    Took some more shots of my peaceable little slice of paradise. Excuse the fish in some of them - they get curious, especially Chief the Flame Hawk.

    If anyone has advice on either how to make a fish hold still and say "cheese" OR how to photograph a moving fish, id love the information!

    anyways, enjoy! I sure do. :)

    edit: The clam and the conchs were weekend additions. I am already referring to the conchs as Frick and Frack.
    The clam did some BASE jumping off the rocks - so i wound up setting it on a rock on the sandbed where it seems beyond content now.

    a pair of clowns, allens damsel and a purple pseudochromis.
    there is also a Randall's Goby but he stays down on the bottom guarding the den he shares with the pistol shrimp.

    The hawk is by far the most comical fish in the tank. He likes to watch TV with me at night when the lights go down. The tank is fairly close to the widescreen and he tends to perch in that corner - often on the Magfloat when certain shows / activity is occuring on the screen. Must be just enough to catch his attention but its hilarious.

    Others have noticed it happen too. "wow is that fish really watching TV?"....

    +! on the Flame Hawk, I love mine no matter how hard my day is he always makes me laugh when I see him.
