Identity
 

Please tell me if you know what kind of mushrooms these are. also changed the tank around a little to fit new corals in.

coming along nicely :)

TY.

Is it just me or when you buy new coral you have to reorg your entire tank in order to get it to stay somewhere you want it?

Yep, pretty much! :D Then you'll have to rearrange a few more times when you find out the new coral doesn't like the spot you picked.

Added some new pics
 

just 8 new Misc pics of my tank and some of its residents.

Cool...looking good! I love the Tobacco Bass....neat.

How's the cuc doing?

the cuc is doing better, not great but better. i have adjusted my flow away from him and hes starting to perk up a little now. thanks for asking. i love the tobbacco bass as well. i thought the rusty angel had its own personallity but the bass is the most mellow and odd fish in my tank . its funny how he lays down i certain parts of the tank, like hess just going to CHILL for a while. plus his eyes are insane. they are either any shade of Blue or Green depending on how the light hits them .

Your Tobacco Bass looks cool.

I have a Chalk Bass and a Highfin Perchlet in my RSM. The Perchlet sounds like it is very similar in behaviour to your Tobacco Bass.

cool i was going to get a chalk bass initally but then i saw the tobbacco in the next tank and well made my choice. still looking for another type of similar fish be it another bass or not, i just really like his mannerisms.

Brent do you have any pics of the perchlet?

No, It has only been in the tank a couple days so is still pretty shy. He's perched out front at dusk but hides much of the day and sleeps in a cave at night.

Also, my cheap camera stopped working on the weekend. I bought a new camera last night so will hopefully get a picture of it soon – I’ll have to see what kind of pictures I can get with the “Aquarium” mode.

i have 3 underwater settings on mine the only one thats decent is the macro. but its for UNDERWATER. i need to give this a try jsut worried the camera will leak .

Cool look forward to seeing it

Have fun with the new camera.

just wondering what a good location would be for this guy? im thinking sand bed as there is a great spot with med flow and a cave for his footing . what do you think? would higher be better due to lighting? also how does one "spot feed" appropriatly ? is they odd mysis and brine, aswell as cyclopeeze that he will get due to normal feedings enough? this spot is in a good flow spot as far as food being carried in the draft as it below one korialia nano and in front of the korialia 1 that is behind my rock.

don't worry about placement too much, he will move where he wants to. I got a green BTA and he has moved 2 times in one month.

i am just worried mostly about the feeding as i have tried one before and it did ok for about amonthe and then............ :puppydog: :puppydog:

Added 3 new pics one of my new tank setup as i am actually starting to like where everthing is . a close up of 1 of my fire shrimp. and a good shot of my cleaner shrimp CARWASH.

Your tank is coming along nicely. Looks good

Nice man, your tank is coming along nicely and clean too!

Very nice. Not often a cleaner comes out so bravely for a pic.

Nice looking tank. Who is keeping your sand so clean?

I would say it's the sand sifting starfish in the second to last pic. A poor choice for a small tank...it will quite likely starve to death within 3-9 months.

that star has been there since day 1 and i have a second that has been there a good 3 monthes. they seem to like the pellets that fall to the bottom. i thought 1 might die but they are still growing. got it for nothing so i put er in and is doing well. 2nd one that is. also have a pair of snails (dovetail not sure the latin) somewhere in the sand.

you cant tell from my picks my rock "floats" on LR base. few places they CANT go.

Nice rock work looks great.

is that a toadstool in the top middle? i like that coral.

ya thats a toadstool. looks odd because of the gorg behind it.
