    I went crazy today at my LFS! I'd been eyeing a Powder Blue Tang they had and since my B-days March 5th my wife told me to go get him/her!
    This fish is in incredible health with no spots, just perfect! He/she is now among the 3 other tangs(Vlamangi,Kole,Sailfin) and all is well. He/she is swimming around eating and interacting with everone!
    I also spotted a Squarespot Anthias that must have been someones fish that they didn't want any longer. It's a male about 4" and is just beautiful! When i had him in the bucket acclimating he was looking straight up at me as if to say "hey buddy what the hell's going on". The photo does not do justice as to the coloration of this fish. Simply stunning!
    I also took home Green Mandarinfish. I've got tons of pods in my refugium having had my tank going a year this month, and figured it was as good a time as any. He is so cool! Was right out in the open picking on the live rock. Such a beauty!
    I also added my 2nd clam. A Deresa Clam. About 6". really beautiful cream and brown color, and i bought an Elegance coral from Australia. Stunning. I know the track record on these is rather sketchy but i couldn't resist.
    Hope you all like the photos. I'll post the Clam and Elegance in thier proper forums. Make sure and take a look.

    I've got my fingers crossed. The key is a cleaner wrasse. I'm looking for another. Just have to make sure they eat frozen food before you buy them.
