Smite's Stout CDA - 205G

I'm walking the line between starving him out a bit to try new foods yet keep some weight on him. I have been working frozen blood worms soaked in selcon into my frozen mix I feed the tank. He darts at them and watches, sees they don't move and goes about his business.
I've also been trying easy reefs masticks with no luck. I did buy the ready to use one and heard there is a difference so maybe I'll try the other one. This sticks to the glass/rocks about as long as a frozen chunk of food would so I'm not all that impressed so far.

Nice! He's looking good. I feel like these guys are pretty unique looking. That blunt face makes it look like they'll back up all that flashing 
Do you have any other fairy/flashers?

Funny how some, even of the same type, can take a move so well while others go downhill.
TGC Cherry bomb better than ever and the piece below is from my avatar
Vivid Orange Crush and no namers looking good
vivid confetti is a little lighter under daylight but great under blues
WD staying gold with pink highlights so par must be good
Blossom is going up in smoke. It’s currently sitting in a witch hazel dip @ 7.5 ml to 1L of tank water for 30 minutes. It doesn’t look like a total waste in this picture but the portion that’s facing down is mostly TN spread throughout. Basically why I didn’t frag it up and go for the dip. If it makes the dip I’ll be cutting frags and gluing them TN side down making sure to glue cover all die off.
I don’t think it would have seen morning so I’ll be surprised if it makes it at all. if it diodes, I’ll be dipping a few other pieces that look suspect amd have been dormant since I lost a few pieces in my 75 (HW, Jolt and Creme de la creme)
I suspect my nutrients truly bottomed out 2 days in. Pair that up with 100% new light source and I feel that’s my cause. I don’t like dosing po4/No3 but I’ve slowly brought it back up to .04 and 5ppm. I’ll be picking up some reef roids and broadcast a few nights a week to help out now that my CBB is taking out most my aiptasia.
fingers crossed for the blossom. It was a stunner at one point it’ll be a shame to lose it.

Could definitely be the case but also iron supplements can do that to yellow or gold pieces. So if you’re dosing anything like chaeto grow ect, it could be you are running higher on iron.
I was at 60% with diffusers about 8” off water. I had 3 xr30 in the 4’ span and that piece was about 6-8” under the water between 2 lights. I’ve found WD can handle insane par. I want to say the one in my 180 was getting 700+ under g3 pros so don’t be worried to move it up
