I'll see what I can do. He's tough though as he is always chasing my purple pseudochromis around :-) Actually the male doesn't look all that different. Just a deeper pink with a tall dorsal fin that's terminated with black on the tips.

I heard you have a Candy Hogfish? Any Pictures? lol

Has never munched on any of my corals or inverts. In fact, he prefers grazing on algae off the rocks and glass, but will eat anything I throw in the tank.

Thanks guys :-) Just playing around with a new (old) lens I picked up not too long ago. Seems to be OK. So ya, not too shabby for a used ten year old lens that I picked up on kijiji for $250 :biggrin:

Wow thats a pretty sweet digi collection!

Beautiful tank, and great pics,... almost like a pro photographer... haha.

I heart blastos. Looks awesome!

Thank you Kien!

I was perusing the boards looking for info on placement for a couple of new frags when I found a coral on your 'growth' post that is the same as one I've been trying to name for two years!

it was an acropora austera this whole time......who would have thought.

Ta,

There really isn't much to update. Tank is still there, doing its thing. The tank has been running for 5 years now so I guess that's a big milestone ! :-)
