    picked up a few new critters for the reef this weekend. I brought my fiance to the lfs and let her pick out some fish. So I have a Royal Gramma and yellow tail damsel. I also replaced my yellow tang that just recently passed and purchased a new finger leather.

    John,
    I have one, the royal gramma isn't being to picture friendly. This is one of the yellow tail damsel.

    I also got a coral beauty over the weekend, but him and my bi-color aren't getting along too well, the bi-color has been in the tank for a while and he is chasing the coral beauty around. I think he is just showing the beauty some strength and they will settle down.

    Love the manderine gobies and actually was close to buying one, but I didn't see any good specimens.

    Fletch... How's that mandarin fish doing? I was looking into one but have heard they can be difficult do to their feeding requirements? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    He is doing great so far! my tank has been set up for over a year and there are pods and mysis shrimp galore in my tank for him to eat. I see him taking a mouth full of sand and then slowly spitting it back out feeding off of what is in the sand ( I assume ) .................. John
