SW-VA Reef Club Picture Thread!

[surfnvb7]

since we have a new forum, i think we should have a new photo thread.

maybe we can get to the point where we continually update it and get it to a sticky status.

let's see if we can't revive the picture thread...

Took a few today hopefully have a few more soon. I'm no expert with a camera so the pictures are not great.

My black and white ocellaris clowns have darkened up nicely. Only a small hint of orange left on their lips.

a few more...

A Rusty Angel that I just picked up, really cool fish and so far he hasn't molested any corals

wow, talk about bringing this thread back from the dead!

things are looking great eric! how many tanks are you keeping now?

i've just got my 50g cube....this pic was 2 months ago. have added a few goodies since then. but trying to limit myself on how many corals i have to make it more aesthetically pleasing....so only keeping my best stuff for now on.

2 sweet new chalices

and....i upgraded my 7g minibow mantis tank to a 10g, b/c of this new addition. say hello to my little friend!! (he's about 3-4inches)

actually, i meant Eric (Cwebbhokie)...but the same question applied to you too.

i just got this mantis a couple of weeks ago. he was living in a ~2g pico cube tank on the desk at Atlantis in Richmond for about the past 2 years after they found him in one of their big show tanks.

apparently he was eating small snails and hitch hiker blue eyed acro crabs....but i havent seen him touch anything like that yet.

he's slapped around 2 big bad crabs i put in there, and an urchin, but only when they got close to his cave.

he has been eating frozen mysis......but to my amazement he is also taking flake food i give to the clown fish in there which is VERY rare IMO for a mantis to take flake food.

so far, he is the coolest mantis i've ever owned. he comes out and looks at me time to time if i sit down in front of the tank. and he'll come out and chase around flake food. every other mantis i've owned i virtually never saw other than their eyes sticking out of the cave.

if i ever have to take a break from the hobby (coral keeping), i will definitely set up a 20g tank with a big ole' peacock mantis in it and a single fish. that would be fun to keep. theres lots of sweet youtube videos of big peacock's in their own tanks.
