    Added an Aussie "Pink" Platygyra and 2 more female Lyretail Anthias.

    Stocking list so far looks like this:
    1 male and 4 female Lyretail Anthias
    1 black and white and 1 orange Ocellaris
    3 Green Chromis
    1 Spider Conch
    1 Sand Sifting Star
    1 Sally Light Foot (anyone have any negative experiences with one of these??)

    Waiting on adding more of a clean up crew because I still need to add about 100 lbs of live rock to complete the aquascape and I don't want to worry about smashing a bunch of snails and hermits.

    The color on the that frag looks very cool, almost a blue ,something you do not see a lot in corals. Congrats on the new aquisitions.:)

    Nice add Joey!

    The only thing i have heard about the sally light foots is that they might knock down some frags...But nothing about eating coral or fish...My neighbor has 2 pretty big ones in a 75g.

    Thanks Corailline! I missed out on a much nicer piece last week, so when this one popped up I grabbed it. Here's the one I wish I could have gotten...

    The blues and purples have definitely been catching my eye lately. Here are some other pieces that I would like to get eventually.

    Sweet. I was hoping that I wasn't going to regret putting him in the 265 because there is no way I'm getting him out of there. This one is pretty big too, at least 2" wide.

    Love those colors of the " here are the corals I am interested in". Now I am considering something similar with the blue green coloration. If I could find those frags locally I would be all over it. That will be a nice collection once you aquire them.

    Finally have our rock scape done! We had to wait awhile for the rest of our rock to cure. We can now start to add our livestock!;D
