My new Lyretails :) I was very scared as my husband had to acclimate them and he has NEVER done anything for the fish or tank before....

 

and here they are!!! (I did not have him put them in QT as they need so much swimming room)

shrimp goby died.. he was fairly thin and small and I was worried when I didnt see him yesterday morning... found him this morning :(

with that said...I wont be getting a second one incase it was aggression from the jawfish... and I'm thinking about 1 more fish but not sure what I want so Ill just have to get corals for now :)

Well... the RBTA that split isnt lookin so good... gonna have to wait that one out.. also moved the trumpet frag.. looks like it didnt like being so high up near the light as its green is receding a bit... other than that, these are just a few updated shots before my NEW frags come in tomorrow!!!

SOOO... my male anthias is picking on my new midas blenny... I wonder if he thinks the midas is one of his girls???

If he keeps it up he's gonna be gone.. he's the only large fish in the tank and I wonder if he's getting to big for his briches in there...
