Livestock:
2 fancy ocellaris clowns (Spot and Flip)
1 royal dottyback (Berry)
1 watchman goby and candycane pistol shrimp (Toby and Pete)
1 diamond goby (Sandy)
1 red linckia starfish

Coral (I love torches!!!):

5 torches ( Holy grail, juicy fruit, indo gold, cotton candy, and unnamed) -yes I know have too many….
