I figured I'd post some photos of stuff...
Some mushrooms I got along with nice LR from fellow RC'er Daywn
This is a 1.5" or so Queen Conch named Fritter. I got it from SITC recently. It is doing a GREAT job keeping the sand clean, and it sure is a wierd little thing. I thought it would be more like a snail, but it is much different than a snail! Those eyes are FREAKY.
This is a very nicely colored Mandarin that I also bought from SITC. It is doing well EXCEPT that it keeps going into my overflow. It is there now. I am going to have to screen my overflow. It is glass and has no strainers/teeth on it, which is how I like it. But this fish cannot seem to resist going for a rid. You would expect a mandarin to hang around the bottom! Oh well... He is really hard to get a picture of, he likes to hang around the darker areas along the rock, so I haven't managed to get a very good picture yet. I had to adjust the white balance on these to make him more visible.
Next is a Yellow Coris Wrasse from SITC. This guy is about 3.5" or so. I wanted it in order to help eat up some flatworms that I recently found in the tank. The flatworms have not been plentiful yet. At their worst I probably only siphoned about 15 of them out of the tank. But I don't want them to get a good foothold or spread from the one small area where I've found them so far. So this was mostly a utilitarian choice, I didn't expect much in the way of looks. Boy was I wrong. This fish is so beautiful and bright, I just can't believe how great it looks in the tank. So I'm very pleased with this guy. It's the strangest thing how they bury themselves in the sand until they are more comfortable in the tank! Before I read about that characteristic I thought it might have jumped out, I couldn't find it anywhere!
The first two are with no white balance adjustment, the camera really picks up the blue from the 14K lamps...
And this one is with the white balance adjusted
