    Thanks Shin! The only one I know for sure is the Red Planet frag I got yesterday. The other acros no clue, don't even know the genus.

    John thinks the green one behind the red planet might be a tort and the one near the anemone a tenuis. He said hard to tell with the size when I first got them. They've grown a bit since I got them, mainly encrusting more.

    Thank you! The bow can be deceiving. Sometimes I have to look at the tank from the side glass to get a relevant perspective on everything, lol.

    I almost had the wife convinced to get a 46 gallon bowfront that was on craigslist the other day. She decided she didn't want it lol and we came home with another clown lol.

    Tanks looking great and nice video!

    Have you had any other issues with the Cherub nipping your softies?

    Damn, that would have been awesome. I love the dimensions of the 46 bow, it is 4 ft long right? At least you didn't go home empty handed and your clown is pretty dang cool.

    Thank you very much :)

    He has yet to nip at any of my softies and SPS. He seems to like things that we commonly refer to as brain corals. Harassed the trachy, nipped at my acan lords occasionally, but I never noticed any real damage. I've never had any favia/favites or other brain corals, so don't know what he would do with those.

    I've been meaning to do an update Shin. Unfortunately I lost my scooter blenny about a week or two ago. When I found him, his tail was in my duncan's mouth and his body had holes from the crabs and snails consuming him. Wish I knew what got him, I really don't think he starved.

    Well I bought a pistol shrimp and goby yesterday and wanted to snap a picture of them. I keep seeing sand and pebbles being moved around all over the tank under my LR, so the shrimp is hard at work. Can't find the goby though and he was being harassed to death by my angel last night :(

    I'll try to snap some pics tonight.
