    The glowing of some of my corals under just the actinic lighting!!!! A totally different world, as many worms, shrimp etc. come out to forage for food...


    Sorry for my daughter's voice in the background! She was trying to get my attention to put a movie on for her(of course Finding Nemo)!

    It is a Cinnamon and I got her for an awesome price of $19.99. She is pretty big as well(3"). Very peaceful and she will eat out of my hand along with my Yellow Tang. Actually, my Cleaner shrimp will also eat out of my hand. I have a Peppermint and Fire shrimp in there as well, and they all get along, they are just photo sensitive(hahaha)!

    Well I think you just made up my mind. Ive been looking to get a cinnamon or two for awhile, but seeing and hearing about yours, im gonna do it, lol. They will be the first fish in the 100 gallon!! I always think my ocellaris clown has to have some cinnamon in it, it is a rusty orange color. That is what got me hooked on the real cinnamon.

    Nice. What kind of clam is that? I like your monti cap too. I found those to be a little difficult. Yours looks good. What has been your experience with it?

    Hi Matt,
    First of all, I have 3 Tridacna's! The one represented in my YOUTUBE opening is a 5"Squamosa with beautiful blues and brown coloration. I also have a Gold Maxima and a blue Crocea.
    As for the Montipora Capricornis, the orange, I also have green=they grwo well with hmoderate to intense light and a good water flow. You have to be acreful with them as I lost half of the orange one by increasing the light to quickly. It bleached but fortunately, I was able to save it and it has since grown back!!!!!
