Nice clowns too. Are they of a specific lineage? They look good and deformity free.
Decided to be a watcher for that one. Saving for the cherry coral one on the 30th! Pretty happy with what I got from them last time.
Coral dudes live sale:
Everything was pretty much what I would expect to pay if I walked in a lfs on any given day. A few things were a good price, but there wasn't anything I saw that I really wanted.
I couldn't help myself and responded to someone asking about a bright pink rbta. They wanted to know if it would keep it's color, they (coral dudes) said yes, I said no and explained why. It was partially bleached and under good lighting it would be a nice rose color, but was otherwise healthy looking. They said they had it like this for a while and it is under radion's and it will stay that way... Then someone felt the need to say haters gonna hate... I kept my mouth shut. Lol
Oh, did I mention they wanted $200 for it?!?! 4" bleached rbta.
And they didn't plan well enough and ran out of stuff almost 3 hours early. It was their first one, but still, (400 things ÷ 14 hours ÷ a post every 10 min = ~5 frags posted every 10 min... Or a shorter sale..)
Don't think I'll be participating in any of their future sales, not cheap enough and nothing I needed.

Yeah, lack luster would be a fitting description. I like the coral of the month concept, but kind of a crap shoot at $70 a month...
I'm on the hunt for a nice clown. One of those things I need to see before pulling the trigger. Don't want a stupid looking deformed clown. Lol

Thanks for the site suggestions. Thinking about getting another black ice like my last one I sold.
What made you decide to get the frostbite clowns? And why 3?
They were on sale for Black Friday. Normally they are much more, but they were on special for $40/per! The sample pic he had up showed all three of them and a trio can work. Plus I always end up losing one of the pair when I buy pairs of clowns, then the survivor gets weird and grouchy. Always scared to try to introduce a new clown for fear they will reject it. So this time I bought three

That's a sweet deal!
Hope they all make it!
There's another reg occelaris in there as well right?
What are your ultimate goals for the tank? Just a grow out frag tank or is this gonna turn into something else?? Lol
I'm pretty sure this will stop being a frag tank once the frags grow out
I think I'm done stocking fish for the foreseeable future. And I'm seriously considering pulling the three wrasses and replacing with a trio of Yellow Wrasses.
Purple Tang
Sapphire damsels x 2
Blue Headed Wrasse
Twin Spot Wrasse
Harlequin Tusk
Starry Blenny
Starburst Deepwater Chromis x 6
Ignitus Anthias x 6
Frostbite Clowns x 3
Harlequin Tusk
The ocellarus is in the 75g tank.

I need to upgrade to a bigger tank. Lol
Got any recent full tank shots??
I'll try to get some later today, Sam. I'm having some funky stringy brown stuff growing. I'm hoping it is new tank syndrome and will go away in time. It doesn't seem to be impacting the coral, but is not so nice to look at. I'll probably post up some pics of that as well and see if I can get an ID on it so I can treat for it.

Could it be Dinoflangelates? Snotty and stringy golden brown stuff found in areas of mod to high lighting?
Man, I hope not! I've never seen anything like it in any of my tanks. I uploaded photos on the other site, but screwed up and deleted them before I uploaded them here. Sad thing is I'm more likely to get a response to a problem on this site. R2R seems more about brag threads while RC is more focused on the how and why of reefing.
