I feel like we all have our own creative outlets but each one is a little different. Making Aragocrete is easy, making it artistic is the difficult part. Mine are plain old rock looking but there are people that make beautiful Aragocrete scapes.

Oh my - a big congratulations to you and your wife! Champagne toast all around!
 
@ESABOE sorry to read about Frankie. Dwarf angelfish? It is 50/50 but they graze. Too many wrasse also to choose. One I like also a lot is borbonius anthias.
Thank you Remi. Frankie was the orange shoulder Tang.

Borbonius Anthias is my dream fish - but I could never afford. I was looking at a Sunburst Anthias because they look similar- but not as goofy cute as Borb Anth.

Yes I remembered he was the orange shoulder. Sunburst is good too. On the small shape but a lot smaller is as advised by Tim is the green warpaint clown goby (he is the missing fish on my wish list). You could look at dwarf angelfish, it depends to the individual fish if he nips or not but no need to rehome it (tank size compared to a tang). Mine is sick but otherwise he is the fish who use the best my aqua scape (tunnel, up, down, grazing everywhere, going everywhere). I have more difficulty to type on touch screen compared to keyboard, I should improve.

Oh, I’m sorry misunderstood ur last post. Yes, I am looking at green goby and i will also look at dwarf angelfish - are there different kinds or is that the name?

I am the non native English lol, I forget to type fully what I have in my mind and take shortcut. Green clown goby is the name (very small and like perching), dwarf angelfish is the common classification (coral beauty, flame, cherub, eibli... Are names), they can be nipper 50%.

Your English is better than most!! Thanks for the classification
 
Looking really good. Nice growth on those SPS!!
I got them big, they were on sale. My tank is not growing fast (surely because of phosphate). I was thinking if they take real estate, I might stop buying frags weekly :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:.
