This is s short video which I think I posted a while ago of the ‘monster’ sand anemones I have, I believe spawning or whatever they do. I find it fascinating and worth watching for anyone who didn’t see it

Someone asked me for an up to date stocking list of fish so here it is. A couple are missing presumed eaten by the crabs so.... the 2 missing tangs I think we’re bullied by the other fish and I haven’t added anymore. The tank is established now with territories marked out, food sources protected, so any new additions have a hard time.

Regal Angelfish
Flame Angel
Coral Beauty
Yellow Tang
Regal Tang
Purple Tang
Chevron Tang
Freckle Face Tang
Kole Tang
Tomini Tang
Blue Eyed Tang - missing
Vampire Tang - missing
Blonde Naso Tang
Pair of Blue Throat Triggers that have spawned on at least 2 occasions
Pair of clown fish
Magnificent Foxface
Laboute Wrasse - missing
Lineatus Fairy Wrasse
Yellow Wrasse
1 Yellow Goby
Royal Gamma
Starry Blenny
5 Green Chromis
5 Azure Damsels
7 Lyretail Anthias
Neon Dottyback

I don’t think I’ve forgotten anyone!

Not that I’ve checked of course, but these appear to be Reef safe as well! Lol

I think I’ve finally found the green star polyp ‘murderer’ that’s taken over from the menace of the Asterina starfish.

I’ve been watching ‘the accused‘ for the last few days and having stripped the coral from the centre the tank it’s now making a meal of the rest.......

Great pics. :)
I mostly shoot corals because they sit still! ;)

Thanks Simon, trying to get a half decent shot is a nightmare, the worst is the flame angel, he never stops! Lol


Awesome tank and awesome photo skills!

I did a quick search and couldn't find what you shoot with? What are you using body and lens combo?

Thank you and thanks for stopping by.

I’m very much a beginner on the photography but am enjoying it and the tank and occupants make perfect subjects, when they stay still anyway! Lol

I use a Canon EOS 750D with the standard lens, but I also have the Canon EF100mm Macro IS USM which creates very good pictures. It was also quiet expensive unfortunately!
