Thanks for the welcomes!
Here's my maroon female and ocellaris male:

These two have been mated for a year and 3 months now.
My Mandarin:

My fire shrimp and tiger serpent star who hang out together:

My baby Eibli Mimic tang(the coral behind him was a carnation that my dad was mistakenly told was a different kind of carnation that would live; it died 3 months later):

One of my green palys:

This is a picture of the tank 2-3 months ago. I promise I will get a more recent one:

A yellow polyp:

Sorry this picture of my hammer is a little blurry, I took it without the flash to get its coloration:

These are my prized green ricordea(I only had 2-3 when I started):

That's all for now. Sorry for getting so carried away.
