I CORRECT MYSELF! The veggie clip may not have been snapped off of its line by a tang with super human strength. Today I watched as my 26" snowflake moray eel attacked the hanging clip and ate the attached nori! WTF! Since when do moray eels eat seaweed!? Wow...

He generally doesnt come out to get his picture taken but I was able to snap both of these recently. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it eating the nori. Weird.

The eel has been much more 'reef safe' than my purple tang and copperband butterfly. The smallest fish I have with it are a mandarin dragonet and a yellow coris wrasse. No crabs or shrimp.

That poccilliporra in the back. Is that the pink one you had before? If so, is it the lighting or pics? 'Cause it looks like the same color as mine and mine used to be pink when I got it from you. Same with hamilton 14k and geisman 13k.

Its the same one, I originally got it from ReeferRob. Its under 14K 250W phoenix bulbs so that might make a bit of a difference. Doug has one that is similar but with some green color to it.
