    Glad I caught it. Just happened to check the frag tank tonight. The acan isn't glued down to the tile it's on and slid over too far. No damage done.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You got lucky, to catch it for image, and before too much damage, good eye. LPS just do not play nice sometimes.

    The Blasto looked fine this morning, whew. That would have been bad. It was a rescue and had just started growing new babies. The filaments were wrapped around a small head. I noticed that there is another Acan and Blasto in the DT that I'll have to move.
