Anybody that wants to join in feel free...I just opened a 6-pic and thought I'd share the first one...

This pic is looking from the center front of my display towards the left side...the wrasse is either a red coris or a formosa...I've never been able to positively id it...but I've had it for well over a year now...I'd prefer him to be gone but that will have to wait until I switch over to a larger display. The damsel is the final survivior of the initial cycle nearly 2 years ago.
I'll be back later with another...:cool:

Yup....it could be a red coris...but then again it may be a formosa...I got it very young.....been over a year and its about 5"-6" in length.....changed from red to dark ...and now its getting a metallic blue along the bottom and starting to lighten to a pinkish/red around the head area .........
In any case time for another fresh one.....

This is a look at the upper / middle section of my lil 55 reef...space is getting to be a primium ...would be tough to space many more corals.Also there is my new blue tang(about 3")....7 week quarentine....just now showing a sign of a touch of stress but other than that it is in excellant health.....before the flames begin I assure you this was a careful consideration...and it will have a 150 gal display within the next 6 months.......I know the needs and I hope to have this fellow a long time.......:cool:

I know...I know.....this tang will not stay long in a 55....and believe me its a healthy speciman...so I think he'll live to see the 150....and much longer if all goes well.....:cool:
