Various pics
Here's a few pics:
Emperator checking out a recently transferred sarcophyton: A beautiful sarc that used to have a certain Dobie we all know and love watching over it.... (It's probably 12" across fully inflated) Here's a pic of a white BTA that only lived for 4 weeks. It's pictured beside the one that it split off of. : I'm not sure if you can make it out, but this is a picture of an orangeball anemone. It's a hitchhiker, and is about 3/4" across. You may be able to see the orange ball tips on the end of each tentacle. The mouth s/b visible as well. This is a picture of me blasting the corals.: Here's another hitchhiker I didn't know I had....a 1" black nudibranch: And one of my favorite corals that has tripled in size since I bought it years ago: closed brain: Mitch |

Thanks!
The sand is probably still white from the sea swirls constantly pushing it away from the front of the tank. :? I would like to try to figure out how to modify things to minimize that. Otherwise, I've got a tiger tail cuke working away in there. How the BTA became white, I have no idea.... :shock: . I found it 2 weeks before I moved, and it lived for 2 weeks after. It would keep moving away from the light. Before that, I had bought 1 regular BTA 3 years ago, and it had multiplied into 9. The one regular BTA that you see has already split into two....after 3 months.... :? . (Those things are as bad as xenia.... ) The golden angel...do you mean the butterfly? That's my little aptaisia eating buddy! He's keeping the xenia in check now, too! Mitch |

Yes I do have SPS, and I was told that he may nip at some corals, but at the time, I had an extremely bad aptasia problem. My LFS told me that I could bring him back if there were any problems. So far, almost all my aptasia are gone, and nips have been few and far between, and only on one SPS and xenia(brown acro only. I haven't seen him nip at the hydnophora, pocillopora or birdsnest). Nothing regular so far to affect a medium to large SPS colony. (though I think that it would vary with the individual fish) I wouldn't put him in with SPS frags. He eats any and all frozen food I put in.
