I only say the claws and the testicles! Therefore my deduction is a pistol shrimp and $60 bucks worth of porcelain crabs for free :)

Perhaps you meant tentacles? :) Either way, seems applicable.

Update time! Tank is doing well, I did a water change on Thursday that perked things up a bit! I ordered a Yellow Wrasse and some beginner SPS, I added them today. The wrasse swam around for 2 mins and then dissapeared! Not been seen since, I also added a tiny pistol shrimp that I would hope meets up with the Goby, Only time will tell.

In other news, I one the $2300+ Apex system in the Reef2Reef partner drive. I cant actually believe it and look very much to seeing how that will work out!

I actually used some Caribsea life rock as a bigger plug. This way I can move the corals around easily until I find the right spot.

Right I ordered my final fish for now. The fish I have gotten so far with the exception of the clown all perform a task that help the tank, although the Goby is having identity issues at the moment! So the next occupant is a Kole Tang that arrives on Saturday. I may have had a finger skip as well and ordered another SPS. Well you know, it made s sense as I got free shipping !

The Corals I added last week are doing amazing with the exception of the Shortcake. I have not seen the polyps come out on that yet! The birds nest though. Well that think is sprouting all over !!

Yeah it was on my list from the start. I just wanted to get the other crew first before that went in. Now I know I risk aggression when I add again. But I felt the need for a algae control fish was greater than the risk! and from a pure aesthetics perceptive I wanted something that would add full tank activity, if you know what I mean.

Kelvin the Kole Tank joined the crew today. So that’s me done with fish for a while! Anything I add from now on will be More aimed toward looks. So if anyone has any ideas let me know! I’m looking for ideas in a show piece fish for the tank.

Also I dragged that pallicopora and took it off that ugly black plug. I stuck little pieces onto the same rock as the newly added Bushy Tongan Acropora. Hope to get some better pics later today or tomorrow.

I have not done a water change this week. Last time I did one was last Thursday. All
Parameters are good. I will do one tomorrow after the tang settles in!

I hope you figure it out soon because I'm about to start my build. You're going to make it tough to compete with your build thread.

Took some shots with the DLSR tonight. Getting ready for a water change tomorrow. Also ordered a few little bit from @AquaLocker , I am very keen to see how they compare to Live Aquaria. Right off the bat, the ordering system is a lot more user friendly.
