First of I would like to introduce his highness that was so kind to really put on a show right at the front glass so I could finally take some decent pictures of this lovely creature. When I looked at the pictures afterwards I just thought it looked so kingly with its crown of seaweed 😉
Some updates in relation to the Fauna in the aquariums… 200ltr Maintank The Prawns as many other others have been very busy with procreation through the summer.
