Messing around with my new camera again. Definitely need a macro lens for the coral + porthole and also need a tripod for better shots. Enjoy!

How has the box fish been, because i know you are a zoa addict, i have heard they like to nibble on the zoas. You have a stunning tank by the way!

My boxfish had been a model citizen. He is an extremely passive fish and doesn't nip at any of my corals. I've had him for almost 2 years now. He even survived my velvet outbreak. If you do consider keeping one be aware that they are extremely prone to ich or other parasites because they don't have any scales. Surprisingly he is a pretty aggressive eater at feeding time as well.

Wow really cool fish, don't boxfish grow to a foot in length? Also have you ever had trouble with the toxins they can release?

LA says they get to 1' 6" but considering the growth rate of mine that will take ages. I've never had any issues with toxins even when he was majorly stressed (Cupramine treatment for velvet/during outbreak). I do run at GAC reactor though.
