The Kole Tang is being a prick to the Blue Assessor. I can't get a pic right now. So I will attach a photo of "one in general". But, WOW are they ever nicer in person than in photos!! I've heard this before, but really photos do no justice, it just GLOWS under the actinics, I didn't expect that!!

I just fed the tank PE Mysis with a drop of fresh squeezed garlic. I blew a bunch at the Jawfish, and he grabbed a few pieces, but spit them out immediately. He is very active though, so I have hope yet. The Kole couldn't care less about him.

My Kole was the same way to ALL new fish. I used a mirror to deter him for a few days and it worked like a charm everytime.

Good call! The only mirror I have is one that comes with the flip up pressed powder makeup. It's only about 2 1/2" round, and I didn't think it was big enough to do the trick, but WOWZERS my Kole HATES himself!! I might have to remove the mirror to give him a break!

Myka the tank looks great, glad to hear the little C is doing well after its rather rough trip
in the sand bucket. Opp's at least he made it. Can't wait to see the new fish photo's.
Have you managed to sell the extra rock yet? Looking forward to photo's with sand too!
Have you found the emeralds yet?

Yu guys are probably sick of photos (ya right!), but I'm trying to learn how to take better photos thatnks to a thread on here where people have been helping me. So everyday I get better photos and want to share them!

No Leah, I haven't worked on the rockscape at all. This is Friday's project...FOR SURE this time!! I tried looking for the Emeralds again, and couldn't find them. Now there is a cycle going in that bucket from the rock being transferred, and the ammonia it quite high. I doubt they could survive, but I haven't found their shells. I will look again for them now that you have reminded me.

Here's a pic of the Cyphastrea 'Meteor Shower' frag from Wicked Frags just for you:




I finally got a pic of the Blue Assessor which has acclimatized well, she (I'm hoping) is happily making the rounds around the tank now that the Kole is TOTALLY engrossed with killing himself in the mirror. Sorry the photo is poor.




Here's a pic of how the Kole is looking now...the chameleon:




A pic of my Fox Coral from Pet City that had an accidental fragging last year. It actually has neon green mouths, but I can't get that to show up in my photos:




You can see this Open Brain (Pet City) has mostly recovered from the slow bleaching it was doing last fall:




Lovely Acan frag from Red Coral. Fast grower too:




Finally got a decent shot of the Squamosa (from Red Coral) that shows the color well:



A macro of the Favia (from Pet City):




A better shot of the odd leather (from Bayside Corals). Anyone know what it is?

None of my fish ever cared about the jawfish in their tank. The jawfish on the other hand, hated all the fish in my tank. They gleefully ignored him but he would just freak out if they swam too close. Yeah .. nice looking fish but I really don't miss the stress I felt when I had them. Rather particular needs. I know it sucks to put a recommendation to give a fish away in your tank thread, but between their particular needs, and his coming in by accident, and your tank being BB, I do sorta stick by it. Or set up a new tank. (Come on, you know you want to anyhow... )
