Those big clams are just stunning and that maze coral (the round one) is just perfect. Just beautiful! Not many fish in there tho, or are they just hiding/well camouflaged?

Thanks, yeah the clams are getting bigger everyday, kinda scary. That maze was basically the first coral I ever bought, it's done quite well and definitely one of my favorites. No not too many fish, not a whole lot out there that'll fit in. I would like a another dwarf lion and some more horses, but no rush.

current stock
  • fu-man-chu lion
  • zebra lion
  • 2 seahorses
  • filefish
  • boxfish
  • engineer goby
  • spotted mandarin
  • foxface
  • striped pipefish

I got the purple one on the right from a local hobbyist who got it when it was only 3 inches, I bought it about 5 years back at about 6-8 inches, now it's close to 18". The other big ones were already fairly large when I got them and the smaller croceas range from around 6 to 1 year.
