It might have been but it was covered in coraline. It would have come in with my Kanai rock in May, but I didn't see it until the other day. And I doubt I'll see it again. Every few days I'll notice something that I've never seen before. I used to see a lot of nudibranchs and a sea hare but they all seem to have died now.
Lots of tank photos at www.lamint.ca/quinn.

That is one weird halo around the snail in the fourth picture.
 The blenny poking his head out like that is awesome, BTW.

Same camera as always. Sometimes it does a good job, sometimes not. The problem is the resolution, 640x480, which is like 0.5 megapixels. I bought it before they measured cameras in MP (around 1997, that thing has been through hell and back).
Those clowns are actually the black strain of Amphiprion polymnus (saddleback clownfish). I got them from AI, labelled percula clownfish, which they are not (I have to remind James about that). I have never seen true black A. perculas in stores, but I bet James can get you a pair. You will find that A. polymnus are fairly aggressive, up there with Premnas biaculeatus (maroon) and A. frenatus (tomato). I have read on RC that you can pair regular A. perculas with black individuals of the same species, and I expect they would be fine with A. ocellaris as well (Rasta has a pair of each in his reef). For what it's worth, my pair had orange on their noses when I bought them. As they've grown it has diminished, to the point that the female is purely black and white and the male only has a bit of orange on his pectoral fins and a light orange/white spot on his nose. Courtesy the latest issue of Reefkeeping mag (http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-10/index.htm): Black A. percula:  Black A. polymnus (like mine):
