Heard of a spotted sweetlips. They get really big (2 feet) and are super ugly when big. Cute as they are brown and white stripes or blotches.

If you don't cry during this video, YOU HAVE NO SOUL. That is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing that. I am a retired/disabled vet. and I appreciate that very much.

Once weened over to frozens then squid, octo.,shrimp, krill, silversides etc. Soaked in vitamins and varied each feeding so it gets a variety. Feed until a small buldge is noticed in the stomach area.

No QT, in a reef, good luck. Nice find though if he is truly ich free.

Ricordea mushroom

Can be done but will tople over corals, rocks etc. and eat all the shrimp it can find.

Yep, kicked to the curb now, the sooner the better. Life is to crappy to be sad or heart stomped all the time. Get a new one and start over but go slow.

4-5 blue/green reef chromis. Their colors shimmer and change with direction of light and angle they swim.

The tang is not suited for such a small tank (it's tall, not long) and the star will kill any snail or crab you put in there. The lobster will outgrow the tank as well. Start mixing new salt water and in 24 hrs. of mixing and heating it, do a water change. You want to mix the sw so it is...

Besides the above, if you are looking for gift ideas; YOU CANNOT BEAT CASH! Perfect size, color, do not have to return it etc. and add a note that he should buy whatever makes him happy.
