    Very pretty Clone. I had one for 4 years (Zeke) very cool fish. Can tend to become aggresive though. Especially to new tankmates.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The fish looks great against the back round of the pink, nice image. Looks like a nice healthy fat one. Probably loving all the pods you have built up.

    Thank you. The aggression is definitely a concern. I'm wondering if I have a limited time frame while he is small and not used to the tank where I could add some other fish.

    Thank you. It's been eating pods constantly. There are no more Amphipods annoying Zoa polyps :) I've also been feeding Mysis shrimp once a day wich it gobbles up.

    I ended up throwing a Neon Dottyback in there which he never bothered.Or vise versa.LOLThey are both very inquisitive fish who are constantly roaming.Great for flat worms or bristles.:)

    I picked up some frags from a local Reefer today.
    Hammer Coral ( about 10 heads)
    Three Monti
    Green Slimer
    A couple Palys

    These are my first SPS frags. They were pretty cheap, but the Monti frags were just broken off the colony. I put them on the plugs myself when I got home. I hope I did a decent job.


    There is a patch of algae growing on the sand. A hermit died and I didn't notice right away. I've since moved a powerhead to get more flow to the spot. I think I may also need a larger CUC now that I'm feeding Mysis daily for the Wrasse.

    Here are some pics:

    I added a Royal Gramma and a Firefish. They get along well and the Six Line seems more confident now that it's not the only fish :)

    I also learned a lesson in fragging: Don't use your thumb that has putty on it to push the frag down onto the plug :( Now there are dead white spots where I pushed with my thumb on the Monti frags.

    The Slimer seems to to be doing ok and so does the Hammer.

    Nice scores!

    The hammer looks really happy, opening wide!
