Current Stock

One interesting thing about losing a bunch of posts in the switch from a self hosted back to the standard site is that I can see how much my corals have changed!  It’s interesting to see the difference.

Ignoring all the rest below – my current tank inhabitants are:

Coral: trumpet coral, plate coral, 5 maxi-mini anemones, green star polyp, metallic green frogspawn, various zoa, pink birdsnest (not so pink actually, working on that), green polyp birdsnest, pocillopora, purple idaho – strawberry – and red montipora cap., forest fire and green montipora digi, lord acan, a mess of mushrooms, devils hand, yellow fiji leather, toadstool, and bubble tip anemone.

Fish: Hoeven’s wrasse, not-quite-a-maroon-clownfish (sp???), firefish, blue-green chromis, banggai cardinal fish.

As I said – ignore the rest below – most are still there, but I’m keeping the pictures to see how the little frags have grown up 🙂

Current Shopping List: To be clear, when I’m talking about reef safe, I mean for the crustaceans as well. I’m not a glutton for punishment so I’m looking for “easy” fish, primarily so I can focus on parameters for coral rather than fish.

Green have been in the tank for 28 days, Yellow have been purchased and are either in QT or due to other considerations have been added directly to the tank.
