Got a male/female pair of manderians at least i believe they're male and female they seem to be getting along with each other. Heres the best shot i could get with both of them near each other.

Found some Neon gobies and acquired 2. They're far to fast for me to get a decent picture with my iphone so the only pictures i could get is when they clean the achillies in their cave.

Decided to try an Elegance for the first time. Just came in this morning so if anyone has successfully kept one for a long period of time feel free to leave some tips. Its the Australian kind Catalaphyllia jardinei.

Adds an interesting color to my reef that oddly enough has wavy tan colors.
 
Back with more updates don't have a validated excuse for the delay so ill just get to it. To start I had an alk swing when i switched from a calc reactor to dosing lost a few corals while some just simply faded while and others were unaffected at all.

After a few weeks of adding some livestock i notice something was moving things around in the sandbed.... Then one morning i found the culprit my Tuxedo urchin.

Biggest live stock update is this Ora Cali Tort colony a friend parted with due to a move. Its massive and was difficult to find a good placement. Due to the weight and size I couldn't use the normal glue products but its def the highlight of my tank.
