That pink tube sponge is awesome!

[Mr Cob]

looks amazing...love the coco worm... one of my favorite corals.

[txg8gxp]

I like the crazy little razor clams or whatever they are. The one in the same pic as the coco worm. I also really like the orange carnation, who doesn't like those. If you don't there is something wrong with you j/j :)

[tebstan]

I can't look at this pic and not stare at the poop. :lauging:

The coco worm doesn't usually look so angry... the shrimp must have been passing by. The red gorg has shown tremendous tissue regrowth, I'm very happy about that one. This is the first FTS of my tank that came out well! :bigsmile:

[saabtech]

love that background. Is that like a top water view? it looks like you are under the ocean looking up to the surface.
great looking tank!

[tebstan]

Thanks! I love that background too. I'm always torn between letting coraline cover the back wall or leaving it clear. The background gives an illusion of depth, but a blob of coraline ruins it.

This pic wasn't taken with nearly as good a camera (or photographer). :blushing: I drank my morning coffee while watching a snail have his breakfast, so thought I'd share one of my favorite pics. I'm fascinated by the "teeth."

that rockwork is super cool.

[ErikH]

I have that same background! :) They have a larger version at Hobby Lobby. Your tank looks very nice, Mine looks brown and boring these days.

[tebstan]

I'm a sucker.

I love the tang personality, especially sailfins. So when I saw an itty bitty desjardini, I fell in love. :wub:

I worried about bringing home another tang, unsure how my hippo would feel about a newcomer. Turns out the hippo is a big coward and hid in the rocks while every other fish investigated the intruder. It was the bellus angel that felt like asserting her dominance, doing a number on the little guy's dorsal.

This morning everyone seems to have worked out their issues. The angel is ignoring the sailfin, and the hippo has crawled out from his hiding place. I've seen the tangs cruising around together already. Now I just have to wait for the dorsal to heal. Ouch!

Hey, I see elvis in the corner following his new buddy.

[tebstan]

Yep, Elvis likes the new tang. Not sure how the new tang feels about Elvis though, he keeps trying to escape his follower!

Now to name the new guy... is it tacky to give him the same name as my last sailfin?

[tebstan]

Wow, fins heal fast. Over night there is noticeable improvement. He should be back to normal within a few more days. He's eating like a champ and already more bold than cowardly little Elvis.
