It is. Unfortunately she is not quite as bright as the photo would suggest. I had to modify the image in Photoshop to eliminate the urine-yellow hue photos of my tank always come out as. Hopefully she will be more fluorescent/indigo under actinic and 14,000k halide lighting once I put it in place. She is quite friendly. Later I am going to try to get a video of her eating from my hand.

Here are some photos of some Acroporas I have. I have linked to them as they are 1600x1200 and I don't want to ruin the board's layout. You can see a neat overheard view of my pajama cardinal and some new red zoanthids I found just today in the first one.

It is Jon. I am preparing to take a whole bunch of frags off it, and you can see there is already a piece of it near the anemone. I am having good luck with the growth rate on it, as well as that candy cane, the birdsnest, and a few acros and montis which I have mentioned to you before. My caps aren't doing much though. Everything is also colouring up nicely. I have a brown acro that is beginning to turn turquoise, I am hoping the trend continues.

Quinn,

Is your tang Acanthurus coeruleus or Acanthurus bahianus, do you know? Or is it a different one altogether.

Tony, it was sold to me as A. coeruleus from Brazil by Seacare. I have never heard of A. bahianus until today. Based on the photos of A. bahianus at http://www.korallenriff.de/lexikon/a..._bahianus.html, I would certainly conclude that my tang is an adult A. coeruleus.

Super nice tank Quinn. Are those clowns saddlebacks? They dont look like black percs. Where did you find them?
