Your tank is looking awesome! What are the yellow and black stripped fish? Can't say as I've seen those before.

Thanks!
Those are pilotfish, they normally hang around sharks and get to be 2-3 feet long! They are moving to there final home soon that is much much bigger, then they can live with sharks too!

I finally had some time to write an update on my tank. This year has been a big learning time for me with the tank. I ended up with a really bad algae outbreak and had to make some tough decisions about my tank. I initially decided to sell my set up, because I couldn't keep up with school and other things going on with our family. I was working on selling off my corals first, then the fish, and then the set up...after I got through selling most of my corals I was not ready to sell off my fish. This told me that it wasn't time to get rid of the whole thing.
So I have started leaning towards only doing a fish only...still with a few corals left though...It's not easy selling stuff from your tank piece by piece, there was a 3 week period where I had people coming here to get corals...one or two at a time...Then I decided to keep the tank going. Through the winter I realized my Blonde Naso Tang "MO" was getting too big for my tank, so I gave him to someone. He now lives with another Naso Tang in a much bigger tank. I also had to get rid of my squirrel fish because I think they ate some of my anthias and cardinal fish. They also are in a new tank now, and apparently are not eating anything in their tank... I ran into a problem this winter with aiptasia. It was starting to grow everywhere. So I got a Copperband Butterfly "Winston". Winston was an awesome fish. He would eat from our hands, follow us around the tank, and was a fantastic fat fish. And he ate all the aiptasia!!! Eventually he started picking on my clams, so I sold them with my corals. A couple weeks ago, Winston got stung by my rose bubble tip Anemone pretty badly. Sadly, he didn't make it though the night. It was awful, we still miss him lots. It's strange because all of the fish stay away from the anemone... RIP Winston.  When I sold off most of my corals I decided to get a juvenile emperor angel. I always wanted one but with all my corals I couldn't get one. I still have the long tentacle plate coral and bubble coral and so far, he hasn't touched them. At the same time I also got a cowfish. He is a pretty cool fish, but within a day he had ich. He seems to be handling it OK, but my yellow tang seems to have it now. He has never had it before. I am hoping that since all my fish are fat and healthy they will manage to fight it off. I am using garlic guard in their food...also feeding some of the medicated food, but have to be careful that my anemones don't get it... That's about it for now. I am finding it a challenge to manage school, the tank, travel, family time etc etc. Now that my algae outbreak is under control it is much easier to manage the tank though. The pilot fish are the black and yellow striped ones. They are super cool, but are quickly outgrowing my tank. I have a larger tank lined up for them already, but they have to be a certain size before they can go into that tank also.
