Some interesting pictures

For most of yesterday, my SHs were doing their dance and mating ritual, In the evening (around 6pm or so) I look in and see that they arent dancing around any more and the male didn't quite get all the eggs in so I had my girlfriend (I am horrible with cameras) snap some pics to share with you all

The eggs fell off within 30 minutes or so and were eaten by my sun coral.

Beautiful! What kind of horsies? they have pretty zebra stripes! Its too bad that the eggs fell off. *mumble*Sun coral you dirty bXstard*mumble*
PS, How do you keep inverts with stinging tentacles with sea horses?

WWCC, they are erectus
I try to chose corals that dont have reputations for being nasty (nothing with sweepers) and usually take the advice from the .org about tankmates, I havent had any issues so far (knock on wood). Ive seen the SHs 'lay' across the sun corals and looked closely at them afterward for signs of any damage, I havent noticed any detrimental effects. (good thing too, Id have to have another tank set up if I couldnt have sun corals in the same tank as my SHs! I really love the sun corals!)

Thanks mattkd5!!

And Im sorry, I just noticed I didnt answer your second question...

Yes, it is chaetomorpha algae, I have a ton of it and throw about a basketball sized mass of it away every 2-3 weeks or so.

Nice looking erectus! I may have to look you up sometime when I am in your area & go through your trash -- I am sick of having to buy chaeto and I will be setting up a new tank soon...
