    My baby Eibli Mimic tang(the coral behind him was a carnation that my dad was mistakenly told was a different kind of carnation that would live; it died 3 months later):

    One of my green palys:

    This is a picture of the tank 2-3 months ago. I promise I will get a more recent one:

    Sorry this picture of my hammer is a little blurry, I took it without the flash to get its coloration:

    These are my prized green ricordea(I only had 2-3 when I started):

    That's all for now. Sorry for getting so carried away.;D
