New Shipment

After much hesitation.. I finally ordered fish and critters online. WOW I'd do it again! I was impressed that everything arrived alive and took little time to get used to things and start eating. My cleaner clam took all of 5 seconds to disappear under the sand, I'm guessing I won't see it much.

Here I'm temperature acclimating my new coral and a lot of crabs and snails.



My last coral beauty jumped out of the tank so I'm trying again. This is just a little guy.

I'm also going to try my hand at a starfish, so I opted for a Brittle Star.

Once in the tank after acclimation he immediately began moving around, looking for a good home. He's not settled into some rockwork.

I also got a Green Ricordea frag, it opened up almost immediately.


The Porcelain Crab found a niche and started picking at the rocks.



A quick shot of my GSP.




The Queen Conch is rather boring but hopefully she starts cleaning up!




My Zoos are looking a tad better, still not stretching up much but at least they are opening again.






Here's the Coral Beauty again... and her sister Flo.





A Jade Hermit and a Turbo Snail... not sure if they are kissing or fighting.... erm... yeah..

Merry Christmas!

To whomever reads my blog... Merry Christmas from My Family (including Butterfly, Rocky, Little Mermaid, Hercules, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella)!

Been a while...

First off... I figured out how to take pictures of clowns... when they are sleeping! Here are some recent pictures of Hercules and the Little Mermaid.



Wow I know that look... same look I get when I wake up Darren.



I wanted a sleeping shot of my GSP too to show their growth... each piece has put on at LEAST 1" since attaching to the rock. The one on the right is growing like a weed and has almost doubled in size in th last month.



Remember my tiny little purple mushroom... yeah well it grew!


*giggles* My disgusting sump! So glad that sucker is hidden behind the wall.
