my new addition

Everyone meet Rosie, the newest addition to my 55.

She is definitely the attention getter for the whole tank, at least for now.

Is that a 55 gallon? And what kind of lighting is that and how many whats? nice tank

 

[mbrands]

Thanks for the positive response!
Yeah, its 55 with about 80 pounds of LR.
It is a CoraLife fixture. 2x65w PCs, 2x65w actinic, and 4x3/4w lunar (obviously not on in the photo).

Awesome! Looks like its on fire.
Is that a bubble tip? I don't think I've seen "tentacles" that long on one.

Thanks, Bill F!
Its called a Rose Bubble Tip Anemone. The tentacles aren't as long as they probably look in the picture.

Actually, I've got 2 clowns (who have yet to show an interest in the anemone) and 2 twin spot gobies. I had a Hawaiian spotted puffer, but had to take him back to the LFS to keep corals. He has only been gone 24 hours and I miss him already.

I'm still trying to decide on what reef-safe fish I'd like. I'm limited by both size and quantity in a 55, so I want to take my time and choose wisely.
Thank you to everyone for the positive comments!
