Dwarf Mermaid's Wineglass (Acetabularia calyculus)
+ October 5, 2008
Unfortunately, nothing remains of this specimen. At this point I'm not sure if the astraea snails, the tank crash, or perhaps
even the cerith or nassarius snails (although I haven't seen them behaving badly) are at fault.
I hope to try this species or its larger cousin (Mermaid's Wineglass) again sometime.

The dwarf mermaid's wineglass wasn't so much affected by the tank crash as it was consumed by astraea snails in my
previous system. Only a single
stalk remains.
Hopefully, it will recover with time now that there are no more astraea snails in the refugium.
