3. Barnacles (Lepas) They're way cool. They can actually move the necks to get closer to food and use the feelers like individual fingers! Got it from GCReef

Whole system - 125g (yes after the horrid diatom bloom I am now enjoying a major green algae phase... ;) )

My favorite changes a lot... It's always the needy/sickly one, or the newcomer.

My favorite coral is my Galaxia. I haven't had it long, and just moved it closer to the light, so it's still acclimating.

My favorite fish is the newest resident, he's still quite shy and I have to kinda sneak up on him. I can't remember what he's called, even though I was told a dozen times. Sounds like Tony Llama...

And my favorite invert/weird thing is my hawaiian red feather duster, currently homeless. He's in this contraption until he builds himself a new tube:

Here he is in better times:

Edit.. oh yeah, FTS... I hate these. They always look fuzzy. I take them all the time to compare growth, but you can't make out much.

He sure looks A LOT like this. His dorsal fin isn't pointed or yellow though, spotted like the other fins.

I don't have a fishtank anymore :( so I am going to cheat and use my job's. I'll borrow my mom's camera tomorrow and get pictures

1. Coral: It's just a bright red/pink mushroom but it's really big and for some reason I fell in love with it today. Also, I know it's not a coral, but we have a carpet anemone that's about three feet across that's inhabited by a skunk clown that gives me dirty looks

2. Fish: my lemon shark baby <3

3. Invert: A Diadema urchin that's in the same tank as the carpet

Hm. I cheated and used three different tanks. And technically they aren't mine. But I felt left out. hahaha.
