    I refuse to use his full name. He shall be called Bo or nothing at all.

    You could do what I do... My co-worker has a cat which his fiancée named Bentley... Well I think he looks more like Gandolf (from lord of the rings obviously) than a car so thats what I call him.

    Oh and here's one more update. We started out with 3 chromis, but now we're down to two. :D The one that went missing had a wound on his back and had some nasty ich pop up (probably from the wound) on his tail, so he either died or was too slow. Bo has been eyeballing the remaining two, so we figure it's only a matter of time.

    If those two go, we'll try a damsel, in hopes that a damsel is fast enough and aggressive enough to survive. If the damsel dies, no more fish. Period. :p

    Well at least his killer instinct is in affect. I tried feeding Fister some decorator crabs but he isn't interested. He seems to only like frozen krill and live ghost shrimp... with the occasional hermit crab or snail.

    Bocephus P Diddley, the pimp with a limp, he'll bust a cap ... err. . hammer in your booty if you step outta line.

    Cool shrimp, neat tank set up- congrats! Very pretty mantis.

    haha it does sound like its scientific name.. but i like it! Bo for short sounds go, now that i think of it he looks like a Bo haha. Well good luck with the future with Bo and make sure Princess gets some attention too. I am currently starting up a 55 gal reef tank but will be away forr 2 weeks when i get back i will begin. Im sure i will keep in contact with most of you people because you know what your al talkin about and you all seem down to earth. good luck to all my fellow reefers!

    He was almost "unnamed" - When Jwin said he thought Bo was stupid, I said FINE, we just won't name him. Don't you guys love it when we use the word "fine." It generally means you don't have a chance so just give up....

    I thought his full name sounded like a rapper....;D

    Thanks! I think he looks like a Bo!

    when you women use fine , its akin to your mom using your middle name or the wife saying, "why dont you just go to sleep dear" while holding a pillow. scary , scary stuff. lol.

    nice name triplemom, seems appropriate.
