    Well I'm not Catholic but I'm starting to make a tradition out of Fish on Friday (and Coral, too).

    Pictures are uploading to PhotoBucket as I type but here's the list...

    Joining the 4 tangs already in the tank are 4 more: Hippo, Kole, Mimic, and a Sailfin as big as a dinner plate.

    As long as I was in the shop, I figured that I'd pick up a few corals as well:
    baby blue millipora
    2 green slimers
    blue tip acoropora
    3 Australian open brain corals: pink; green & purple; red/pink/neon green
    green speckled leather
    yellow tubinaria (cup)
    blastomussa
    pink maxima clam

    They're one of my favorites too. I may run into trouble down the line with a Kole and a Chevron in the same tank but I should be OK for a a year or so and then I'll keep an eye on things. Worst case scenario is that I have to move the Kole over to my frag tank. Sadly, he's the only fish that I couldn't get a picture of this evening. He did eat with everyone else but he was too shy to me catch 'on film'.

    My kole tang was only seen "in passing" for about 3 weeks after purchasing. He's center stage now that he feels secure, but in the beginning, they're super skittish.
