    Very, VERY good news about your Mom John.
    I know how you feel. I get paid every friday. LFS is directly across the street from my bank. Its not fair, lol.
    And dont say I didnt warn you about the p shrimp. Mine never touched aiptasia, and they are the most skittish, un-interactive shrimp I have seen. I took mine back to the LFS eventually.

    Additions, IDs and Pics. The full meal deal......

    It's been a couple of days since the last pics posted so I am going to play catch up.

    My red coris wrasse that I picked up last week. It was hard to get a good pic. It does not like to stay in one place. The tang seems to be it's best friend as they pretty much shadow each other.

    [​IMG]

    This is something weird that I got out of my tank. I think the wrasse has been hunting them down, whatever they are. This one I took out of the tank. Anyone have any guesses?

    [​IMG]

    This one I could not get to. It looked just about done. Not alive I mean. Anymore. It disappeared later on.

    [​IMG]

    My new mushroom coral. It is not extended at the base like I want, but the polyps are extended nicely. I was a little concerned about my lighting, but it seems to be adequate. I have adjusted the Koralias so that the flow is not right over it.

    [​IMG]

    My mushroom rock. It has been in there for months and is finally looking comfortable.

    [​IMG]

    A front tank shot just for the heck of it

    [​IMG]

    A quadrant shot just for the heck of it. You can see the new little Kenya Tree that I got the other day. Nothing spectacular.......but I still like them. I know, they will take over my tank. Cool. Let them.

    [​IMG]

    A couple of motion shot of the three biggest fish in the tank

    [​IMG]

    And lastly, a picture of my dog looking pathetic. He had a cyst treated and had to wear this thing for a week. We let our son name him when he was 3. The name was Clifford. After Clifford the Big Red Dog. Clifford. Whatever happened to a boy naming his dog Spot?.......

    Very nice John. The wrasse you have is beautiful. You say they sleep in the sand. Well I have a question and before you answer all I can say is I know I know I need to change to sand. If I were to get one will he burrow in crushed coral or is that out of the question.

    Wow that wrasse is awesome. I also just got a wrasse earlier today.

    You definately need to change the sand.

    refering back to page 8, yes coral bandeds are really good at growing back their pincers, and often at full length.

    And FYI CC is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I have yet to have a problem with it but will be changing over some time in the near future. As long as you don't over feed then you won't have to much of a problem.

    Yeah, I figure he gained 70% on the first molt. I am expecting 100% by the second, if it works that way. I was surprised.

    Speaking of shrimp, I purchased two peppermint shrimp with the hopes of eradicating my apthasia problem (which is about ten anenomes....nothing bad). Not only have they not done the job, they are no where to be found. All I have to say is, they better be eaten or dead, because I at least want to see my livestock if it is not working. Hmmppppffff.
