    This is the giant aiptasia that fianlly I went after last week

    The new mask and snorkel really help out a lot but I'm lucky that the canopy didn't drop while I was leaning over the rim. I would have been cut in half and trapped inside the tank.

    Here are a few of the fish that I got yesterday...

    an Achilles tang right after he went in the tank. He's hiding today though I think that I see his shadow under one of my islands

    The Vlamingi tang is no where near as shy

    It was a challenge getting pics of the Borbonius anthias. There are 4 of them in there

    The engineer goby was too quick for me to get a picture of last night and I'll get some good pics of the Maroons later.

    Very nice fish. Are those all in quarantine or did you decide to bypass it for some fish?

    errr... do as I say not as I do? :-[

    I planned for QT but I still haven't gotten around to getting filtration for that tank so all 46 of my fish have gone straight into the display. QT would have had some advantages though because I haven't seen the Rust Angel or the Scribbled Rabbit since their first day in the tank (it has been a week now).

    Beautiful new additions!! Love the anthias. They are so pretty, but their fins give them a bit of attitude. Lol

    The pic of you snorkeling with a syringe made me laugh. Could that be called an occupational hazard ;D

    I have 3 fish in hiding: rusty angel, scribbled rabbitt, and achilles tang. Hopefully I'll see them soon. The Bourbonius didn't come out to eat today but they at least 'hide' where I can see them.

    I did leave a few for you. There were seven Bourbonius there when I left -- you should act quick. There was also another Achilles, another Vlamingi, and a Magnificent Foxface. I think that there's an Africanus Angel with your name on it as well.
