What ever pic number one is it is beautiful. I want one. LOL Thanks for sharing.

 

I found it.. Red/Strawberry Carnation Scientific Name Dendronephthya Rubeola. I went back through some of the books I had bought about 10+ years ago. The book is small but great. A Practical Guide to Corals for the Reef Aquarium by Ed Puterbaugh and Eric Borneman.

Thanks for the compliment

 

thanks missionsix. Going to a couple stores today to see what else I can find. Was looking at some Green Torch, a brain, and a moonstore last weekend but had other stops to make and did not want it sitting in the heat ( I ended up hitting 5 reef stores and came up with 1 good one). They also had a juv. Marine Betta that I have been looking around for to add to my FOWLR. Could be another expensive weekend.

 

they had a marine beta in my LFS this week but their very aggressive from what I've read so I'm stayin clear, very cool looking fish though

 

Iraf.. I have had a Marine Betta(when I lived up north) and he was not aggressive at all.. Very shy fish actually which really does not swim around to much they just kind of hover over a chosen spot where it can make a dash to it's hiding spot.

I have never heard of them being aggressive but as we all know just like people we all have different temperments.

Anyways he will be going in with my sailfin, yellow tang, black Ocellaris, flame angel..(some day the emperor).. so he better have some attitude to him/her.

 

Added frogspawn..

 

Some more pictures with new additions. Also just playing around trying to get some good pictures. Some leather additions. My Sabae is starting to move out more into the open. My Strawberry Carnation is looking healthy. Full tank pictures. Yellow Watchman doing his job protecting the pistol shrimp. I have had the pistol shrimp for months but realized I had never posted a picture of him. So here ya go.
