Hello,

@NY_Caveman wow your tank is amazing and gorgeous nice job on it. What are your plans for it for the new year?

My immediate plans, as in the next week or two, are an Emerald Crab and this:

Spotcinctus Clown (A. bicinctus)

I have debated a Clarkii style clown for over a year. I really love the darker and yellower color and a true Clarkii was my favorite owned fish ever. It is also a natural host for my anemone and the coloring will offer the perfect contrast I seek.

The problem is will the size work in a 45 with a 30 gallon display? After flipping my decision back and forth, I am going to do it. To be clear, this clown and the anemone will be the top priorities in the tank. Everything else is expendable to rehoming. Everything, corals and fish. This is what I really set this tank up for. I am through being wishy washy and I am finally going to do it.

Snails are at it again.

Went to the side and found a Nerite trying to get into the act.

Probably plotting how best to knock over SPS frags. I said a while back if the Nerites ever joined in the attack it could spell our doom.

I added the IM Gourmet Feeder with some seaweed in an attempt to break up the party

Dirty little snails

I have several funny things I want to write, but I am not ready to be banned. I will let this speak for itself. I love how they know to go to the return nozzles to spew.


EDIT: I did turn off the returns in this case to shoot the video.

Cool to see a video. I've seen my Glass covered on occasion, but never knew how it happened.

But I did once see a Pencil Urchin do some kind of Spawn thing. I was too stunned to grab my camera, but it was like a volcano eruption that lasted about 5 minutes and clouded my whole tank.
