Thanks all of you for the compliments. For some mysterious reasons, zoo/paly love my tanks. However, brown xenia doesn't do well but white xenia does great. I acquired a few more frags (Devil Armor, Nuclear Green, Purple Death, Rose Nebulas) probably 3 to 4 weeks ago. All of them grow well and I already have mini colonies . The Rose Nebulas is such a fast grower. I acquired two 1 polyp frags 2 weeks ago. One of the frags already have 5 polyps while the other one has 3 polyps.

Flame wrasse is one of my favorite fish. I was so sad that 2 of them died thanks to the Maroon Clown pair. Check out the Red Tail Anthias, that is my favorite!!!!!

I am happy that your tank is back up. Wish your tank the best!!!
I have those in the 2nd and 4th picture. What are the names of those wrasses? I love the mystery wrasse. I am comtemplating about getting the mystery wrasse and the four line wrasse. However, I have to many fishes that I don't want to push my tank to the verge of crashing. What can I do? Too many fishes that I want but not enough space.

Red Fairy wrasse... unfortunately it tangled with my wrasse in the 5th pic... and jumped out one morning... I guess I will be getting a leopard again....

Tai, I guess you have to start pulling fish out like I did...Its a pain but worth watching these guys swim around and inspect every zoo colony and rocks for pods and those bastard ampipods...

I also have a banded pipe fish patrolling my QT for new zoos.. its also trained to eat cyclopeeze as well....

charles,

I love the leopard wrasse but I just killed one recently. I guess my tank doesn't have enough pod for both the mandarin goby and the leopard wrasse. However, the leopard wrasse did do me a big favor before its died. It eradicated the brown flatworm for me.

How''s your PPE doing? Can I get a polyp whenever you frag them? Did you get the rose nebula from Phong yet? If not, I'll hook you up when I come back for X-mas break. I know it's kind of long unless you want a baby polyp.

P.S. I'll call you to let you known when I am free tomorrow at my work place so that you can pick up the Supernova. Please PM me your phone number.

This Aussie Pistol shrimp was a hitchhiker from my Aussie Blastomussa Merletti. It's so beautiful.

Tai, the rockstarsupernova is doing well.... I just found me a nuclear green pistol shrimp when I cracked a rock open to make rock frags for my zoos. Its sick looking best pistol I've seen since the blue/purple/violet.

Tai, trust me you will get a polyp or 2 of TRUE PPE's I got from Steve Tyree himself. I'll let you know what happens if I get the rose nebs from Phong.. I'm also heading to Rommell's next week to pick up palys I ordered from him and might buy some more while I'm there..

Rommel has nice palys. You can't believed what happened to my tank yesterday. I accidently had my timer on all night, therefore my calcium and alkalinity was continuously added and precipitated out in my tank. Yesterday, I had a go away party and my tank was in its worst condition. I did a 20% water change. Everything look ok except my frogspawn. I'll do another 20% water change today and hope for the best. Out of all the day, it had to be yesterday I was so sad. Other than that my party was a blast
