ok, i will make this real quick because I can not believe what I am seeing in my tank right now. I have not seen my tiger pistol shrimp in months...literally I have not seen this shrimp since I added him to the tank months ago.

Also, a branch in a birdsnest colony in the back of the reef suddenly turned white, so I checked Alkalinity first and it was 8.5 dKH. Maybe the tongue coral got it and it wasn't a water quality situation. There ...
