Amphipods and Closed Polyps

A couple of days ago an enterprising little blue leg hermit decided to traipse across one of my frags, unfortunately the polyps have still not opened. It’s starting to be a bit of a concern actually. They simply look closed though, just as plump and with the same coloration as if momentarily agitated.

I need to actually mount my Ricordea onto something, just laying in the sand doesn’t seem to be working all that well. It occasionally gets pushed around and I wake up to see it somewhere new, usually right up against zoas. It had come lose from its little ceramic square in transit, I’ll probably try gluing it down to a bit of rock I’d chiseled at earlier today.

I also saw my first amphipods today, that was a bit freaky.
