I was going through the camera and found this photo of a GORCHEST gold barb! Not sure who took it. Either Alanna or Charlie. Who took it? Good job. A+. Heck I’ll give it a ✅➕! Gold Star ⭐️ even. Standing ovation! Round of applause! 👍! Ok! Decent! But for real let me know who took this photo thanks.

Not on purpose, but really freaking cool....

A new color was expressed onto this coral. What was an all red polyp bubble gum digitata is now expressing green fluorescent proteins after being next to a green digitata. Why did this happen....to be honest we are not sure.

We started a quest to learn more. We asked ChatGPT and it told us that no one was studying things like this. We talked to Dr. Fritz and he was stumped as well. We reached out to the coral mad scientist, and he recommended we look into thraustochytrids. Ummmm....what the heck is that!?!?

Anyone else have an experience like this? Who has seen this before and might have an explanation? We will try to grow it out and see if the colors are expressed even more. Stay tuned.

Progress pictures are the best! 📸 🪸 😎

Sometimes it feels like a broken record to say, but it's important to remind ourselves that growth takes time. It's hard to see when we stare at our tanks everyday, but taking pictures allows us to really appreciate what's happening under the water. This Purple Plasma has really taken off under the Meridian.

So get out your camera or cellphone and start snapping some pics
