I took a picture of them but they are sooooo white and the water was a little cloudy from the bottom being stirred up that it really didnt turn out well. I'll take one today after work and stick it up.
My latest fish should arrive in about 2 hours, the tank will be dark and need to be dark for a couple hours after that, but I definitely should be able to get a picture tonight.
So I'm doing something different today... rather than QT, I'm diong a formalin laced freshwater dip. I've done this before and had good results but then went to using the QT method instead. For this time though, it only makes sense to place directly into my display so I'm going to try out freshwater dips again as a preventative.
I'm also planning on treating the main tank again with copper later on down the road, now that I know I can do it easily, so I'm not tooooooo worried about disease although in the past with my 75g when I formalin freshwater dipped my fish, I never had a single ich outbreak or velvet or flukes or anything, so I was either incredibly lucky or it actually worked.

Yeah, I have 7 bottles of cupramine stocked underneath my tank in my stand now 
I'm ready for treatment if needed and I've got one of the 250ml containers of cuprisorb too, so I'm ready for that should the need arrive.
The new fish? I'll give you a hint, the box weighs 26 pounds according to FedEx.

Anthias?

Nope, but I really thought about getting anthias, my main concern is getting them enough food, there are weekends I'm away from the house the entire weekend and basically only feed Friday night then Sunday night, so I dont think anthias are up my alley. Although I did ask on the Reef Fish forums and quite a few people are able to get their anthias to eat the 1mm pellets, so with the use of an automated feeder I probably could have done it.

Wow, I thought my emperor was the best looking fish I've ever seen, but this queen is just crazy beautiful.
I can't get over how beautiful the Queen is. Amazing photography too!

Mmmm, kind of close... 5 of the 9 bags are flame angels.
Unfortunately, I ordered one 3" one and 4 2" ones, and they are all basically the same size, there is one that is slighty bigger but not the inch bigger I was hoping for... they are a good size for being hardy and acclimating better, but I wish 4 of them were just a little bit smaller.

And then here are the contents of the other bags... I've been wanting a small "school" of convict tangs for a while, so since everything was on good sale and if you spend more than $225 with Blue Zoo you get free shipping, it basically was about $10 a tang So I went ahead and did it.
So I went ahead and did it.
