 thats what i was thinking  Gorgeous achilles  How big is it?Its funny how the heirachy works in tanks. I've just recently discovered that my scopas tang can be a mean bugger when he wants to. Which is weird as he's never shown any aggression before to any newcomers. Fish are strange critters

The Achilles is large. Maybe 6"? He's bigger than the Naso and the Yellow, but about the same size as the Trigger.

Oh yes...it was also interesting to watch the Yellow Tang use his tail blades. I always wondered how the fish would actually use them to attack/defend.

I don't think the tank has changed too much...but here's a unique view. This is what you get with a panarama close up with a wide angle lens.
You can see, I'm in the cyano stage....

Yay cyano! Fun fun. But, if it's any consolation, the tank is looking good anyhow. I love the "gorg tank" look (I realize some of them are actually sponges). Actually about the sponges - are they feeding on phyto or zooplankton or anything like that?

I feed phytoplankton every day. I'm not currently feeding zooplankton, but I do intend to. I'm pretty sure that the sponges would be feeding on nothing larger than phyto, but I've not been able to find any research that confirms that this is what the sponges actually consume. It could be bacteria. The branching orange sponges seem to be doing OK. However, the tall red sponges are dying fast. The yellow ball sponges can't seem to fend off algae...and I have two types of other red and orange sponges sheltered in the rocks that seem to be doing fine. So if one type of sponge might be getting what it needs, some other types are clearly not.
