Yet more photos. I do like the Ricordea (last photo)
Picked up some Coral frags this weekend from other marine keepers. Purple clove polyps, Hammer, Ricordea, Mushroom, Duncan, Leather (no pic yet) and small colony of Zoas.
Some of them are Fluorescent Corals which mean under the Blue LED lights on an evening they go bright green/orange, etc. Still trying ot work out how I can take photos of this with my compact camera.
The Duncan Coral nabbed a small bit of prawn I added and it was just a tad too big for it to eat in one go….. One of the pics show this. Some more pics of the Cleaner Shrimp but the Blood Shrimp are hiding….
Pretty boring really.. Same toms as last year, with the exception of Roma
Alicante
Heavy-cropping Money maker type with an excellent flavour.A classic, older variety.
Gardeners Delight
An exceptionally sweet and delicious outdoor cherry tomato. Each bite sized fruit is packed full of old fashioned true tomato taste.
Golden Sunrise
Medium sized, early, sweet yellow fruits with a distinctive flavour
Moneymaker
Well known for reliably producing heavy crops. Large trusses of medium-sized fruit. Ideal for greenhouse or outdoor growing
Orange Santa
A spectacular dense, orange-skinned, cherry plum with a high sugar content and a distinctive flavour when fully rip
Tigerella
Very distinctive variety having red fruits with orange-yellow stripes. Fine flavour and heavy yielding
Roma
The tomato is a meaty, egg- or pear-shaped tomato that is available in red and yellow
Yesterday we bought 2 Cleaner Shrimps and 2 Blood Shrimp. I started to acclimatise them slowly and after 45 mins I basically ignored the drip drip drip as the slightly larger blood started to beat 10 tons of sh*t out of the smaller one. The smaller one lost 3 or 4 legs/antenna and was looking in a bad way. So netted and dumped into the main tank they went.
He wasn’t looking great and hid straight away. After about 30 mins he hobbed out and looked a tad sad. I hope he survives but not sure if he will. If he dies can I get my cash back ?? 
The cleaner went in next and are already become the stars of the tank. Very curious and look great.
Well I read you can put shop bought oysters into a marine tank, I thought it was an April Fool. So popped to Tesco and £2 later, we have 4 oysters as our 1st Marine tank dwellers. Hope they survive. 2 of them starting to open up after 5 mins of being in the tank!
Bought our 1st CUC (Clean Up Crew) today.
4 Red Leg Hermits crabs
5 Turbo Snails
