Man that's no good. At least you guys got on one. How much longer do yall have out there, and I've been meaning to ask you what caliber you're using
 
in my tank. must have been an egg from TBS long ago.
So you had a random pistol shrimp living in your tank all this time? Maybe he's part of the reason why your frags were getting shifted and buried?
 
Very nice man!
looking forward to him darkening up and tail yellowing more. there does seem to be some aggression. the blue devils are not happy. and the clowns that don't bother anyone don't like them at their wall.

A small section of the acrylic was cleaned today before we had to stop so I took pics of the Duncan and Fungia I received from corals.com a few weeks ago. The Strawberry Shortcake is too far away to get a good pic and the acrylic isn't clean there right now.
