Lance's 225 gal tank

Some fish pics and one weird snail

There is no hair algae in this tank except for this thatch growing on the back of a large Turbo snail. "Hey Buddy! You're supposed to eat it not wear it."

This guy is a beautiful fish but what a dink! He hogs most of the food, spits sand over everything, splashes water all over and loves to harrass smaller fishes. He may end up in Dave's huge FOWLR one of these days.

Nice pics, everything looks healthy Except for that snail! Nobody in the tank eats it off the turbo? Wierd

No. Weird eh? The LM Blenny scarfs back HA but won't touch it from the snail.

Great pics Lance. Some really nice looking fish there.

Looks great... Almost makes me want to get a few large fish instead of a bunch of small ones.

Big fish are fun. But remember big fish = big poop = big skimmer!

So, my CBB has developed a liking for zoas........
I put 3 new frags I bought at the swap last Sunday in the tank and something has been picking at them. I caught him this morning right after the lights came on. The weird thing is that there are lots of zoas already in the tank he doesn't touch. I guess he figures if it's new it must be food. Now that he has a taste for them I hope he doesn't go for the old ones.

These he leaves alone but the new arrivals he gobbles up. I guess I'll have to move the new ones to the other tank..........little bastard!

And some more:

Chocolate Tang and Toby the Goby peeking out of his barnacle

More clowns. You can just see the tail of the wifey ahead of him. I just can't seem to get these two in the same pic.

ClamFish

PJ Cardinalfish (Crappy pic! Easiest fish to photograph and I come up with this lame shot)

Only two fish I didn't get. Ruby Headed Wrasse and Coral Beauty Angel. They are both very camera shy and won't co-operate, but I'll get them next time.
