    As far as I can see, you have a clownfish and a Yellow Tang. I cant see anything else, the pic comes out real small. Luna

    Do you have to strap down the rocks or do they move on their own? :p

    What kind of lighting came with the tank? How long was the tank up before you bought it? If it was up for a while, the rock is cured and has become "live rock." It looks like a nice setup - congrats - give us some more details, like protein skimmer, sump, etc.:)

    LOL Way to welcome the new guy! That rock looks live to me! Most stuff that is considered "live" in a tank you won't see. Because you are successfully keeping a Yellow tang and a clownfish in there I would say that your rock is live :p

    Live Rock only means that it has been sitting in a tank creating bacteria inside. Luna
