Summer hits and tank maintenance slides. It happens every year — water changes get pushed back, glass goes unwiped, and algae starts creeping in. If you’re going to let anything slip, make sure your cleanup crew is picking up the slack.
Cerith snails are one of the best investments you can make for a low-maintenance tank. They work every layer — substrate, glass, and rockwork — eating detritus, cyano, diatoms, film algae, and leftover food before it can fuel a bloom. They’re nocturnal too, so they’re putting in work while you’re not even looking!
砂床の上、特に後ろと側面に薄い緑色の膜/藻が付着してきた。
I'm getting a thin green film/algae layer over the sand bed, particularly toward the back and sides.
最初はナマコだと思ったけど、今は自信ないな。
First thought was a snail, but now I’m not sure.
夏は水槽のメンテナンスがおろそかになる。毎年のことだ。水換えが後回しになったり、ガラスが拭かれなくなったり、コケが増殖し始めたり。何かをさぼるなら、クリーンアップクルーにしっかり頑張ってもらおう。
セリスズメは低メンテナンスの水槽への最良の投資の一つだ。底砂、ガラス、ライブロックと全層で活動して、デトリタス、シアノバクテリア、珪藻、フィルムコケ、食べ残しを片付けてくれる。そのすべてがコケの大量増殖につながる前に。夜行性だから、寝てる間も働いてくれるんだ！

これが何か知ってる人いますか？
Anyone know what these are ?
これってアステリナヒトデですか????
Is this an asterina starfish????
脱皮か、それとも死んだのか？
Are we thinking dead hermit or malt?
xenia に完全にカモフラージュされたヒッチハイカーを見つけた！
見たところ xenia crab って呼ばれてるらしい（正直に言うと、本当によく見えなくて、xenia の傷をチェックするために近く見るまで気づかなくて、指がない茎があることに気づいて、あ、その茎なんで横に動いてるの！？って感じだった😅）
xenia との関係は本当にクールな共生関係で、xenia を食べながら xenia も保護してるらしい！
これで xenia の雑草みたいに広がる性質をコントロールできるようになるのか、それとも奴に友達を見つけてやる必要があるのか？
2枚目の写真を見て、奴を見つけるの頑張ってください 🤣
I found a very well camouflage hitch hiker in my xenia!
Apparently they are called xenia crabs (not gonna lie I really did not saw it until i really took a closer look to inspect my xenia for damges and noticed some stalks that does'nt have some fingers and was like whoa why is that stalk moving sideways!!)
They have a very cool symbiotic relationship on a xenia, they eat xenia while they also protect xenia!
Will this help me control xenia's weed-like nature that spread quickly or will i need to find him a friend?
Look at 2nd pic and have fun finding him 🤣
キノコサンゴの中に迷彩上手なカニを見つけたんだけど、このカニは何ですか？フロッグフィッシュにとって安全ですか？
I found this well camouflage crab in my xenia, what is this crab and is this safe for my frogfish?
アイプタシア？白いライトで動画を撮ろうとしたけど、点けた途端に管の中に引っ込んじゃう
Aiptasia? Tried getting a video with white light but as soon as it comes on it shoot back into the tube
アプタシア除去する一番良い方法は？1個だけだと思うけど、めっちゃ大きい!!乗ってる石を水から出して、バーナーで焼き落とせって言われたんだけど。
Best way to get rid of aptasia ? I believe its just the one but its massive!! I was told to hold the peice up out of water that its on and blow torch it off.
このヘアーアルガエを何とかしないと
Gotta get this hair algae under control
これらの毛のようなものがトーチのスケルトンに生えてるのをもっといい動画で撮ったんだけど、これが何か知ってる人いますか？前回からもっと増えてます。
I got a better video of these hairs growing on my torch skeletons has anybody seen or know what these are they have multiplied since the last time.
