Of course I get a whiteish colored Sebae that blends into the sand ;Facepalm Hopefully it becomes more noticeable as it grows.

Positive note- it’s foot is holding well and it ate a piece of squid tonight.

Anemone - I took a few pictures of its foot before placing. It took hold of the glass bottom pretty quick where I placed it. I wore gloves because I’ve never handled any others than Rock Flowers.

Love the new additions!
Free hitchhikers can be good or bad pending on the species!

I’ll probably be lucky to ever see these 7 Cardinalfish again :rolleyes: they went straight into the rocks where Wrinkles the Eel lives.

Starry Blenny is hanging out in the rocks and steering clear of the Lawnmower Blenny.


I haven’t seen my Rainford Goby in probably 4-5 days. I hope he’s just being elusive. Last time I saw him he was eating hair algae off a rock.

Yellow Tang, Kole Tang, Melanarus Wrasse and Firefish are left to add. I’m considering a Scopas Tang as well. That would put me at 5 Tangs though ;Woot

Upgrade to 500+gal system is 2yrs away. I’m excited for it but also dreading it already.

Actually about 450g system. Will go through the wall so it’s viewable from living and dining room. Oh the dreams I have of it. ;Greedy

84” x 36” x 26” Display = 340ish gallons
60” x 24” x 18” Sump = 112ish gallons


But I better get this tank in shape for now ;)

Time for an update! I’m doing some major sand stirring today. It looks so much better than it did before. White sand looks so much better than brown ;) I’ll take some pictures when I’m finished.

Sebae Anemone can’t decide what it’s doing. Keeps letting go and flipping over. I’ll turn it back over and it’s mouth will be gaping. It then closes up tight and looks good. Repeats every day....despite trying a few locations. Probably high nitrates and phosphates, haven’t checked in months :rolleyes:

Still no sign of Rainford Goby.

I haven’t seen my Starry Blenny in a week either but he has better luck of blending in.

All Red Stoplight Cardinals are still being their nocturnal selves. I catcher glimpses of them in the rocks from time to time.

Trio of Royal Grammas are existing together well so far!

Yellow Coris Wrasse is awesome and provides great color and movement to the tank.

Trio of Pajamas and pair of Bangaiis are doing great.

Now I’m deciding between a Yellow Eye Kole Tang or a Convict Tang... My wife wants the Convict, I wanted the Kole. Both might be a bit much seeing how I’m definitely getting a Yellow Tang...
