    whoops...I had a yellow wrasse that went carpet surfing for an unknown amount of time...seen it move its tail from the corner of my eye went over and picked it up and in the tank it went...lived well...but it stuck and left scales on the carpet where it had been laying so long...lucky the cat didn't see him first ! : )

    Man I love this fish! YWG's are doing fine, but the smaller has had two rides in the overflow so far.. Pistol shrimp MIA.

    I rather enjoy those types of fish myself. My sister has a 1 "armed" starry, it's a hoot. I have a lawnmower blenny... "his" name is gordo. I can put my hand in the tank and "he" always comes to see me. Often "he" brushes me while checking what I'm doing... I figure it's only a matter of time before "he" uses me as a perch one day. :) Lots of personality these blennies.

    Welcome to 3reef, Jlaw. Your tank looks great, especially for just staring in the hobby.

    I wish I saw this sooner. :) Nice adds.

    Updates on the splitting Frogspawn heads, All is going well, splitting nicely. Noticed my other one has a splitting head as well.
