It is! Helfrichis was the dream but I settled for the mildly cheaper option

Its looking good! Finally I'm at the one year mark. For a beginner like me I'd say I did half decent

Which one? The left, middle, or right?
The middle is a purple tip frogspawn, left is a devils hand, and right is a sinu.
Or the big yellow guy in the very center of the tank is a toadstool, not sure the morph as it’s a petco coral, might be a willow.

Most unfortunately, Luxo seems to have killed the firefish. I’ve been waiting to make a conclusion for a while, but it has been a week since I last saw the firefish, and the last time I did see him, he was being relentlessly chased and beaten up. I looked all around to see if it jumped and checked the filter. It probably died overnight and was “cleaned up”. I feel really bad for the poor fish. It definitely had a great presence in the tank…

Welcome to the forum!
Not too much since last post, just been letting the tank be. I’ve been tossing around the idea of a fourth fish, but I’m not sure.
Coral wars have been going, the sinu is getting so big that it’s upsetting my frogspawns.
Already lights out but I’ll get an updated pic tomorrow!

Sorry, it’s been a while since an update…
My tank is unfortunately in a rough spot right now. Marine velvet somehow crept its way into the system and has killed the royal gramma. I suspect the clown wasn’t the only factor that played into the firefish’s death. That death was weeks ago however, but sometimes these parasites stick around unnoticed for a while. I’m currently fighting off the illness with lowered lighting schedules, higher temperature, and eventually a fallow period. I’m having trouble getting my goby out so that’s delaying how soon I can begin the fallow. Surprisingly, he’s completely unaffected by the disease so far.
I got the clownfish out and in copper. She was very quickly getting worse and I didn’t think she’d pull through, but things are starting to improve in the QT tank. I’ll keep you guys posted with the treatment, and hopefully I can find a way to get the goby out without completely tearing apart the entire scape.

Thanks! The Xenia is a pain as much as it is beautiful though!
