Holy Diatoms!

The new tank is going on 9 days old.. so far doing well except for one HUGE diatom bloom. I'm thinking it's because of the new sand I mixed in with the live sand because the move to my 90 didn't cause a diatom issue.

Up first is my emerald crab! Yes I have a red emerald crab.. don't ask.. anyway she's doing great!



This is my new foxface... I tried to assure him that NO ONE could see him there, he was safe! He's the worlds whimpies fish... the second I walk by the tank he loses his color, splotches up and falls "dead" to the sand. Here he's left the sand but is still splotchy.


I got my tongue coral! Yay! I've wanted one for a LONG time. The angle is weird because of an algae issue on the glass... I'll clean it as soon as the foxface quits playing dead. The coral hasn't opened up yet, it's still pretty closed up.


Here he is with color! He's gorgeous isn't he? He will be a sweet fish too, they are very docile except for when they put up their back fins and poke you... that'd be a poison similar to a bee sting but 5 times strong... but other than that he's sweet!
