also suffers from too intense lighting even though the anemone at the bottom, has now split in two!
Right side of the tank. The picture shows 2 new acquisitions, which I have bought from a private aquarist. It is a couple of anemones and a "Frogspawn" stone coral. I presume it requires strong light, and it has been placed accordingly. The "grass", which can be seen here, as well as in the picture above, are from the same source. It is colonies of polyps, most likely of the genus Briaema or Clavularia. The rock bottom right, seems to have been well placed in the first attempt.
Close up of the mentioned anemones.
A closer look at the coral. Barely visible is the fact that the coral is glued to a foot, which makes it easier to place it without damaging it.
One of the repositioned rocks. Clearly visible, several of the anemones display obvious signs of discomfort (damage could be a better term!), and since it primarily is the specimens which have been exposed to the most intense lighting, I assume that it is burning from the HQI light, that is the problem. Hopefully this position is better, and the anemones will recover.
Close up of the "grass". As seen, the polyps grow on a "mat" they excrete, which anchors them to the surface they are attached to. These polyps are torn from a glass plate, and will now (hopefully) attach to the rocks they are placed on. It does not look very attractive, but will (again hopefully) correct itself, given time.
The other repositioned rock. The disc anemones are not exactly damaged, but they decrease in size every day, so something is not right. For now, they have been moved to the right side of the tank, and then I will have to observe carefully.
This rock seems to have been well placed from the start.
