Hi Brad

That is one fine Majestic Angel. As you are well aware it is my favorite angel.
Good luck I hope he works out well for you.

One of my two urchins bulldozed a recent frag off it's mount today, so I was arm-in-tank trying to remount the frag.

The urchin was kind of in the way so I was gently nudging him to "move along...move along". They are quite reactive to touch, btw...if you touch any spine, it will quickly orient additional spines your way.

Anyway...so I'm pushing him along and thinking to myself.."these spines aren't really that sharp..." Oh Yeah?...ZAP!!!

I don't know if they actually contain some sort of venom or something gets injected or not...but let me tell you that you do NOT want to step on a black spiny sea urchin. I was losing a lot of blood and it hurt quite a bit. I would compare it to a wasp sting....except for the bleeding part.

5 minutes later...pain free and you can hardly even see where he got me.

Here is the offender...

your coral colors are amazing ! (hope this help get you to 70,000 too!) but your tank is stunning...very nice! I see why so many people have looked at it!

I think my sea urchin is lonely...from time to time he climbs up to the highest spot he can get to and thinks about lady urchins...

I have gone through your journal twice now, the wife thinks I am a hermit in my den as I have been looking at your tanks progress..Amazing, I am planning a large tank in a few years when I retire, for now I will plug along with my current set-ups.. I gotta ask and believe me I am not trying to be rude, Have you kept a journal of your costs from start to now? I would love to get an idea of what this set-up is worth. I can only imagine. Where did you compile all your designs from for your equipment. All your design or did you get some inspiration from other sources. How is your sea-hare working out? I have a small one in my tank and he is fantastic. Whatever hair algae I had is gone or so small I can't see it. Have you run into anymore issue with your set-up? So many questions I would love to ask you..Maybe there will be a tour and I will get the priviledge of seeing your tank close-up. Once again, "Stunning Tank"
