    A few new adds:

    Though these were not bought as a "pair" the clown went right to the anemone...

    Thank you.

    I don't know if I will ever get a pic of the palm palm crab as it went into the rock work right away and is a nocturnal crab. The wife really liked it...

    Here's a link to the add I purchased from: Reefs2go.com Pom-Pom Crab

    Every thing in this order from Reefs2Go arrived in good shape.

    Very nice!

    Just so you know, there really is no such thing as a white sebae so expect it to turn brown once it has been in your tank for a while.

    I hope it gets some brow in it soon as all white is generally accepted as not a good sign for the sebae...we will be spot feeding the clown and anemone every day for the near term...after it gets settled into where it wants to stay in the tank, maybe we can cut back to 3x/week...

    For the time being, I wouldn't feed it at all. Eating requires the use of energy which it will need to save right now in order to acclimate to its new environment.

    Hum...that's counter to what I was thinking...which is that it needs to keep up it's energy to have the best chance of acclimating successfully...as the all white sebaes often live less than a year after purchasing for it is believed that the have expelled all of their host symbiotic algae...

    ...so, with out the symbiotic algae to nourish it, then feeding fresh/living foods was it's best chance...

    I'll have to do a bit more reading...

    Thank you,

    Joe

    You have a point Joe. I've always given that advice to folks who have added "unbleached" anemones to their tanks so perhaps it wouldn't be the best course of action to follow in this instance. Definitely something I'd be interesting in knowing more about so if you find any info, let us know.

    We are un-sure as to why, but our first fish losses occurred today. The tang and court jester were dead this morning.
