Babies!!
I had the neatest thing happen last night. I was looking at my tank with only the actinics on and I saw a peppermint shrimp do this really strange acrobatic thing. It looked like it had kicked up a bunch of silt off of the rocks. Then I looked closer and it had just released a TON of baby shrimp. Needless to say my clowns, tang, & filter feeders just went nuts. I'm not sure any of them made it but maybe because there were hundreds of them. I thought about trying to get a pictures but they were only about 1/16" long. You could just make out the GI tract and tail. It was really exciting and very neat to watch

Danielle, isn't that just the neatest thing? I caught mine releasing a number of months back. I was trying to figure out why my water was suddenly "dusty" when I realized some of the "dust" was wiggling.
Saddly, the big peppermint that seemed constantly pregnant went missing a couple of weeks back.

my experice thus far reveals that the hammer likes it low in a t-5 tank if opening up big is an indication

My corals came. I was doing the dip for the zoanthids, and holy crap...a pistol shrimp scurried out of the rock. There were also tons of amphipods, copepods and even a brittle star. Too bad the dip kills them!

Sorry Brian, but I have no idea. You didn't really think I would anyway now, did you?
Marianna...I use an Olympus Camera. The C-770. Here are some preliminary pictures. I need for everything to open first for better shots: and finally, some of the rash I got. It goes all the way down the arm.

Looks great Pat! Can't wait to see them when they start to open up more. What do you think the rash is from? Weren't you wearing your gloves?
Scuba- I think this was an order from Sharky's Reef Marianna- I use a Kodak DX4530

Yes, I got them from Sharky's Reef.
Here is a free colony they sent...I'll probably give it to Bob since I'm trying to stay away from browns: I'm not liking the way the tank looks. Too much of the same colors. I need to re-arrange things. Here's more pictures with them open a little more:

Pat,
Great looking zoas! I have ones almost identical to your #5 picture in your last post and they really POP under my actinics! Nice pictures! Brian

Thanks Brian.
FedEx wasn't too gentle with the box, but luckily everything is alive. I just gave Bob the free colony, and one of the leathers and the GSP. He's so happy now. A hammer or frogspawn would look awesome in his tank under his blue lights. Next order! What I'd really like to get now is something I don't know the name of....but it's very large and looks like a huge mushroom leather type thing. I know Landon has it in his tank. I'll have to search around for a picture of it so I can get an ID. Capricornis possibly?

I can't say I am disappointed in what I got today, but I'm not as excited as I was with the reefscience order. I think that's because with that order, I got the hammer and frogspawn and RBTA, and this was zoanthids and the 2 leathers. The zoanthids from today's order are more colorful than the reefscience order, but they're not as large so therefore, harder to see that I really added something to the tank unless you're close up to it. They don't stick out in the tank like the other order. But Sharky's service was tops. He emailed me right after I got the order to see if everything went well, and if I wasn't happy with something to let him know. I guess he keeps track of the signature for FedEx and emails customers when he sees the order was delivered. So all in all, I have to say both vendors were great and I would order from both of them again in the future.

Fish delayed in shipping
Of course the first time I order a fish for the tank ( don't want to buy anything from the lfs ) and the plane has mechanical problems and is delayed a day. What do you think the chances are it'll still be alive? It's a small kole tang.

well i installed the hydor heads on my powerheads. they rotate and distribute the water well. better than a single port powerhead,but, i feel that the flow is restricted. ie. not as much flow as an unimpeaded ph. wish i could test it someway.

I ordered from Petsolutions and I think I'll be fine if the fish arrives dead. Just the hassle and we were looking forward to seeing some activity in the tank soon.
