glorious tank! i love the percs with the carpet anemone! it really shows that uve worked hard on your tank

 

[jacksonpt]

Good stuff. Nice carpet anemone - is it an S. Haddoni or S. Gigantea? Looks to me like an S. Haddoni but Percs (true or false) generally prefer S. Gigantea. The two speicies can be hard to differentiate in pictures so I thought I'd ask.

Jackson, I was wondering the exact same thing...

I liked your pictures very much, does your urchin carring eggs? looks like

 

[broomer5]

WOW !
Absolutely stunning photos Kris !!!!
sweet tank - thanks for sharing

 

[krishj39]

Thanks guys!
It's been so cool to watch the tank develop. I believe the carpet is an S. Gigantea, but the LFS didn't have it labeled, just as a blue carpet. It is over a foot and a half across when opened, and I got it for 30$!! The urchin isn't carrying eggs, those are its tentacles when not extended. It actually moves by these tetacles, extending them out past it's spines, and as you can see, also uses them to attach camo.
