    I like the look of macro in the sand bed. What you have looks like a halimeda. Did you notice any growth of it (it grows relatively slowly) at all?

    In CBS defense I feel like they may attempt to sntch any fish but can only capture nd kill the weak or dying.
    That being sid they require. Much lrger tank thn what most people provide. They grow up to and tke n are over 6" diameter.
    If I ever setup something 120g or lrger I'd really like a blue CBS pair.
    With all tht said- you store credit guys re spoiled. My main LFS is going out of business after 15yers of great service. Within a week the doors will be closed. He hasn't been able to afford doing trade ins for credit mainly since not enough people around here buy and shop for corals or SW tanks. It.A Shme

    That is a shame. I always hate to hear about a LFS going out of business. On another note though, I think I might be coming home with a snowflake clown for the mocha clown to pair with and a Florida ric! :) Maybe my wife will get the flame angel in the LFS as well, but I doubt it. The snowflake is beautiful though. It has a real nice blue outline along the black stripes. We had to take turns in the store because the 3 little ones are sleeping in the car lol

    OH, ok. Sometimes I am a little slow according to my wife lol. Thanks for ID though. I need to break that rock apart and place the corals where they can thrive a little easier once acclimated to the light and everything.
