Hey Melev, still trying to get that Kole Tang, he just doesn't want to sit in the right spot for a picture, and each time he does get in a picture he's zooming so fast that he's a blur *sigh*

Anyway here's a couple pics you may or may/not want both are reduced to 640x480 (cut to size NOT scaled)

Here's a featherduster without its feathers, it was still alive at this point, I touched it and it quickly retracted, but haven't seen it since wonder if he went to find a new place to make a new tube
featherless duster

And here's a peppermint shrimp, the aptasia eatting variant (unsure what the difference is between the two species though)
Peppermint Shrimp

I kept them as URLs just so I dont foul up the topic with too many picture for those who are bandwidth-deficient I will get that Tang, oh yes I will!

Just want to say I *LOVE* your site....I've got a 25H that is currently cycling and a 15H with a Cinnamon clown and yellowback damsel...she's getting too testy to keep in a tank that small with the clown so we're putting him in a new home.
If I can ever get a cable for my old Olympus, I'll send you some shots of hydroids and 2 stages of Upside down jellies...both in hydroid form and medusae form...I've got dozens of em now...

Melev,

I read your comment about the whelk snail and noticed that I have several of these in my tank. I was about to take these out of my tank and noticed the comment for the Nassarius Vibex snail. These look the same, how do I know which one I have?

melev, your website is now forever bookmarked on my computer!
Using your pics, I believe I have been able to partially identify one newly discovered critter as a worm - located in a live rock crevice, it appears to have ~6 bristled tentacles that feed its "mouth" w 2 tiny red ones "on top".
Also, as a beginner, I am astounded by the fantastic photos everyone is able to take. I am looking for tips on catching some clips. Got any tips?

Thanks for the link. I've been trying to show my hubby all of the different corals and he doesn't know names. He says I like that one, can I have it??? And now I can say oh, that is a zooanthid and it would be ok for a beginner.

The ID page is a work in progress, and I think I started it about a year ago. Thanks for the kind words, pjwperth.

These are my paramaters, over both of my tanks:
http://www.melevsreef.com/parms.html

Lighting over the 29g is 165w PC lighting (50% daylight, 50% actinic)
Lighting over the 55g is 2x175w 10,000K MH and 2x54w T5 Actinics.

Lighting is roughly 11 to 12 hours a day.
