Oh My Gosh! Your clowns really only have ONE eye!!! Thats freaky lookin. They look liek they just weren't born with it! wow.
Sorry, I just read through the beginning of your thread and saw that. oh yea, I like the rainbow pics!lol

Yep pretty sweet i thought.. and half price haha... They were kindof freaked out when i put the LR but now they are swimming around again.. They were born that way.. at first they had stripes where their eyes would be and the breeder didnt see it... and then they grew up and my LFS couldnt just trash them so they sold them half price...
Best part is they are from different pairs and litters... and they met up in a tank i guess and now they are Hubby and wifey... strange opposites attract... each one is missing the eye the other has..

YA UPDATE time...
So starting to fufill my stock list..
got my scooter blenny.. small but he will grow..
And my father wanted 3 yellow tail Damsels.. they are not Bullies so that will be fine.. And got a frag of some green stripe looking mushrooms and a pulsing xenia.... SMALL but 3 bucks each.. hopefully will thrive.. have xenia on island... And mushroom on large rock to start the baby makin... Lol
Will post pics tomorrow.. everything looks good..
Little bit of slime red algae i THINK could be coralline.. though i saw hermit munching away.. hopefully something will eat its on one of my fiji rocks on base of rocks..
There are a few of theses slimy puff balls on rock.. Any ideas...
Purpling up nice...
And there were hitch hiker snails with my coral frags.. They bad?.. i trashed them but i wanna know for next time...
Please post my thread is so inactive compared to everyone elses...

And i did not he looked really active and was flying all around.... so if he has problems ill just take him back ... easy peasy lemon squeezy

New pics... Lol my other tank thread already is past 2 pages and i dont even have it set up.. haha anyways heres the new stuff...

One of the yellow tails.. as scaring.. i think my clowns might have picked on him last night.. No ICH.. its not white just lighter blue.. and he only comes out real quick to eat then back to his hiding spot.. Everything eats.. Didnt see scooter eat but then i couldnt find him till i took the pic... Still feeding flake until i get funds for own food.. and ima get some of that stuff to seed the reef... King neptune just bought some forget what it is.. also gonna get a reef package...

Uhhh i cant take it anymore..
got a bunhc of stuff today for my tanks. open it up and start putting what i can in tank... the problem i have is green algae everywhere and i cant clean glass cause rocks to close... the only way to fix this is to take out rock... I cant get a design i like the one i have is unstable but o well it will have to do .. i lost so much salt water so i have to mix an emergency batch with well water....
Im so fustrated everyones tanks are perfect, no green algae all over glass and they do what they are suppose to ... mine just wont coorporate...
I wanna stop but i cant uhhh...
