I just wanted to share a few photos with you all hope you enjoy. And yes there is a lot of sand floating my diamond goby loves to stir it up.

My favorite looking snail. 
Lawnmower Blenny AKA "Kisses" 
Sifty at work 
Cleaner Shrimp AKA "Shrimpy" 
Full tank shot 
Pulsing Xenia I have another smaller one also. 
I forget the proper name for this I think it is a green Polyp? But it waves around nice and notice the bluish green item groing on the rock in the coral. I am not sure what it is. 
A cluster of two different types of Zoa's 
Another shot of Sifty

(just could not get enough of the fishes). for a week a cut the light back to 5 hours and that did most of the trick. I am slowly increasing the lighting time. All chem levels are great. Thanks for the positive reply. | |

The fish on the third pic looks like a Seaweed Blenny. I just caught one on Friday and let it go today. The one that I caught looked just like that. I let it go b/c they're known to nip at stony corals.

He was darker in color when I bought him but he has been trying to get rid of my algae problem like a champ and has turned a little green because of it. He is cool never the less. I do not plan on having any hard corals so I guess I'll be okay. | |

Could be, I've actually never heard of a Seaweed blenny, but I also haven't been reefing as long as Luna either =)
Either way, nice tank + karma. | |
