Since I sold some frags recently. I used that money to invest more into my reef. Here are some pictures of the goodies. I'm pretty excited.

Here is a tabling acro:



Another purchase today - Hawaiian Flame Wrasse. Absolutely no one is bothering him in my tank. I was quite worried about my twin spot hog bothering him but I got lucky. He was eating frozen food at the store so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Sorry for the fuzzy picture, he's a fast swimmer.


I also bought a clam last week:


And another one:


And a pink pocci:


Pretty excited about my purchases. I bought a couple of other things that are sitting in my frag tank to see if they colour up at all. We'll see. Thanks for looking.

A few random quick shots from tonight:

Yellow Acro - good growth tips


Unknown smooth yellow acro


Purple Pocci, my friend started this as a tiny frag, and it was about half this size when I got it a few months back.


Elegance - my one clown fish goes in here once in a while.


Standard run of the mill pokerstar - I have a feeling my other corals are gonna shade this one , but I can't get it off because it's encrusted all over my live rock.


Unknown baby blue/teal stag. Started as a small tiny white frag that I found out a day later was INFESTED with red bugs the next day. Treated the whole tank for red bugs and this coloured up so nicely. Defnitely one of my favs.


Green Hulk Monti - I have no idea what kind of monti it is but I am diggin these growth tips pattern. This coral has changed so much since I got it.


Lemon Lime Gemmifora I think - LOVE this coral. Slow grower. But I'm finally getting multiple growth tips and encrustation.


I call this my Rusty Acro - when I got it from my friend, it was rust colour, now it's got a pink hue to it. I'm excited for this to grow out. It's probably grown by a third already.


Snappy's Orange Grove - this was just a single nub when I got it. I am digging the thick growth.


Rare baby-blue polyped digi - what a fast grower. I've always liked the digi's growth patterns.


Lobsterboy-bi's pineapple express - this started out as one branch. I like it.


I have no idea what this is, but I like it. ID anyone?

My bluey-purple milli with pink tips. I wish I could let this grow to fill the tank, but unfortunately no upgrading for me. What a fast grower. 1 foot accross now.


First picture I've ever taken of my blotched anthias. I've had a pair of them for a few months already


My purple acro with yellow tips. This thing has grown like crazy as well. It's encrusted onto 3 different pieces of live rock now, so the good thing is I won't be having a rock slide there. I've been pretty fortunate (or maybe skilled) - I have only stacked all of my rock together and never zip tied or glued any together and I haven't had a rock slide yet *knock on wood*


This is the first picture I've taken of my firefish (I forgot what the actual name is. I bought this fish so long ago and did the quick research before buying it but I've got such short term memory that I don't remember). Maybe it's a Helfrichi?


My sun coral which hides in a cave


Thanks for looking all.

Yeah, the lemon lime grows slower than a turtle can walk. I've had the thing since Sept 09. I like rusty too, everybody was asking for a frag of it, but I ain't fragging it unless it runs out of room to grow, and I made sure there's at least a few inches around him for future growth.

Amazing tank. Very nice man.

Do you have any shrimp in there? Curious on account of the flame hawk.

I HAD a couple of large cleaner shrimp. But the Candy Hog ate one a few months ago and just ate the other 2 nights ago.
