I added some live mysis shrimp to the tank on Friday, and caught some great video of Kestra hunting them yesterday while we were watching the rocket launch. It’s very difficult to decide where to divide my attention, because Kestra was being a spectacular as the launch!.
So far everything is fine! Kestra has inadvertently knocked the zoas down, but once in place she ignores them. The only ones who harass the “purple plumes” are the shrimps and hermit crabs, but that’s just because they climb on them. There are four clumps of zoas- all the same kind, and two types of “plume.”No problems with the corals being irritated by being touched too much and no concern about stinging or sweepers, etc?

To be honest, I emailed Philip at KP Aquatics and gave him the tank dimensions and our ultimate plan for it, and asked for his suggestions. He knew an octopus was in the mix (he caught it!) so he helped with appropriate suggestions of what he had in stock. In 12 years this is the first time I’ve kept corals with my octopus, I LOVE how the tank looks!
