Starting to add some new critters...
 This guy is sure cool! He is surprisingly mobile.     Pistol shrimp and goby pair. Always busy digging about, this is an amazing combo! The instant the shrimp touched down it began to dig dig dig! Within minutes there was a burrow large enough for both of them!   I could watch this little guy for hours. His filter arms are so delicate and busy. He really goes to work when it's feeding time.

Camera
Hi Christy!
Thanks for the nice words! Canon PowerShot S400 is the camera I use for the shots. It has a macro feature that seems to reach through the glass and capture some really clear images! I even use it for little movies. I am not much of a photographer, but sometimes I get lucky  Thanks again!

Thanks for the info. Do you use a flash when you take the pics? I just can't believe how incredibly sharp and well lit they are. Oh and I know about digicam pics. I get about 2 shots per 40 turn out to my liking
 Christy

Hi Tony!
Thanks for the comments! The red rose is only a day old in my tank. The aquarium shop I frequent in Calgary has excellent specimens that are so healthy and bright. This particular anemone already had a mated crab and looked so nice it seemed an obvious choice. I will find out what lights he uses to maintain them. This guy is always bringing in neat stuff! I got my Goby/Pistol Shrimp pair from him, too. I am new to the hobby and am enjoying so much this little speck of ocean in my family room. Chad (a.k.a. Fish) helped me select the lights for my tank - 2x250W 10k Metal Halides, 2x VHO, 2x Actinic. Cheers!

Camera Flash
 you are so right, Christy!2 out of 40 sounds about right! The flash on the camera is what I use. Sometimes the angle is off and it reflects, but most of the time it punches through the glass with ease. It's been a good little camera!
