Very nice, I have a clown wrasse in my 50 and he has the best personality. I wish I could have got my hands on a flame wrasse though!

I think he will, he's been eating for a few days now and been grazing on the rocks. He's already becoming a favorite of mine (he reminds me of Hawaii when I see him.)

Thanks, this is my first attempt at tank photography. I hope to get some better pics up soon.

Here's my brain, this guy has really gotten huge in the last few months. I'm gonna have to move him so I can clean the glass better!

Here's part of my montipora collection. In addition to the purple and orange monti caps, I have purple, green, and orange monti digitata. Oh, and a frag of a purple tipped monti cap. [img]

Here's a pic of a Potter's Angel i picked up this weekend. I have never seen them in my LFS before, but have seen them diving in Hawaii. They are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and a few atolls in the area. They are also one of the few native pygmy angelfish in Hawaii.

The Blue Devils are a real PITA and hard to catch in a tank full of live rock. The yellow tail damsels are pretty good looking but don't seem as agressive.

I'd say flatworms too.

I learned the hard way with the shrimp, I added a pistol shrimp awile back to a 40g with a coral banded and a few days later I noticed the pistol shrimp was "unarmed". Both his claws were gone! My assuption was the coral banded was the culprit.

What's your lighting like? There was a post a few days ago about clowns hosting in all kinds of things from zoos to colt corals. My true percs like to hang out in a torch coral.

It's called Red Slime Remover (close enough!) by Reef Products. Good Luck!

I saw a huge clam a few years ago off an island in Thailand called Koh Tao and it was beautiful, at least 3 feet long.

I've seen a sponge that resembles your pic, though a bit darker.

Dan/Reefann, what are some of the smaller species of eels you'd recommend?

If you can't siphon up what's already there, I've used a product (Red Slime Away?, not sure but I'll post the name when I get home). That clears it right up with no ill effects to corals or fish.
