    the ones that look like buttons are green people eaters, their pretty hardy, i have 2 colonies of them, they look real sweet under moonlights

    well an update on the 24 aquapod every thing is going good! over the last 8 months i have lost the scallop and one of the clowns and a handful of snails and hermit crabs but ive also added a blue tang which has doubled her original size already and a few misc corals including a small frogspawn. i had to move again 2 weeks ago so im still trying to get everything back in place. ive also been noticing quite a few bristle worms and things that kinda look like mini mysis shrimp but i dunno ill try to get some new pics posted in the next week or so. thanks for all the advice and help i have received from this site!

    Those tangs are very tempting when they are small. Believe me, I am a little under the 70g recommended minimum for my kole tang but he is only about 2 inches. I am assuming you have a regal tang as I always see small specimens for sale reletively cheap. The recommended minimum tank for those is also around 75g depending on the source and they can reach lenghts close to 10-12 inches as adults. Just something to keep in mind. The aquascaping in the 24 looks great! I also fell victim to the clown and anemone in a new tank, lesson learned. Hang in there!
