Relocated filefish. Either him or the wrasse was pecking LPS coral. Wrasse may have been showing interest, but filefish was caught feasing on some in sandbed. Likely the cause of recently observed retraction (originally assumed it was the lighting).

Relocated torch, rainbow lobo and flowerpot coral. Lobo and flowerpot are now in more direct light. Hopefully this reverses the recent retraction. May need to add more or replace light fixture altogether.

Rainbow Lobophyllia was retracted today. Need to measure LED fixture output as it seems to either be dimming over time or PAR levels were never high to begin with.

Put dead clam on sand bed and polyclad flatworm came back out after 20 minutes. When I noticed it starting heading for large coral skeleton in sandbed. Removed dead coral and flatworm as well. Flatworm was over 5 inches long.

Clam was retracted (now dead, was fine at 9PM). Picked up to inspect and spotted a polyclad flatworm feasting on it. Tried to catch worm with large tweezers (it was getting away), but only managed to shred some of it before it headed into front right LR cave. Explains snail deaths as well.
