You might notice some glass bowls... Well they are there because of the crazy *** Sohal... Plan to trap him and put him in purgatory for a while so he'll stop nibbling on coral [emoji52]. I see the flame angel occasionally nip at coral or surface mucus causing temporary retraction, but it doesn't harass anything in particular enough to really be an issue. The Sohal, on the other, takes big bites and of whatever he considers his daily special. He really likes euphyllia and cataphyllia, he ate some of a wall hammer that stung the heck out of me whenever I touched it so he likes it spicy. He killed it, of course, with infection ensuing after his bite damage.
He's the source of basically all my tank problems but he's been mine since 2007 and I'm having a hard time giving him up. And he's freaking gorgeous! If anyone is wondering he's very well fed (including two grazers with nori available 24/7) and he's probably 1-1/2" thick if not more. I just cannot seem to satisfy his appetite and he will nibble even after a big feeding of algae and meaty food.
The crosshatch triggers don't bother any corals and have left the CUC alone, although they quickly attacked a sea apple I tried put in the display, of all things! So it had to go into the refugium, unfortunately. So far they have not bother the one starfish I have.
My wife's aquascape has held up well, even eith this clumsy guy

Wow. Very cool. Do you have any updated photos of your technical area? Such as the mixing station and other equipment.
