Most butterflys are extremely risky but some are known to be OK with corals like the copperband. Most dwarf angels are OK but you always have the chance they will turn like mine did, large angels will definitely eat coral.

Happy birthday Greg's tank!

woo-hoo, happy birthday!

Here are some pics to celebrate, I went to a LFS today and had my friend bring her camera, I only had a minute so I took a couple pics of new stuff. First is an ecinophyllia I got yesterday and the second I'm having ID'd right now.

 

[GregM779]

Well, I went by another LFS today and was finally able to get a hot pink yuma. I've been looking for one of these for a while and I didn't want to pay the crazy online prices.

And the list gets longer and longer......

This one looks like Mycedium elephantotus.

That's the ID I got in the LPS forum also.

How dare you get something like this and throw a frag up to your club's president? That is it. As of now, your membership status is pending a frag of this guy

Very nice Greg. Your tank has certainly progressed ver nicely over the last few months. I hope you have pretty good luck with the trigger. I have my sights set on a smaller size pair of cross hatch.

:smokin:
You must be smoking something or at least sniffing too much gas at work if you think your getting a frag.
Seriously, that piece is gorgeous, I wish I had a better pic.

The trigger is doing great! He's gotten somewhat used to me like the rest of the fish but still a little shy around other humans, time will fix that. Triggers are an awesome addition, hey look and even swim different than other fish. Crosshatch triggers are gorgeous, I think I saw one at aquarium world this week. I almost picked up a mystery wrasse but want to figure out about a canopy first.

Greg,

I've been meaning to ask you.... Hows the eel doing....?? Someone posted a thread about adding a snowflake to their tank and wanted feedback ... Your tank came to mind right away... Do you still have it???


Oh ... and when are you going to post another video in my thread....hmmmm???

 

[GregM779]

I've never had an eel, maybe your thinking of my engineer goby, he's about 8 inches long now.
As far as the video goes, I already have the song picked out, I'm just collecting more good video, this one is going to be more fish based.

 

[fishman805]

LOL..... sorry for the mix up Greg... I had you confused with another member..... had a tank very much like yours.....

Thanks for the video update...

 

[melev]

I love your new corals. Very nice!

 

[GregM779]

I know it's kind of worthless telling with no pics but I picked up a supermale Scott's Fairy Wrasse today. Gorgeous fish!

Here's a link to a pic of one.
