I've gone from feeding 8+ cubes of frozen per feeding to 1 and that's still a bit much. Good bye nitrates

Yup just have the one big one for now, will be keeping the aquascaping the way it is now. I'm a big fan of the open look and the fish seem to be enjoying the extra swimming space so it's all working out.

Some new photos of Flash Gordon, after having a bunch of people over I'm not 100% on the orange socket tang ID anyone have any other suggestions? He's constantly changing color from black to white and has the craziest silver lines when he's angry.

I don't study at my house for that exact reason, always head to school for the day and spend some extra time in the Library.

The pretty red polyps are pretty nice

I've wondered that myself a couple times. I'm not sure though, the ones I've seen had had more blue but it's hard to tell since the differences could be because of juvenile colouration or something like that (or lighting/camera/etc stuff).

Some pictures of blochii I took earlier this year:

If it helps cinch an ID..
