    15 years that’s the mark of a real man. Most of all I am a man of my word and very stubborn so I never give up on my family. We lived through the worst and as a result of that commitment we are indestructible as a couple I imagine your situation must be similar.


    A toast to your 15 and my 14 year Anniversary.

    Hey mission .. In your tank post you said you have a bubble algae problem. Have you considered an emerald crab? I'm not sure if he'll eat your other stuff , but he's suppose to be good at eating that stuff. I have one live rock that I added to seed my others with coraline. It's the only rock I have with green on it and he has licked that rock almost clean of the green stuff. He's a survivor too. He has been in there the whole cycle. hehe

    I have tried an emerald crab. The type of bubble algae that I have is different than valonia. It's called sea pearl. Basically the same but, the bubbles just grow larger and sporadic. Not in large colonies like valonia that stays small. I think emeralds have a better taste for valonia. I've never had success using them.

    Ventricaria ventricosa is the most infamous of the bunch. It bears a single, fluid-filled, and nearly spherical bladder of a thallus (or 'body'). To say that the bladder or vesicle is 'single' simply means it does not branch off 'daughter' bladders; each and every bladder has its own anchorage on the substrate. The bladders, which are single cells each, can grow to nearly 2 inches in diameter, and can appear to have a curious sheen, especially when underwater, that can almost conceal its dark green color. The optical effect derives from the parallel arrangement of cellulose micro-fibrils in the vesicle's wall, and the near-crystalline state of the cellulose, similar to the same way that 'star' and 'cat's-eye' gemstones create their chatoyant sheen. The cell wall's toughness, smoothness, and the sheer size of the bladder, discourage many grazing herbivores from obtaining suitable purchase. Its anchorage to substrate can be surprisingly strong. The species is found around the Indian Ocean into the Pacific, as far east as the Samoas and as far south as Australia, as well as throughout the Caribbean. It is notorious for its tolerance of very low light levels.
