Months back I moved the Lightning pair to the basement following the ongoing disease problems the pair was suffering through.  In short, this last ditch effort worked, and the pair (along with their Foureye Butterfly companion) have lived in a 33 gallon extra long since then.  Their Ecoxotic Cube Tank was bleached to sterlize, and then soaked with vinegar to take off all the coraline algae.  The tank was scrubbed, rinsed, and sat dry for months.
This story, combined with a lack of any photos, has led a few crackpots to suggest that the Lightning Maroon had in fact died / perished.  Well…I was down there shooting photos recently and thought “what the heck” 😉





Of course, the long term goal has been to restore them to the original tank, this next time set up with Bubble Tip Anemones and not much else 😉
Tonight I started down the path, filling the tank and adding fresh new substrate (Caribsea’s Fiji Pink).





Let’s see how quickly things clear up 😉
