50 Gallon Soft Coral Tank

I got some new additions...

Hybrid Zebrasoma Tang. Hopefully will work on some bubble algae.

Really love your clowns, everything about this tank is awesome. How is the mimic filefish so far? I tried a leopard toby puffer a few weeks ago and it unfortunately didn't work, but it was worth a shot.

He's doing great. Doesnt even look at the corals.

I love my clowns too. The male is a true w/c PNG Percula. The orignal female randomly died out of the blue after years in captivity. I paired the remaining one back with a SA Full-Bar Onyx and for years I always thought about removing. It just looked silly to me to have a perfect rare wild-caught with a brain dead captive bred, but as she got bigger she grew on me. Now they spawn every few weeks.

Great to hear, hopefully it'll stay that way for you. :)

I would have thought your female (the larger full blown onyx clown) was wild caught, she is very nice from what I can see.
 
Really love your tank! Your GSP has grown in a very interesting shape! Did you already list your corals you currently have? If you were close by I'd be buying some frags!

Its a branching variant... from indonesia. Its not a true GSP like were a accustomed too, its actually a type of photosynthetic sea fan.
 
^ love it where can we find such a species?
a coral list would really help out to as I can't ID them all. :D if you have time that would be amazing!!

thank looks great!
 
Great tank. Really outstanding.

How is the mimic doing with your corals? I have read that they can get nippy?
 
Amazing tank. How did you get your flame angels to pair?

Their easy to sex. Females typically have four vertical stripes while males have five. I just found two with a distinct size difference and QT'd them for awhile together. Once they were good to go and not murdering each other I introduced.

Not a ton of variety of coral. The 'branching' GSP is a type of Briarium asbentenium. I have two types, the big brown sea fan in the middle is the same species, just different color.

I also have Cespichularia, anthellia, a few palythoas, Xenia, Dendrophylla, some Caribbean sea fans, Austrailian Crown Leather, Cabbage Leather, and a few others.

Not too sure, its somewhat abundant down here in San Diego, with small pieces selling for $40. I sold Joe Yaiullo a large piece maybe 2 years when he was in the area, maybe Reefgen will start propagating it? Not sure...
 
Tank is doing well. All the inhabitants are happy and healthy. I will be breaking down the tank within a few months. I am moving out of state. I am keeping some of my rarer fish and equipment for a project later on.
