Oh!!! It was Brian! Happy Belated Birthday @Usarmy227 !

I decided to get myself a present thanks @tbrown for reminding me. I ended up getting Micro Brittle Starfish x 5, Trochus Snail × 5, & a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp. Now the question is do you think a small orchid dottyback will kill any of those? I really wanted to pick up some Trochus snails so hopefully they reproduce in my tank lol.

I have an orchid dotty. she hasn't been an issue to any of those but has kicked around frags and attacked my hand a lot.

Well mine is small and aqua cultured and the biggest wimp so far lol. They literally sit in a whole in the back of the rockwork right against the wall & have been sitting there for two weeks and if I walk in the room they dart back into the whole so far lol. Hopefully they get a bit more adventurous but who knows haha.

I didn't think dottys did well in groups. I bet that's stunning.
 
Hello family!
I just got home from having surgery today. I had a small mass in the right side of my groin. They also removed three lymph nodes to send to pathology.
I didn't want to worry any of you, so I decided to tell you afterwards. Its not concerning for cancer, so please don't worry. They are unclear if the mass is from toxic exposure in the military. Hopefully the pathology report will give us a hint.

Much love to all my Smorg family and I apologize for not telling you all sooner.

Rock that's exactly what we're here for brother. With that being said, we respect your privacy. How long are you laid up for man? We've gotta get you some playlists up. Prayers start now, and since everything seems good, I think they're also retroactive.
