Moved the green RFA to where my other 2 are, hopefully he chooses to stay in that area. Here are some tank shots as well as all of my anemones.

Picked these up the other day along with a mini-maxi who has when under a ledge where I cannot get a photo of it at the moment.

Colors where irresistible on this mushrrom rock.

I had to get rid of the clams until I could catch this pygmy angel out of my tank. Turns out he really liked palys, clams, and purple firefish fin. I've been trying the past 3 days with a success today. He was trickier than the plenty wrasse I have removed. Yesterday I picked up a nice size brain maze coral for a really good deal. Today I picked up the gold maxima (after bringing in the angel) and a single rhodactis mushroom to go with the others I recently got. The maze coral came with some zoa\paly polyps on the back of it which a removed and attached to a separate rock. They look like they may turn out to be some really nice palys. Photos of clam/rhodactis/and hitchiker polyps to come. For now here is the brain when I got it, and the tank this evening after arranging a few things for the new additions.

Thanks. I'm moving to a 40 breeder from a 125 and was hoping to do a couple different flashers.

Add Liopropoma swalesi to the list! Very interesting fish, and the orange coloration is so bright in person. I made sure to get severally photos as he may not make himself present often, but I hope he does eventually. There is a decent amount of cave work in the rock for him to call home.

Are you still happy with your powerheads? I'm starting my 40 breeder build and have plans on using these powerheads, this return pump, and these leds. How does this look? Your tank is absolutely the best looking tank I've seen in quite some time by the way!
