    Beautiful stuff Jerry. You're corals have such intense coloration regardless of the lighting.

    Wish I had the same luck with LPS that you do.

    Added a fourth Bowerbanki last night. I think that qualifies as a garden, now.;D First picture is last night right after the Bayer dip. Second and third are this morning. Full lighting, then only blues. Seems happy so far. I have my people on the lookout for more varieties, because they are awesome. :p

    On a sad note, my Emperor angel died last week. Came home from work, and he was on the bottom, not breathing. The only thing I can figure out is that a rock possibly collapsed on him, as there were marks on his head. No signs of a fight, and he was the alpha fish of the tank. Not planning on replacing it with anything.

    Sorry on the loss Jerry, such a gorgeous fish.

    Those Bowers are fantastic.

    Sorry about the fish Jerry, what a gorgeous specimen even in passing.

    The coloration to the Bowerbanki is it always red hues? They are very attractive, how difficult would you say they are?

    It's hard to tell if a rock fell in that tank, but there are some big ones that could have shifted. The fish had some blotchy spots on it's head that you can see in the picture, but who knows? Just a guess.

    I would describe the Bowerbanki's as easier to keep than Lords, but a little more costly, and not as common. They are also a little more aggressive and Lords need to keep their distance. Red seems to be common, but I have one that is purple and green.
