Thanks! I think my wife would kill me if I didn't keep it clean.

The starfish is an orange linckia.

Thank you.

The tangs do get along. Once in awhile I see some nipped fins. But for the most part they don't bother each other. The Vlamingi is now as big as the Hippo. He has grown really fast. They actually all swim in kind of a school.

I have already planned out what I want. A 300-350 gallon tank that you can view from both sides under my stairs.

The frogspawn is actually yellow. Our tank has PC lights (2 50/50 and 2 full actinic). I went with mostly actinic to try and bring the color out more but think I will go back to 2 10K and 2 actinic when I have to replace them.

I actually just pulled out that last one on the right. I have also added a few more pieces of rock and some more corals. I need to take some new pics and will post them. It is all live rock, no base rock in there.

I bought a second tank (30 gallon) and added the residents to my big tank. I wasn't sure what to expect when I added the new coral banded shrimp to live with my old one since everything I read said not to do it.

But I figured the tank was big enough that they might not ever cross paths since the old one never seemed to venture far from his "spot". This is what happened within 30 minutes and now they are inseparable.

I also added a maroon clownfish, a royal gramma and took a chance on a coral beauty.

 

[crypt keeper]

if its aggressive take it back and get a Flame angel. Much prettier and not nearly as aggressive/
Gorgeous tank. Are your snails breeding? I forget the name but they can become a issue

 

[phxfishguy]

Not worried about the aggressiveness, but slightly concerned it may bother some of the corals. But so far, no problems. He has been in there about a month.

 

[phxfishguy]

Latest update. I've lost the Fridmani. Came home one day and his belly was huge and white. By the next evening, he was nowhere to be seen.

I assume my brittle starfish had a snack.
Also, the coral beauty has decimated my xenia. They are all now just stubs.

I'm pretty sure he also took out one of my LPS. I want to get him out but it is impossible to catch him with all of the rock work. If anyone has suggestions that doesn't involve tearing up my tank, I would love to hear them.
