Everything has finally settled down after moving the tank(took me 9 hours from 5:00pm - 2:00am :scared: ).
Here are the first pics of my 55 reef.
Enjoy!

A few more.
One is of the newest addition that I had the LFS holding until I finished the move.
It is my new Two Spot or Blue Eye Bristletooth Tang. After the Yellow Tang thread that I started, I decided on this fish. He is related to the Kole Tang and gets about the same size.
The pic isn't that great, but he moves fast and hides if I point the camera at him.

If you're wondering why I put my Red Open Brain on the rocks, it is because the Fighting Conch climbs all over him if he's on the sand.

Sorry, not seeing the purple or the rings. Ha! Cool deal though. I love the brain too. I was reading on bristletooth fish last night because I bought a Kole today, anyway, they said the the LM blenny and the other bristletooth will end up fighting!!? Just watch for that.
I see the difference now with the posted pic. Awesome fish.

I read the same thing somwhere.
I think it is because they are competing for the same food.

I have one in my 55 too. We call him blue eyes :jumping:
We have been nursing him back to health from the HLLE for about 2 months. Finally is gone, but we think it was due to carbon.
