this is a small leather and a small open brain.
got them both for a very very very cheap price.
almost free.
by the way, what kind of anthias is the one on the left side of the pic? im clueless. im thinking it's a female lyretail, but im not so sure.

this is a rock full of mushrooms, macroalgae and other sessile invertebrates. i like the mushrooms a lot, different colors ranging from pink to rainbow-colored shroomies.

I agree that it's kinda difficult to find a nice colorful/beautiful hammer, but yours still look awesome :cheer: :cheer: Nice tank btw, you must be "speeding" after the tank has finished cycling.

I'd try growing corals from frags rather then buying wild full grown stuff. Its easy to setup a tank a load it up with stuff from the LFS..

thanks for the flattering comments, guys :0
however, are there no negative remarks? i was kinda hoping there would be :)
nice suggestion golfish, but im doing that too right now. i currently have small frags (most are shrooms and zoanthids though) i try to steer away from sps.. too hard :D

here's another pic of the anthias.
i cant get a better one. he's nbot afraid of hands.. but whenever he sees a camera, he goes outta sight.
he looks malnourished too.

here's a sebae anemone and a clarkii clown.
theyre fun to watch.
ANYTHING the clown gets, he brings it to the anemone.. i mean everything, including pellets, nori, and garlic.
it's really fun to watch them. the clown also attacks the hermit crabs that get too close to the anemone.

lol. i thought no one would ask.
i have no sump, no refugium. all i have is a cheap skimmer and a powerhead/overhead filter.
as for lighting, there are 4 20-watt bulbs, 2 20w NO. that's it. really.
i still cant find VHOs or any stronger lighting, so that leaves me with no choice,.. :nope:
