The christmas fiasco

So there's a little story behind this thread... For chrismas my roomates decided to buy me this African Flameback Angelfish. My tank is a 20H and I plan on an upgrade to ~40g in the next 6 months so I thought it'd be a pretty cool addition to the tank.

Well I had to acclimate it to the water before adding it (I know I should QT, but it was kind of a spur of the moment thing...) so I floated the bag the fish was in in my tank. To hold the bag in place I used part of a glass lid. Well the lid fell into the tank!!!

It fell through the middle breaking all the large branches off of my "showpiece" purple digita. I had been growing the coral for over a year from a small frag! Well the 6" by 6" coral fell to pieces and this is what I have left...

As for the angelfish... about 36 hours after it was introduced into the tank it jumped out and the dog ate it. So that was cool too.

If anyone's interested in buying some frags of my digita so I can get another coral to keep my hopes up send me a PM...
