    Look for a red pigmy goby. Or other little pigmy gobies. Like 3/4" long and loves living in a shell lol. Would be a great fish for a tank like that!!! Beautiful!

    lol, i do love the optical illusion the curved glass creates, but some of them are pretty darn big too...the devils hand leather in the front is about 6" across and 4" front to back...the pinkish kenya tree is about 6" tall and wide, the toadstool has about a 3" head and is about 5" tall.

    thank you very much

    thank you as well, i try somewhat hard to keep it nice

    well thank you very much.

    that is what i like to hear when people come in to my house, virtually speechless, thank you very much.

    thank you very much
    the lighting is a DIY LED fixture i made, it consists of 11 3W cree XRE's, 5 CW and 6 RB, on separate dimmers, the blues at 100% of 700mA and the whites about 40% of 700mA as well ( i think, they might be on a 1000mA buckpuck)

    thank you very much

    LOL you arent the first person to tell me this...i too would love a bigger tank, but have to work with in my budget and space constraints (that my wife has imposed) thank you very much for the kind words..

    thank you as well...

    it is so nice to get so much interest in my little slice of ocean...again thank you everyone for the kind words.

    well this is pretty cool, and once again this hobby never ceases to amaze me...just yesterday i was watching my tank before lights came on, and what do i see?

    what look like two anemones on a little piece of rubble...now i have no idea where the little piece of rubble came from or how long it has been in my tank, but there are two little pinkish red anemones with clear tentacles and little white balls on the ends...upon further research i believe them to be strawberry anemones...little (approx 1" once grown, currently about 5mm) colonial guys just swaying in the flow...strangest thing though, these are supposedly cold water species, and my tank has never gone above or below 78* more then a degree...

    needless to say, very cool find, i hope they live/ thrive...hope they dont become a pest though...they apparently only eat pods which my tank is abundant with...

    It would appear what i have discovered in my tank is not strawberry anemones but rather, white ball corallimorphs, either way still pretty cool
