What's the first thing you put in your reef?

Xenia. looked cool. Loved the "waving hands". Regretted it every days since I decided to go to SPS instead of softies. It's like the herpes of saltwater tanks.

A blue ricordea which had come loose from its rock. I tried for a week to get it to reattach.. I'm sure I killed it with kindness.

clean up crew, then 3 clowns, 2 chromis. still have the CUC, lost the fish. Started adding corals around 5 months.

Figure out what you want for corals, I've been trying a bit of everything, sps not working well for me out of 6 different frags, 3 are still alive....

Damsels...mean little fish and almost impossible to catch without ripping everything apart

[Lampshade]

Well, i got a bunch of live rock, and a damsel came with one piece... so technically i have that lil bastard as first. I also got some frags from someone shutting down their tank while I picked up rock, lost them all in a heater sticking on though .

I know my damsel was my first fish in my original 8 gallon cube, before I decided to return him for a clown, took me nearly 30 minutes to catch him in my cube!! when I moved my clown into my 20 gallon I caught him with my hand cause he so tame
