I'll buy the liverock. Could you PM me when they are ready to go?

I'm also interested in the BTA, but my tank is not ready yet...

Pair ocellaris clowns -- $40

Sale pending on the clams

Picked up some stuff today guys. Really good stuff. The clowns and RBTAs are really nice. I would suggest buying the clowns and at least one RBTA as they are hosting them all. Go get em.

Hope everything's making the transition to your tank in good form.

Yessir, and surprisingly, the RBTA looks amazing already. I thought it would be really stressed out like we thought for a while, but it is huge and colorful already. My Tomato Clown is already hosting it, and very happy.

Everything else transported well, and even the frags of SPS are looking really good.

Thanks for everything.

Interested in the pair of ocellaris. Do you know how old the pair is? Thanks

The clownfish have been paired up for 3 years now. I've had the female ocellaris for 5 years. She used to be the male of my previous pair (male jumped after a tank move). I paired her up with the male 3 years ago. I purchased both female and male clowns as juveniles. The female is captive bred from ORA while the male is a wild caught clown.

Here are some pictures of the two clams and one of the red BTA's. I never did master reef photography, but hopefully these will do ...
(yeah, they're pretty much the same picture, but I liked them both ... The female clown decided to pop in for a cameo ... )

The blue maxima on the right with the squamosa on the left.

The BTA's are mostly recovered from having the tank rearranged. The clowns keep hoping from one anemone to the other -- it's pretty amusing to watch them swim back and forth always changing their minds as to where they want to be.

Well, the clownfish have a new home, so all that remain are the two clams and two BTA's.

Thanks everyone, all the livestock has now been sold. I'll go through the equipment to get it cleaned up and see if I've got anything else hidden way that might be of interest to someone ...

Thanks again.
