That tank is looking really good. I noticed that the RBTA has lost it's bubbles like all of mine has. I love that hammer coral and keep an eye on the green stars. I'm having to tear off about 4 square inches a month to keep mine under control.

it's hard to see, but the hammer already has a big, new head. =) all your frags are doing great, adam. (the gsp is almost about to encrust onto the rock i perched it on)

and last but not least, a pic of ***-gellan..er..Magellan, my maroon clown.

Sad news...

Sad news...

I got home last night to see my blue damsel's head stuck in the protein skimmer's intake. He hadn't been there for long, but it was too late..
:sad1:
So rest in peace, Rigel...you will be missed.

 

[cweber]

Sorry to hear about your damsel.

On a happier note...I love you tank!

I wish my blue damsel would get his head stuck and not make it.......If I can catch mine, he's yours!!

Update!

Update!

Some updated pics with the new frags I got from Paul. (and I'm not really coral-savvy, so I don't know what exactly everything is besides some zoas, a shroom, green slimer, head of metallic hammer, and the purple cap--which got bleached out cuz the frag disk is so white)

So, FTS to start with:

A fuzzy picture of an awesome zoa colony (I'll borrow my dad's Nikon and get a better macro shot later):

And, just a pic of Magellan looking like a koi:

Much sympathy to Paul--and Lynn--for this whole mess happening, but things will turn out for the better sooner than you know it!

Aw, that's so mean! I'm actually going to replace him with an electric blue damsel I saw at Rock 'n Reef the other day--if it's still there.

 

[Stealth91RT]

I still have both my electric blues if you want them. they seem to do well with both of bens maroon clowns in his ten gallon.

 

[magellan007]

this is what i want.. the guy called them "electric" but they appear different.

 

[jksteele010]

Wow, absolutely beautiful. That nem and clown are amazing looking.

My cleaner shrimp, Pierre..

And of course, Magellan, lookin' all cool with his "cold shoulder" act.

I got lucky with this shot; he actually got close enough and held still for this..I think he should be on a coin. =D

 

[papagimp]

Same maroon and anemone? Looking good.

 

[magellan007]

I haven't gotten home yet, but the anemone was stringy all of yesterday.. it looked better this morning before the lights turned on, so hopefully it just needed to poop. (otherwise i'll be needing another split from you, lol...)

 

[MyMonkey]

Nice frags there. Coming along nicely.

managed to get somewhat better pics of my banded goby, Bruce, and the green zoas..

 

[cweber]

Wow! I love those zoas! Lookin good.

 

[magellan007]

My latest addition! A One-Spot Foxface Rabbitfish....isn't he the cutest?

And a full tank shot as of today:

(..wow, that anemone has gotten huge! if it gets any bigger it'll tough my corals (e__e) not gut.)

I also got a sixline, but he hides everytime I come up to the tank..I'll post a pic of him soon as I get one.

 

[Brad Rogers]

Very Cool!!

Where did you get your foxface from? I would like to get one. I heard they are venomous. This true?
