They're Rastas

 

[CoralJunkie]

wow those are awesome where did you find those? i need em

 

[s_kelley]

Grabbed them at the frag farmers market. I agree the colors are awesome

 

[STiTCH87]

Yeah I love my frag of rastas. Mine have roughly 8 polyps or so. Got them with my fruit loop zoas at last October's meeting in Taunton.

 

[Sokretys]

My goodness you made some scores! I really need to start showing up to events haha That is a really cool selection of corals that you have there. That will look killer!

 

[s_kelley]

Did some rearranging tonight, not sure if I'm happy yet tho.

 

[s_kelley]

Wish I could capture the real colors of this

Already seeing new heads

nice shane!!

 

[Ecsurfer76]

Nice job...

 

[s_kelley]

Been slowly adding livestock here and there. Grabbed this sweet filamented flasher wrasse at underwater world

Swung by cra also to grab some clear mesh to make a screen cover and fell in love with these true percs Jeremy said they have Picasso DNA hence the different markings. He still has a ton at a great price too

Now I just have to decide if I want to do an anemone again. If I do it's gotta be a different one like a rainbow or flame or something. So many options! Anyone have anything interesting available before I search online?

Sweet. I want another wrasse. I have a six line that the wife picked out but want another

 

[PSU4ME]

Very nice clowns. As for a nem I think calciumbuf has some nice rose ones if that peaks your interest.

 

[mark429]

be careful with that wrasse, i just had my second one commit suicide with an egg crate cover!

 

[s_kelley]

Great hairy mushroom rock I picked up.

Guess who else seems to like them..

 

[STiTCH87]

Nice clowns! Love the wrasse too, have one just like him.

 

[yukyuklee]

so shane how do you like this tank compared to the old one?

 

[s_kelley]

Im really liking the shallowness of it. Is shallowness even a word? Hmm
Anyways, its nice to be able to reach everything without putting my arm in the water all the way up to my shoulder
It is very different as far as space, I want to utilize the sand bed more but still have an aquascape which is weird, sort of like having a frag tank but wanting to make it display like with rockwork. Im getting good growth from stuff in the short time I have had it set up.
Focusing more on my corals instead of fish this time too which is kinda fun. Cant wait to get my zoa and acan gardens back
Wish I didnt have to loose everything to get to this point but I guess it is just part of our reefing madness

 

[yukyuklee]

yeah i always wanted a tank that I can look down on have you ever thought about moving the rock in the middle and seeing fish and corals all around it? just a thought! kind of like a lagoon style

 

[s_kelley]

I initially had it that way but keep moving things around

Wow, really cool Shane. I love the orange zoa/paly - hope it grows out for you. With a tank this shallow there's so much floor space for critters and coral - looking forward to seeing it mature.
