Can't get a good pic of the FTS. Any advice on how to take a good fts pic??? Here's a few more pics for you guys to look at. Hehe.
Here's a few Acan's and Micros


Griessingeri Goby


This one is going to be real nice. Aussie Rainbow Micromussa


Palythoa Grandis- These things are huge!! They are bigger than a half dollar. You can see the comparasion with the mohawks right beside them. The Mohawks are the size of a dime.

I got the goby for like $100 you won't believe how small it is! It's tiny. That palythoa grandis is bigger than the goby.

Here's some Ricordia's

That's a Spike Fin Goby (Griessingeri Goby). They are very rare. I got mine in Cali. when i was visiting my parents. They are very small you will be surprised on how small they are. Very cute in person though. Not cheap either.

I would not recommend one in a big tank. If you have a nano then they are perfect. They need pods to survive also like mandarin gobies. And the spike on it's head flickers it's pretty cool they use it to attack the pods and predators.

I saw helfrich firefish on LiveAquaria a while back, they are awesome. I hope you get one, it would look great with everything you have now.

That's a beautiful fish. Is it a "shrimp" goby?

I don't believe it's a shrimp goby. Yeah i have been looking for a Helfrichi Firefish for some time now. No success. There was one a pet city like last year and i kept eyeing it but then the day i went to get it, it was gone.
