All three new barnacle blennies accounted for this morning, in QT. I fed them and they all ate heartily.
Yeah, I'm banking on growing it in the sump and wrapped around a powerhead, away from crabs. Every now and then, I plan on dropping extra growth in as supplemental food. It's funny, my fish and crabs are now keeping caulerpa prolifera in check! I love that keeping macros in the display keeps everyone fat and healthy.

Anyway, good to hear about the blennies. I added one three weeks ago, it was only a 1/4". I haven't seen it since day 1... I'm starting to lose hope.
